MAG IPTV setup
About 5-10 min8 steps
MAG boxes (such as MAG 250/322/420/520) work with a “portal” address instead of a playlist. That is why you need to send us the box's MAC address; we add it to your account and you then enter the portal address.
Before you start
If these are ready, setup finishes in one go.
- A MAG box, power adapter and HDMI/AV cable.
- The MAC address written on the label under the box (starts with 00:1A:79).
- An active IPTV subscription and the login details sent to you (M3U link or Xtream details: server address, username, password).
- A stable internet connection: at least 10 Mbps for SD, 15-20 Mbps for HD/FHD, 4 Mbps or more for 30K is recommended.
- If possible, connect the device with a network cable instead of Wi-Fi; this reduces stuttering, especially during live sports broadcasts.

Don't make typing mistakes in the portal address; enter it exactly as it was sent.
Letters in the MAC address are written in capitals; don't forget the colons.
Keep the box's software up to date; the portal may not load on very old versions.
If you change the box, let us know the new MAC address.
