Definitely next fire tv cube need and ethernet port with 1gps for sure 😮hope we can see this on fire tv cube 4📺🔥

It didn’t take me long to realise that my cube was much faster via WiFi than Ethernet.

My Ethernet was 96mg whereas my WiFi was 560mb.
That is a big difference.

Nice test. For me, 100Mbps is more than enough for streaming 4K content, since the cube can only play/process one stream at a time. WiFi may be faster, but is less reliable and prone to interference. I see no advantage to spend extra on 1Gbps connectivity.

I always try to hard wire my devices whenever possible and this is one of the reasons I spent the extra for the cube over the sticks. I use a small switch in my AV cabinet to hook up my devices (TV, cube, Onkyo AVR, etc.) and home run it back to my main home switch/router.

I realize this was posted over a year ago, but Id be curious to find out what speed internet you have. Also if your router actually supports 6e? True 6e on a gigabit network should be capable of much better speeds. I bought the second gen firetv 4k max 6e. Specifically because my router supports 6e and I have a multi gig connection. It actually gets nowhere near 6e speeds, and the 5ghz network was just as fast if not faster.

thankyou for the video, I stream my own content with plex and kodi that is very high bitrate and cannot stream smoothly over wifi and and 10/100 lan is slower still, when amazon came out with the new generation cube I was ready to buy it on the spot untill I learned it only had 10/100 ethernet but using a usb adapter in the way you have shown here I should have no issues.

I purchased the cube, I have a Ethernet adapter usb c, can I use a usb c female to usb a male 3.1 adapter or does the adapter have to be usb a 2.0??

Apologies in advance as I am just a ordinary non-tech user of Firesticks. I have the 4K Max Firestick and with wifi connection I am getting 170mbps, I was planning on buying the 3rd gen cube as I assumed it would a) give me a much more consistent mbps (which it would as its wired) and b) a much faster mbps, but that’s not the case??? I that because its max speed is 100mbps? Thanks all

How do you switch between 5 GHz Wi-Fi and 6 GHz Wi-Fi

[yoshimitsu]

The 1gbit Adapter do not Work... max 56mbit/s... what ist the Problem ?

[PeterPaulineHughes]

I have fire TV cube gen 3, I have 250mb internet, and can get this on Wifi, but not stable, on ethernet and can get 96mbps. I tried the 1 Gb usb ethernet adaptor and it went to 36 mbps. any ideas why?
Thanks

[richardvacanti]

How do you switch to 6 gigahertz wi-fi?

[santiagodraco]

100gb ethernet is absurd. Such a let down for anyone doing local streaming with UHD video.

[supersayjangoku]

So How would you Get FAST EITHERNET SPEED.
(But Still have a USB External Storage Port)
as i currently have a Micro SD 258gb Storage Installed in that port.

(But i Also want fast internet)

[WhoDatStrong]

Bought the “current” amazon basic 10/100/1000 1 gig ethernet to 3usb and it doesn’t improve at all. The new one looks a little different maybe they changed the chipset? Someone help me please

[PaceyPimp]

Wow what the heck am i should with a stupid cable plugged in
