Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Streaming Sticks, Fire TV (2nd Gen, 4K), USB 100Mbps Speed, Micro USB Power OTG Cable - Wired Connection (Not for Roku)

Works Great

I bought two of these for both my Amazon Fire Stick 4ks. It was very simple to set up, just plug in the provided cable between the USB Power Cord and teh Stick. Then, plug in an Ethernet cable. This immediately took affect. I restarted the Fire Stick, and checked the network settings, sure enough it was running over Ethernet. I set the network settings to static settings (IP, Netmask, Router and both DNS). One thing I noticed was load speed increased. Another thing I noticed was improve picture and sound quality. While this worked well over WiFi, it works much better over Ethernet. This is a very affordable option than buying a stand alone streaming box. Finally, I am surprised this works as well as it does.

Been having signal strength problems the past few weeks on my Fire Stick. Searched Amazon for a hard wire connection, and was surprised to find there are quite a few out there. This one is recommended by Amazon, so I went for it. Price is extremely reasonable. Took about a minute literally to install. No more signal problems. No buffering. Apps and shows/movies start right up. Much crisper picture. Even if you do not appear to have WiFi signal problems, I would recommend getting this anyway. WiFi signals can vary from time to time, even while watching a show/movie. This keeps it all consistent.

I plugged this in and it does work. I have been having problems with out internet the last few days. So it may not be a great review for this product. Most channels work. Some still freeze. But again our internet has been crashing so I can't blame it on the ethernet adapter. I can say that the channels I stream are a lot clearer. I don't regret buying it. That says a lot.

Pretty easy to connect and eventually it does work well but before it does, you will go through a nice dance of restarting your Fire Stick and the connection being disconnected and then reconnecting itself. This may take a few minutes or it may never stop. You could think everything is ok and you're watching a show and all of a sudden dropped connection. I don't get but that's how it is. When it works, it works but good luck trying to get it to work consistently.

I was stunned by how easy it is to install this device on a Firestick 4k. I already use an OTG cable for additional memory and a keyboard. Another ethernet adapter I bought took a very long time to set up and never worked very well. I just plugged this one into my OTG, powered up the Firestick and by the time I got to the network settings screen, the adapter was already configured and working great. Buffering is now a much smaller problem for me. Now, if I could only find one with a USB 3.0 interface.

We had Fire TV Sticks and "whole house wifi" with up to 1GIG for streaming, but we were still getting "freezing" pics, plus "pixilating" of the picture on a daily basis on two of our tv's. We bought a couple of these Ethernet Adapters for Streaming Media Sticks and VOILA....no more problems. We just hooked them up with some cat6 cable running from our router to the Kindle Fire Sticks and plugged in the sticks as usual. Can enjoy streaming on every one of our tv's in our house now, including the one out back by the hot tub!

This device connects to my Firestick and Ethernet directly so Wi-Fi is no longer being used, just the direct Ethernet connection causing streaming to be must quicker and more stable. I have 2 of these for 2 Firestick 4k's. Hooked them up about 13 months ago and they work perfectly. Installs in minutes.
