Amazon Ethernet Adaptor for Fire TV

Product Information

With that hub, you can connect an external USB flash drive full of files accessed on a Fire TV device. Soon as I take the ethernet cable out of the TV the ethernet light on powerline plug goes out and doesn't come back on when plugged into the adapter? Connect the male USB to the wall charger and the male micro-USB to the female micro-USB on the accessory. Between your original internet speed, your Ethernet cable speed, and the adapter speed, you’ll receive, at best, the lowest of the three.

If your home network has more advanced security, there is a possibility that you may need to configure the internet settings manually.This is a great bit of kit, and really good value for someone in my position, but it needs to be able to last longer than a month. Yet most of the adapters on this list only support 10/100 Ethernet, meaning that they deliver 10Mbps upload speeds and 100Mbps download speeds — although you'll only need to care about download speeds for streaming. There’s a lot going on in there because I’ve had to use every streaming option there is over the years. I opt for hard-wiring (however it happens to need to get working) for stationary devices, and portable is almost always Wifi.

For the ethernet use case, cat5e is "good" for 10/100/1000mbps ethernet for (at least) distances up to 100m - more if you are lucky - unless you do a spectacularly bad job of installing it - poor termination is the biggest culprit. Not only does it add an Ethernet port to your USB-C Chromecast with Google TV, but it also brings four additional ports to the table.

The really high cats are meant for use cases such as hooking up kit in data centers, such as 40Gig connects in the SANs/server/router farms, not SOHO or "desktop" drops in offices etc. Wiring the Fire Stick via an ethernet cable may improve the connection if the videos you're streaming are stuttering or buffering too often. The best way to guarantee network quality for your 4K Ultra HD streaming is by connecting to a wired Ethernet network. I would still go for the CAT5e cable as per what the others have said and it’s a lot more flexible, which is far more important when trying to run the cable at home.

However one thing worth doing a phone is run WiFi Analyzer and see if you getting any WiFi channel clash. Note: If the Ethernet adapter comes with an accessory (like the TV xStream adapter), you’ll need the male USB to male micro-USB cable that came with your FireStick.

On the other hand, no one can intercept the wireless connection to your FireStick if it doesn’t exist.
