Sony A90K OLED Gigabit LAN (USB 3.0)
I bought this for my Sony 48 A90K OLED TV to upgrade from the 100mbps onboard ethernet port. I can confirm that this cable matters USB 3.O gigabit adapter works perfectly with the Sony A90K and does give gigabit speed if your broadband supports it. Just ensure that you disable wi-fi in the settings so that auto play works to enable the adapter.To take advantage of upto gigabit speed you need to connect the to the usb 3.0 port on the TV. For Sony a90k owners the usb 3.0 port is located on the bottom next to HDMI 2 and labelled for HDD. If you connect to a USB 2.0 port, the adapter will still work, but the maximum speed will drop from around 940mbps to around 400mbps due to usb 2.0 limitations.Being able to use more broadband speed on my TV has made 4k content noticeably more stable and so far I haven’t had the resolution drop lower like it used to when using the in-built 100mbps port, and yes I’m aware that Netflix 4k barely goes over 20mbps so 100 should be easily enough. But I can confirm that in my case, that 4k streaming is more stable.Overall, if you’re looking for a USB 3.0 to gigabit LAN adapter for a Sony A90K, this is the perfect choice. The price is great, the build quality is top notch, plus it just works 🙂

Good product, does not work on Hisense A7K TV
I bought this item in an attempt to increase the speed of connection into my smart TV. Unfortunately it did not work. I don’t see any failure being attributed to the product or company at all it was a risk I was willing to take. It is most likely a TV USB issue or perhaps a driver one. However I have now used the product to connect my laptop to my router if I need a reliable fast connection. The product feels robust. It does not feel like it is ready to fall apart. Very simple to use and have seen the speed increase as it states with listing. I have a 900mb/s connection and with USB 3.0, running a speedtest I obtained 938 mb/sI would recommend this product for laptops and for games consoles.For the price, it is worth trying if you want to try on smart TV but like me be prepared for it not to work.

Works on LG OLED CX5LB
Works great with my LG OLED CX5LB.Remember you need to disable WiFi first and also make sure that there is nothing plugged into the Ethernet cable socket on the TV before you connect this thing to the USB input.TV will think itâs offline, but all apps (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube etc) will work fine. I plugged mine into the USB-2 slot and so far so good. Speed check went from 89mbps on original LAN up to 395mbps with the LAN-USB connection.

Works a treat!
Worked straight out of the box.Wanted to boost the native speeds on my TV and it did just that. Significantly. Yes you wont get the full whack gigabit down speed but its a massive improvement from the original speed you are getting from a wired connection.I suppose this will help with 4k viewing and. Streaming shouldnât stutter or lagg now.Good little purchase.

Doesn’t work on older Sony Android 9.0 based Smart TV’s.
This is a good product. It’s cheap, plug n’ play and works as advertised, such as on a PC/Laptop. However, for my own personal use case, it was a waste of money. Why?I tried it on my 2017 Sony Bravia KD-43XE8077 smart television which has a USB 3.0 port (NB: USB 3.0 is required for 1Gb speeds), however, like all smart TV’s, it only has 10/100 ethernet.Potentially then, this USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter was an ideal solution to get 1Gb ethernet on my TV.To my disappointment, it didn’t work, although the LED lights turned on and flashed. NB: Activating ‘developer mode’ in the television’s settings and activating USB to ethernet didn’t work either.After much research on forums, it turns out my television is Android 9.0 based but if you have a Sony TV, it must be at least Android 10 based for this ethernet adapter- which means a Sony TV from 2021 onwards.Lesson learned.

Perfect Drone Footage on a 4K LG OLED
Chuffed!I have a DJI drone capable of recording lovely 4K video footage and a Synology NAS to store the big video files. But playback has always been a problem. It plays ok on my PC, but playback on my big 55″ LG OLED (B8) tv was always jerky. This was particularly upsetting because I had taken the trouble to run Ethernet cables to my PCs and both living room and bedroom TVs on the assumption that this would avoid the poor performance or interference that WiFi is notorious for.At first I thought the tv just couldn’t hack the bitrate (160mbit), but then I did some research and learned that the built-in Ethernet socket at the back of the TV is only 10/100base-T (i.e. max 100mbit/s). This strikes me as crazy on an expensive tv! Anyway I did more research and read some success reports from people using a Cable Matters USB/Ethernet adapter. I didn’t really believe it: I had already tried another make of USB/Ethernet adapter and it wasn’t recognized by the tv.But, the Cable Matters adapter is only 15 quid so I gave it a try and, good golly it works!Or it least it worked after I fixed one last gotcha. I use Emby Server to stream the video, and it was still trying to transcode my 4K footage and my NAS couldn’t keep up, so at first the jerkiness was still there. I disabled transcoding in Emby and presto: full speed playback!Mega chuffed!

Boosted my tvs internet speed Lg

La verdad es que hace su función, pero por lo visto no con todas las TV, en mi caso funciona a la perfección. Yo veo muchas pelÃculas y series a través de plex, y antes con el Wi-Fi o con el cable directamente a la toma de Ethernet de la televisión tenÃa cortes siempre, fue instalar este adaptador USB y la estabilidad y la velocidad cambiaron radicalmente. Yo tengo una TCL y no he tenido ningún problema, sin embargo, mi vecino tiene una televisión LG. Se compró el mismo adaptador que yo y a él no le funciona, aseguraos de que es compatible con vuestra televisión.

Just wanted to confirm for others that this adapter model 202013-BLK works flawlessly with my Hisense 85″ U8N. Super easy installation too. All I did was turn off the WiFi, then plugged in the adapter into the USB 3.0 port (this tv also has another USB 2.0 port), and then plugged in the ethernet cable and it instantly started working! Before I tried this one, I tried the Amazon Basics Aluminum ethernet adapter and it did not work in my Hisense U8N or my Amazon Fire TV Omni Series, but thus Cable Matters Adapter model 202013-BLK works great and hardly costs anything. Build quality seems just fine. I would definitely buy another one if a need for a second one arises.

Funktioniert mit einem LG OLED C2. Internet Verbindung war mit dem LAN Kabel bei 88 Mbps und jetzt mit diesem Adapter ist auf 195 Mbps gestiegen. Sehr gut, bis jetzt sehr zufrieden!!!
