Customers say
Customers find the Ethernet adapter works well with Fire TV 4K sticks, is easy to set up and use, and offers great value for money. Moreover, the adapter effectively eliminates buffering issues, and one customer notes it works flawlessly with their Amazon Show 2nd gen device. However, speed performance receives mixed feedback – while some report super fast ethernet connection, others mention network speed leaves something to be desired.

Superb! Super speed capability
Fantastic product. I had bought the genuine Amazon Firestick LAN adapter which was fine, but limited to 100mbps. This allows me approx 350 mbps. Connector fits are perfect, length and size is perfect. Very good product, very much recommended

Great addition to my Chromecast gen 1 for very little money. A bargain really.
This Ethernet adapter works flawlessly with my Chromecast gen 1, which I have used via WiFi for the past 3½ years or so. On WiFi, overall the Chromecast was pretty good, but occasionally I’d get drop-outs or degradation in picture quality due to bandwidth reduction, so I thought for £13.99 I’d give this little gizmo a try. I have it connected to Ethernet via a 10/100 network switch connected to a home-plug which gives me around 80Mb/s, which is plenty for video streaming.The Ethernet adapter really was plug-and-play, and I was able to power the Chromecast via the adapter from one of my TV’s USB ports, as I had done with the Chromecast on its own previously. I connected everything all up and it seemed to be working, but none of my Android devices could “see” the Chromecast to cast to it. I decided to do a factory reset on the Chromecast (more by luck than judgement) and once that was done and it was added to my Google Home account, it was available for casting.The only other slight oddity is that after powering on the TV (and thus the Chromecast), the first Android device (e.g. my phone) on which I load Google Home and try to “see” the Chromecast says it’s not available. But then if I load Google Home on a second Android device (my tablet that I use for streaming), the Chromecast is available for casting. As long as I follow this approach, it’s all good. Both my phone and tablet are running stock Android 10. I do have an older phone that runs Android 7, so maybe it’s version-specific, so may give it a try on that to see. But otherwise, the adapter has worked flawlessly – I no longer get any buffering or any picture degradation, so clearly the adapter is delivering solid, reliable bandwidth for video streaming at 1080p quality – all the services I use: BT/BTSport, Sky Sports via the Now TV app, NetFlix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ work flawlessly with exceptional picture quality. I have had a couple of drop-outs but I think that’s the Chromecast itself rather than the adapter. After a quick reconnect, everything is all good again.So, all-in-all, a cracking little piece of kit for not much money that does what it says on the box, plain and simple.

It breaks the 100mb barrier!
Okay so I purchased two of these; one for a 4k Max Stick and another for a First Generation Fire cubeFire 4k Max StickIt took the 4k Max from 92mb hardwired to 300mb which speaks for itselfThe only issue I encountered was powering the stick from a usb 2.0 source caused the Fire Stick to keep rebooting (I believe another post here complained about this causing reboot); power the adapter from a powered usb 3.0 hub solved this issue and works flawlesslyFire CubeTook the Cube from 90mb hardwired to 200mb which is another achievementOne thing to note is the adapter doesnât require separate usb power because the Cube is powered separately by its own power sourceMy only complaint and the reason why it has four stars not five is; you cannot plug in and other devices with the adapter! For example a usb hub or a Xbox 360 wireless adapter that works with the Fire Cube and Steam Link for retro gaming with some 360 controllers, even a micro usb adapter that has both USB 2.0 and Micro USB doesnât work as it doesnât allow the network adapter to be seenTo be clear; for steam link to run at maximum settings stable, above 100mb network link is needed which is not possible with the standard amazon adapter and wireless can be hit or miss with stability issues hence hardwired is the best option and above 100mb connection is neededAs for the controller; a Bluetooth controller will lose vibration when connected to the cube via Bluetooth so hardwired to the usb port is needed or the Xbox 360 wireless adapter because it retains the vibration wirelesslyUse the Fire device wireless; which would allow a otg hub which then makes this network adapter pointless or a Bluetooth controller which then removes the retro feel from the experience! This is my only disappointmentEdit/UpdateI have managed to solve my issue of having best of both worlds when it comes to a fast network adapter and Xbox 360 ControllersTo do this you have to purchase two additional itemsFirst item is a âUSB Flash Drive Adapter for USB A Male to Micro USB Female Connector (1 Count) OTG ConverterâSecond item is a âMicro USB Ethernet Adapter with USB OTG Hub Compatible with TV StickâYou have to plug Ethernet cable into the cable matters network adapter; then into the USB Converter and then plug that into the OTG Hub adapter and then the hub into the fire cube in case; then you can plug the Xbox 360 wireless adapter into the hub as wellOther than this the Network adapter is great addition

Amazing Adapter for 4KFirestick
I purchased this adapter and a Cat 6 ethernet cable to link up to my 4KFirestick for the purpose of streaming. Easy installation. My internet speed is capped at 125mbps. (I have no choice with my current provider it the only one in my area due to it being a new build area). Ordinarily without the adapter I was only getting a speed of 70mbps on streaming! sometimes less as well as buffering/lagging. This adapter is amazing I’m getting no buffering or lagging using the adapter an the ethernet cable. I’m getting 120mbps on streaming . I did purchase The Amazon Adapter which is capped at 100mbps and I tried it and sent it back it was only giving me a speed of 70mbps on streaming with buffering/lagging . Happy Days took me ages to research this one. Sellers communication was brilliant. I would highly reccomend this product if you are streaming and getting slow speeds and buffering/lagging. 5 stars from me. Love It!

Real improvement over WiFi
I have 900mb up & down at the routerThe point where this is connected is getting about 700mb, but definitely an improvement over the 90mb max over WiFi.

Excellent for Firestick 4k Max
Using with Firestick 4k max and getting 336mbps. Amazon version was 75mbps, same price. I have had previous cables from this maker. They’ve been top notch quality wise. Absolutely recommended, a great product.

Ich habe den Adapter gekauft, weil der Standard Amazon Adapter nur 100 MBit/s gemacht hat. Das WLAN war leider mit 5GHz am FireTV Stick zu langsam im Homenetzwerk. Fritz Repeater befindet am Gigabit-Lan angeschlossen 30cm neben dem FireTV Stick.Ich nutze meinen Amazon FireTV 4K Max an meinem Samsung QN95B NeoQLED TV in Kombination mit einem XBox Wirless Controller (gekoppelt via Bluetooth) und der App Moonlight um die diverse Games (Cyberpunk) etc. von der oberen Etage via Gigabit LAN auf meinen TV in der unteren Etage zu streamen um gemütlich vom Sofa aus zu zocken, während der PC via Sunshine die Games bereitstellt und über die Kombination Moonlight + Sunshine die Controller-Eingaben auf dem PC ankommen.Wozu für Cloud-Gaming bezahlen, wenn man den Gaming PC im Haus hat.Ich hatte via WLAN sehr oft Delays und FPS-Einbrüche und der 100 Mbit/ Controller war auch nicht immer optimal beim 2K Gaming. Mit diesem Controller ist alles perfekt. Würde ich wieder kaufen!

Fire stick a 350 mbps, addio agli 80 mbps con quello originale.

Vandaag bezorgd, en in 10 minuten meteen aangesloten. Kwestie van inpluggen en hij doet het meteen. Geen gepruts met Google Home of opnieuw instellen. Beeldkwaliteit is merkbaar verbeterd en tot nu toe geen problemen meer met buffering of stotterende verbinding. Aanrader!
