A MAG box connects to IPTV with a portal URL linked to the box’s MAC address (printed on the sticker under the box). Send us the MAC, we activate it, then enter the portal URL under Settings → Servers → Portals. The MAG 524 and MAG 424 support 4K; the MAG 322 and 254 are HD models.
MAG models
- MAG 524 / 524w3 — 4K HDR Linux box, Wi-Fi on the w3 version.
- MAG 424 / 424w3 — 4K Linux box (the Android model is the MAG 425A).
- MAG 322 / 324 — Full HD, very popular and reliable.
- MAG 254 / 256 / 250 — older HD models, still supported.
MAG box setup, step by step
- Find the MAC address on the sticker under the box (starts with
00:1A:79). - Send it to us on WhatsApp with your order or free trial request.
- On the box, open Settings → System settings → Servers → Portals.
- Enter a name (e.g. “IPTVMaple”) and paste the Portal 1 URL we send you.
- Save and restart the box. The portal loads with live TV, VOD and the guide.
MAG troubleshooting
- Stuck on “Loading portal” — check the URL, including
/c/at the end. - “Authentication failed” — the MAC we activated must match the box exactly.
- Time wrong in guide — set your time zone in System settings → Time.
MAG vs Android boxes
MAG boxes are the easiest option for less technical users: no app store, no updates to manage. If you want other apps too (YouTube, Netflix), pick an Android TV box. Want the MAG experience on Android? Use STBEmu.
Find your MAG box’s MAC address
The MAC address is printed on the sticker under the box and starts with 00:1A:79. It also appears in the box’s settings or on the start-up screen. Send us exactly what you see, including the colons, so we can activate it.
MAG box troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| “Loading portal” never finishes | Check the portal URL ends with /c/ as sent; check the cable or Wi-Fi |
| Authentication failed | The MAC we activated must match the sticker exactly |
| Picture freezes | Use Ethernet and see the buffering fixes |
| Guide is off by hours | Set your time zone in the box’s System settings |
| Box behaves oddly after a firmware update | Re-enter the portal URL in Settings and restart. Update options are in the Settings menu (names vary by model) |
Moving to a new MAG box
A subscription is tied to the box’s MAC address. If you replace the box, send us the new MAC address and we will move the activation. Want the MAG experience without the hardware? See STBEmu, or compare the options in the IPTV box guide.
MAG box models
MAG boxes are made by Infomir and run a Linux-based portal system. Searches for “mag iptv”, “mag iptv box”, “mag tv box” and “infomir iptv” all point to this family. Common models:
| Model | Notes |
|---|---|
| MAG 250, MAG 254, MAG 256 | Older HD boxes, still widely used; MAG 254 is the most common |
| MAG 322 (and 322w1, with built-in Wi-Fi) | HD with HEVC support; “MAG 322w1” adds Wi-Fi |
| MAG 324, MAG 410, MAG 420 | Newer generations |
| MAG 524, MAG 544 (“MAG box 4K”) | 4K UHD models |
To use a MAG box you enter a portal URL into the box’s settings and give the provider the box’s MAC address, which is printed on the label. Not sure a given model is supported? Ask us before buying. If you are choosing new hardware, a Firestick is usually simpler and cheaper; compare in the IPTV box guide.
Every MAG model, by generation
Infomir (the “IM Infomir” logo on the box) has made MAG set-top boxes for years, and most generations still work with IPTV portals. The model number tells you whether the box is Linux or Android, and whether it does 4K:
| Model | System | Picture | How to connect IPTVMaple |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAG540w3 / MAG544w3 | Linux | 4K, AV1, Wi-Fi | Portal URL + MAC address (steps above) |
| MAG520 / MAG520w3 | Linux | 4K HDR, HEVC; Wi-Fi on the w3 | Portal URL + MAC address |
| MAG524 / MAG524w3 | Linux | 4K HDR, HEVC; dual-band Wi-Fi on the w3 | Portal URL + MAC address |
| MAG424 / MAG424w3 | Linux | 4K, HEVC; Wi-Fi on the w3 | Portal URL + MAC address |
| MAG425A | Android TV (Google certified) | 4K, HEVC, Chromecast built in | Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters from Google Play and log in |
| MAG555 | Google TV | 4K, HEVC and AV1 | Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters from Google Play and log in |
| MAG322 / MAG322w1 / MAG324 | Linux | Full HD | Portal URL + MAC address |
| MAG254 / MAG256 / MAG250 | Linux | HD | Portal URL + MAC address |
The “w” models (w1, w3) are the same box with built-in Wi-Fi. Infomir lists the 520, 524 and 424 families as discontinued, but they are still sold second-hand and work the same way. On the two Android models the portal method does not apply: you use an IPTV app as on any Android TV box.
