Matricom sells this stick called omnistick https://matricom.net/omnistick-linux-kodi-mini-pc/ which I've been using for the past week. Works pretty good (not for 4k stuff though) but it is super cheap. Works great for Kodi and youtube using the youtube plugin if that's all you're looking for in a box I recommend it. You could always get any cheap box really and load it with Libreelec too.

Whilst that might work fine in your house, and it will have a well sorted version of LibreELEC Kodi running on it - users need be aware it's 2.4GHz WiFi only.

2.4GHz WiFi in this modern era is easily subject to Radio Freq. interference from all sorts of Radio Freq. generating sources.

You really need dual band 2.4/5GHz WiFi for streaming stability.

Devices like the flexible 4GB RAM Mecool KM3 / KM9 pro can dual boot Android TV Pie / CoreELEC and have decent dual band 2.4/5GHz AC WiFi. 

Agreed. Yeah it's only 2.4ghz wifi but it does work surprisingly well. The Mecool MK3 is a MUCH more powerful device and the dual wifi is great if the router is closer. I noticed that the 2.4ghz wifi has a better distance than 5ghz, at least for me. My router is on the first floor and 5ghz works great on the 1st and 2nd floor but any device I use on my 3rd floor bedroom won't connect to the 5ghz, but all of the boxes will connect to 2.4ghz. Haven't had any problems streaming but I can imagine interference could be an issue at some point. My neighborhood has like 100 routers to choose from lol. What's your recommended go-to device at this point?
