MAG Box IPTV Setup: Portal and MAC Address Guide
A MAG box is built for one job, and it does it well. Instead of installing an app, MAG box IPTV setup works through a portal: we register your box’s MAC address, you type in one web address, and live TV appears.
MAG boxes, made by Infomir, are simple, reliable and popular with people who want a remote that does nothing but TV.

How to Set Up MAG Box IPTV
Registration happens on our side, so the first step is a quick message.
- Turn the box over and find the MAC address on the sticker. It usually starts with 00:1A:79. Send a photo of it to us on WhatsApp.
- We register your box and reply with your portal address.
- On the box, open Settings > Servers > Portals. On some models this sits under System settings.
- Type a name such as Plex IPTV in Portal 1 name, and the address we sent in Portal 1 URL. Save.
- Restart the box from the settings menu. The portal loads with live TV and the program guide.
Which MAG Box Models Work?
Current models like the MAG 524, 540 and 544 handle HD and 4K well and run a modern version of the portal. Older boxes such as the MAG 250, 254 and 256 still work for HD, though they can be slower to load the guide.
Any MAG box with a working network connection can use a portal. If yours is very old and struggles, it may be time for a newer model or a Formuler box.
Wired Is Best for a MAG Box
MAG boxes are designed for a cable connection. Most have an ethernet port on the back, and Wi-Fi on many models needs an extra adapter. Plug the box straight into your router or use a powerline adapter to bring the network to your TV room.
Fixing Common MAG Box Errors
“STB is blocked” or “not authorized”
The MAC address has not been registered or was typed differently. Send us the sticker photo again and we will check.
Stuck on “Loading portal”
Check the network cable and that the portal address has no extra spaces. Restart the box and the router.
The clock or guide times look wrong
Set your time zone under Settings > System settings > Time settings, then restart.
