Just above the wlan driver box, you can see some files like wpa_supplicant and netd, you need to copy your stock files(mentioned in the image) from /system/bin and paste it in respective atvX folder.

Also copy and overwrite your /system/etc/wifi folder from stock to atvX.

The path is given already by Nayam.,read..
And yes it is necessary if you want to modify or replace wifi files.

Use xplore app and look at that system/etc/wifi folder
Or extract the img of your own choice and find that dir,and rebuild it.

I always make backup of dir first before changing stuff.

Performance depends on board construction, WiFi antennas, and your Router. If your Router is crap then even the best WiFi chips won't have good performance. The best chips are labeled 2T2R or MIMO and have a data throughput of 800+ Mbps. Budget Android TVBox devices usually don't have good WiFi chipsets.

Thanks, so it does not matter wether AP62xx or RT8xxx? Beside this I experienced some better performance on different roms, maybe due to tweaks in General no matter which chip is used? Could be just a feeling...

I equipped the tx92 with external antenna connector and I had better connection then with attached WiFi antenna.

What about the internal PCB antenna. Does replacing with internal 8dbi PCB antenna make sense?
