To use an Internet browser on Android on a TV you either need a Wireless Air Mouse remote or Wireless Keyboard & Trackpad combo. An Infra Red Remote control will not be usable with a browser.
Any "Fully Loaded" Amazon Pirate Kodi devices will receive no Kodi forum support when you come here looking for help with the inevitable problems that will pop up.
AirPlay & Miracast will be unreliable or not work at all. AirPlay needs Apple Hardware to work properly.
If you are in the USA, seriously just get a $69 Xiaomi Mi Box running the very easy to use, remote friendly, officially licensed, Android TV OS for your Father. All that cheap Android junk on Amazon will be a Real PITA to use. Your Father will hate it.
Then download / sideload a Browser for the Mi Box and get a mini Bluetooth or Wireless Trackpad / Keyboard combo to use with a browser.

Does anyone have any serious experiences with the i3/i5/i7 NUCs that are sold at Aliexpress? I was thinking about upgrading my Asus Chromebox at some point and I need a dual boot system of Kodi and Win10. A powerful i* might do the trick.
