**Step 1**: Power on your MAG box and press *Menu* > *Settings* > *System Settings* > *Internet* > *Wi-Fi* (or Ethernet).
**Step 2**: Select your network, enter password, and confirm connection (green LED = ready).
**Step 3**: Press *Menu* > *Media* > *Portal Setup* > *Add New Portal* > Enter:
– Portal Name: `ShadowStream_F1`
– Server URL: `https://shadowstream.org/f1/portal.xml`

**Step 4**: Save, exit to *Media*, and open `ShadowStream_F1` portal.

Your stream will auto-correct to 1080p60 and begin buffering only if signal drops below 8 Mbps—your MAG box supports 25 Mbps sustained throughput, so this won’t happen.
