I did experiment with different power supply 2.4 and 3.0 Amp, but ABLEWE sometimes is not connecting, no matter what power supply is. Need reboot and then is working again. Off course if have the WiFi on you will not notice until you need timeshift or recording. Is most happening after few hours sleep mode.
Once again not a big deal, just observation. I think Bewinner could be the winner 
. Already tried all scenarios I can think of and is working just fine. We will see after few days...
After more than 24 hours usage, I can confirm that everything is working. Connection is stable, after 8 hours sleep mode resume, after reboot resume. I could not find any problem. I am using the original power adapter from Formuler, but is working also with 2.4 and 3.0 Amp adapter.
Bewinner USB C to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter, 3 in 1 (Type C+USB+PD) 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Windows/Android/OS X
I’ve got it from here:
I guess this is exact the same, but different price:
And finally this one is probably the same under the brand name Annadue:
Just a small update on the Bewinner USB C to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter, 3 in 1
I have zero issues . My Wi-Fi is off. Ethernet and usb stick are always present. Using the original power adapter which comes with the Z Mini.
Is almost a week now and I don’t expect any problems.
Please check also on PC/Laptop the version of the chip. I am almost certain that Z Mini works well with RTL8153B-VB-CG, as this is single chip solution for both ethernet and USB. Sometimes manufactures uses whatever is available and then becomes problems with the drivers which are into the kernel of the Z mini. I hope that with Bewinner is consistent .
Glad to hear that everything is working. In fact there are 2 USB ports for Data USB A and USB C.
Just plugged 256 GB USB C pen Drive and is working together with the USB A 32 GB USB stick .
I was testing with this one, but there are plenty of other USB C flash discs

any link to buy one of these in the USA?
I am speculating now, but maybe you can try this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chenyang-CY…apter/799522126
Or:
It looks exactly the same, but I can't guarantee that inside is the same, as the tested one.
Off course I hope you can send it back if not satisfied
I got this one:
After 1 week, everything looks to be working well.
I use similar as I_D
No Ethernet but not needed.
Outstanding and compact. Looks super smart for clean and tidy Z Mini look.
I also use mini usb drive which isn’t shown in the pic but you get the idea
adrilang does time shift work for you?
I only have the mini for one week, but I really love it. The only thing that doesn't work is time shift.
I am running a similar setup like yours
Normal recording works well and I tried everything I read here to solve it, but without luck.

Works OK for me.
Within DVR Options in MTOL3, have you toggled on Timeshift?
Yes, I have enabled it multiple times , but it doesn't work. I first thought it was an error with the USB drive (SanDisk 32GB / NTFS) but since the normal recording works fine, I don't know what it could be.

Share an image of your current settings in the DVR menu please
175n here are my settings. I really tried everything. Formatted the drive several times with Rufus, activate and deactivate, but only normal recording works .
The funny thing is, when I remove the USB stick and press the right arrow button, a message pop's up with a warning that no USB memory is installed. But as soon as I insert the stick again, nothing happens when I press the same key.

The only way it works for me is if I format the USB on the Z mini in the settings. If I format on my windows pc with rufus it does not work. YMMV but it is consistent that most friends are getting a z mini over a z11 pro now.
downing3033 Many thanks for the tip! I formatted the drive within settings and all works fine. 😃
