Adding Ethernet to Firestick allows for a consistent Internet connection but not necessarily a faster one.
The new Amazon Fire TV Sticks offer strong WiFi chips that work extremely well especially when connected to a quality WiFi 6 router. But, some people need Ethernet on Firestick due to considerable distance from wireless router or they want a consistent connection through Ethernet.
This video shows how to triple your download speeds on a Firestick with the UGREEN Gigabit USB Adapter as compared to the Amazon Ethernet Adapter.
If you need Ethernet on Firestick this video tutorial is for you!

To those saying you don’t need over 100mbps blab la bla bla : this is for us nerds we take extreme pleasure in doing these little tricks to get what we pay for .
Especially when I am streaming from my QNAP Nas I need that steaming speed. Ended up binning my FireStick and getting the AppleTV that instantly streams via the built in ethernet port.
Thanks Troypoint, always great information! ❤️
Thanks Troypoint great review.😊
Great video & info mate 👍👍
Excellent, thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks.
Wonderful trip man, learnt it in one minute.
Great content as always, you too have awesome day.Thank you
Hello! Thank you Troy! Could I use this Ethernet Adapter to upgrade the speeds on my new 3rd Gen FIRE TV CUBE???? Thank you.
For anyone who's firestick won't recognise the ethernet connection. Turn WiFi off / forget it on the firestick and (as silly as it sounds) wiggle the cable where ethernet connection meets the otg cable. This worked for me
Hi, what power supply adapter with the USB c output do you recommend I get to power this USB hub ?
Awesome video TROY. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
308Mbps from a 1GB connection with this method where previous with the official Amazon adaptor it was held at 95Mbps. ~Thanks a lot
Hi Troy, what iptv do you recommend? I have gamma and it buffers alot!
Hello can you please recommend another up tv besides game tv they have been down for a while
Hey Troy, any OTG adapters that have a usb c rather than a usb a. I’m using one for my firestick, I bought a gigabit ethernet adapter but it’s a usb c.
Can i use a wireless mouse to preserve the integrity of the firestick remote device? I have asked many firestick " experts" this question without reply, i guess they require a subscription first
Can't you just directly connect the ugreen to a USB port on the TV and plug in the "power"usb of the firestick to on of the usb slot on the ugreen?
I purchased the single gigabit UGREEN ethernet adapter and tried to use it with an OTG cable to the Firestick but it would not work, the firestick power cord doesn't seem to supply enough power to the single UGREEN adapter to illuminate the lights on the ethernet port (the green light briefly lights up then turns off), but if I plug the UGREEN's USB connector into my computer both the orange & green lights stay on. I see the UGREEN adapter Troy is using here in his video but my question is how does this one differ from the one I purchased? Thanks in advanced for your help!
Hi Troy on another matter. I installed mx and VLC as external players on my firestick 4k max for the beetv and cinema hd app. However both always default to German audio track, even if I change it to English, it automatically reverts to German. Any thoughts on a solution I may implement ?
Maximum speed using any USB adapter is 450Mbps because of USB limitations. Real reason you want a wired connection is because WiFi routers will randomly drop WiFi devices whenever their cache fills up or there's too much chatter because of data loss. WiFi typically loses a third of the data which can create a backlog of data requests
I think Firestick 4K (+ even 4K max) is usb 2.0 protocol. The max theoretical bandwidth of USB 2.0is 480Mbs. So full gigabit is never possible, but 200Mbs+ is excellent and will cope with 4K content w/o buffering issues.
Is there anyway of doing this with a fire cube?
I just got the new 2023 4k max, and just updated to giga internet, why am I limited to 400mbps when I have a faster connection, if I want to stream a 105gb file would it be sufficient enough to not start to buffer
Hey great video i was wondering can i use powerline adapter with the ugreen adapter since my router is far away
Yes, that will work fine.
😁😁😁👍👍👍...cool troy....
II tried it but it wouldnt power the ethernet side. Tried ugreen direct in pc usb port , connected to rj45 cable and it came to life.
Tried different power to OTG adaptor, still nothing. I tried connecting an external usb devive in the usb side to test for power, all ok.
I can't find an OTG DOUBLE in any stores so I tried a USB multi point but it did not work soo frustrating.
I have tried this on my LG TVs. C10 (X) and C3 and for some reason the OTG cable doesn’t show up on the Firestick. If I hard reset it it shows for a split second then it’s gone. Works on my Sony tv but not on LG. Out of ideas lol.
Thanks for the great info! The cable ISP plan I have, asserts "up to 500 Mbps" I'm getting about 90-100 Mbps. Will this method increase my speed? Thanks!
If you're currently using WiFi and you have a way to plug in an Ethernet cable, you will probably see a increase. But, I also want to mention that adding an additional 200 Mbps to your download isn't going to help with anything. As I mention in the video, you only need 20 to stream 4K.
Hi Troy! The tvapp on kodi doesn't work! Are they down?
What do you think about using this method with the 3rd-generation fire cube? Would you like the OTG cable since the cube has a USB 3.0 port?
You could but can't use a VPN and I usually find wifi is faster
@@makavelli187dy Thanks for your comment. I ended up getting the gigabit ethernet connector featured in this video, and I am getting speeds of 450Mbs since I have fiber ethernet at 500Mbs. It works great, and there is no buffering.
I've done this the way you demonstrated, however I get "no signal"
I have it all connected through the UGREEN adapter, but when I go to the Network, I do not see Ethernet or Wired connection. Is it possible that it's the age of my Firestick? Should I remove my wi-fi?
What gen firestick you using?
Hi, Troypoint. Great video, as always. I have gigabit service and added the Ethernet USB adapter. I also run Surfshark on the FireTV 4K Max. The throughput is about 200 Mbps. Turning off Surfshark I get close to 800 Mbps. Prior configuration was WiFi and throughput was about 120 Mbps. Any suggestions for further fine-tuning?
Hello, I wouldn't worry about anymore fine tuning. As I say in my video, all you need is 20 to stream 4K and anything more than that is overkill and won't do anything for you. The only way that the extra speed would help is if you are downloading huge files from the Internet on your streaming device and maybe you are.
Running a VPN drastically reduces speeds bro.. there's nothing you can do
Which set up did you use
Hey Troy. I have done everything here but the speed test is still capped at 100mb. Using a gigabit adapter and a CAT6 cable. Any ideas?
I have the same issue . Bought the exact same pair of adapters , cables for the two same tvs bought at the same time and 2 firesticks bought at the same time . Same settings everything , it’s a complete clone setup . One is giving me 290mbps the other one 97mbps. I am totally clueless .
The link ugreen Ethernet link takes you ugreen c hub adapter you might want to change this .
Hi Troy, thanks for the video. I just received the green adapter.... After adding an otg 3 way, I got it to work. I'm getting 200+ mps now, which is great! But what about powering the ugreen adapter? Mine has a USB c port for power (in only) So, initially I powered the ugreen stick with a regular power brick and usb c cable... And used a simple adapter (USB a to micro)... This didn't work at all, Black screen. Can you tell me why that is? Thanks again.
Hi, the Ugreen adapter from the video doesn't need no extra power, just plug and play.
some adapters wil just power on when connected Without a seperate power supply... depends on the power available from the firestick adapter....if it doesnt boot , has black screen or boots but no internet, chances are the gigabit adapter is drawing too much power and will need a seperate supply
I can't seem to hard wire my Android 13 Transpe.ed TV stick to my router.
The wired part is ok, but in the device settings, i get the message that the ethernet isnt connected
HELP !!
Was wondering if anyone has looked into using a Firestick hooked up to a wireless HDMI transmitter. If WiFi strength is marginal due to a distant router location, a Firestick with an attached wireless hdmi transmitter can be located closer (or directly wired per your video) to the router, so as to vastly improve wifi strength.
I don't think it will make any difference as far as streaming goes because we are talking about different types of data transfer.. Audio/Visual/ Internet data packets
.
All a wireless HDMI adapter would do would eliminate the need for the HDMI connection.
Can you please tell me the correct model number of the Ugreen adaptor your link takes me to a usb-c version on Amazon uk.
Hello, this is the exact title of the one I'm using in this video. UGREEN USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter, 5 in 1 Multiport Hub with Gigabit RJ45 and Type-C Power Port, LAN Network Adapter Compatible with Laptop PC MacBook Mac Mini Surface XPS Windows Linux MacOS
Yes, some report that the wifi 6 firestick gets better speeds with wifi rather than Ethernet, but can i use the usb hub to plug in a flash drive and wireless mouse without connecting the Ethernet cable ?
Yes
Is it true that 4k shows etc. don't even use >30mbps, but Atmos Audio makes streaming files large (90GB), so would need hardwired internet to stream Atmos?
Hi there, for technical support see our Insider - troypointinsider.com/
Not sure about shows but youtube uses about 25mbps with its 4k 60fps streams and probably almost 30mbps with hdr on...these are 5.1 audio /4k video streams
This device will work on Android boxes as well? I never get more than 100mbps
Yes it should. You don't get more than 100 as you are using standard Ethernet and not Gigabit.
need info on Y-cable splitter
I'd suggest asking this in our Insider - troypointinsider.com/
Why is my speed test (59Mbps DL and 75Mbps UL) so low while connected to IP Vanish using this Ethernet option? If I disconnect IP Vanish my speeds are 304Mbps DL and 291Mbps UL.
Thank you
All VPNs will reduce speed. Shouldn't be that much though. Try changing server you are connecting to in IPV. Also, 60 Mbps will still stream 4K content. Actually anything higher isn't going to help you with anything and it's overkill.
unfortunately the UGREEN adapter you link to in your video has been changed, this links to one without an RJ45 port, could you please update pointing to the right one. Sorry but i bought the wrong one from Amazon by following the link, and realised I may not be the only one. thanks.
Hello, you must have clicked a link somewhere else. Here is the one I'm linking to and it has RJ45. amzn.to/48ti112
@@troypoint I think your link only works in North America. Here in the UK it points to "UGREEN Revodok USB C Hub Multiport Adapter, 6-in-1 USB C to HDMI Adapter with 4K HDMI, 3 5Gbps USB-A Data Ports, SD/TF Card Slot, Aluminum USB C Dongle for MacBook, iPhone 15 Pro Series, Surface, iPad"
Hi Troy! Iptv simple client boots me out of kodi when it updates on startup!
Help with streaming - troypointinsider.com
Any idea why I'm getting barely more than 300Mbps? Could it be the OTG?
Probably has to due with your connection and Internet package from ISP
Does the Triple OTG cable come with the adapter
Hi, you need to buy both the OTG and the Ethernet adapter.
@@Raffgon ok
Ty
Correct!
Is this test with the VPN active?
No it is not.
@@troypoint Without VPN I get 500+ Mb/sec with Wi-Fi (not 6)
With VPN I get 86+ Mb/sec
All VPNs decrease speed and it's especially noticeable on streaming devices with lower CPU power. You won't see this much decrease on PC with better processor. 86 is still more than enough even to stream 8K. As I say in the video, higher download speed isn't going to help you stream better. If you are downloading media then yes, it will be faster but 86 Mbps will provide more than you will ever need.
@@troypoint I can download a movie from MX player with videoder in 2 mins.. sometimes even less.
Otg cable not available already
Hello, do a search on Amazon as there are numerous vendors that sell them.
My fire stick dont detect the ethernet cable i use cat6 cables i have att fiber
me too, tried with powered usb hub, still doesnt recognise ethernet connected
Hi there, I'd suggest asking that question in our Insider and see if others have the same issue - troypointinsider.com/
Fire tv
I keep it simple don't like too much wires but his the IPTV leader Who HELP me mastered it
firestick storage full all of a sudden even with external storage. Firestick 4K max
Followed Tutorial…When checking “network” … do not get Ethernet Connected… And then check internet speed…still Low numbers…What is possible problem…Help !!
me too, tried with powered usb hub, still doesnt recognise ethernet connected
Hi there, I'd suggest asking that question in our Insider and see if others have the same issue - troypointinsider.com/
This won't work on a firecube correct? Thanks.
Hello, it should work just fine. You can plug an OTG cable into a Fire TV Cube as well.
@@troypoint I tried it and it doesn't work. Perhaps it's the USB Ethernet adapter? I also tried it on a Tivo 4k stream and it didn't work. I didn't know there could be differences in adapters.
@@MSUFan78 I have two identical Firecubes with the same firmware. One works perfectly, as described; the other fails to recognise the ethernet connection, whatever I do ...
The first now no longer recognises the ethernet connection either and reverts to wifi, whatever I do. I can't find any info on the internet to help me put things right ( both second-gen. Firecubes).
SOLVED! Both Firecubes recognise the Amazon ethernet adapter, so I connected this up and then interrupted the connection by quietly switching adapters. The result: both Firecubes now recognise the uGreen adapter and show a much-improved download speed.
He talks about wifi6 as better. Yes it is on home application
But in a business environment too much wifi traffic. Results in data collisions and congestion. Go wired
And that's what this is, a home setup. LOL. This is nothing but spam.
I have a new TP-Link Wifi 6E-6Ghz router and my fire stick max internet speed is 434mbps , My Hisense google tv and my phone wifi-5ghz speeds are 636Mbps, so wifi is faster than ethernet adapter in devices that limit you to 100mbps. Only PC/Laptop with a 1000mbps ethernet port or adapter can get to 900mbps + . So just buy a new TP Link Wifi 6 router with external antenas or Mesh Wifi.
Thanks for the comment!
No way wifi 6 where I live
WiFi 6 is on the router, it has nothing to do with your Internet Service Provider. Maybe you are referring to Gigabit Internet availability.
My cable company does not wifi .6
@troypoint my cable company does not have wifi 6 yet
