Ethernet Adapter for fire Stick TV Cube, Google Chromecast Ultra, Tivo Stream 4K - Micro USB OTG Hub with Power Cable

I did not expect this product as easy to setup as it was. As a matter of fact, there is no setup required (at least for the Fire Stick). I simply unplugged the power cord going to the Fire Stick and replaced it with this Ethernet adapter, and then plugged the USB end into the factory Fire Stick charging adapter. When I turned on the television and went to Settings > Network, it showed that it was connected via Ethernet and a network test passed successfully and showed a speed of 98 MB/s.I was having some issues with buffering Netflix movies over Wifi, mainly because the Fire Stick is upstairs and my wireless router is downstairs - and because my Wifi is used regularly by the wife's Echo, my work laptops, etc. Using 5G on the router helped quite a bit but because my router does not have external antennas, its connection can still be somewhat unreliable. In any case, this Ethernet adapter remedied those issues. All apps on the Fire Stick load immediately and there are no buffering issues any more. Moreover, I chose this adapter because it has additional USB ports that allow one to listen to music, view pictures and watch movies put on a USB drive which is extremely convenient.Additionally, I have read a few posts that stated one must enable USB Debugging first for this to work, but I can say that I did absolute nothing in the Fire Stick's settings to get this to work - I simply plugged it in. I did not have to disable wireless or anything. Conclusively, usually things like that that say they are plug-and-play are never truly plug-and-play and require fiddling in the hardware settings to get working properly. In the case of this Ethernet adapter, it truly is just plug-and-play.

I have been pleasantly amazed by this little device. It does exactly what it says, in a manner that is amazingly easy to apply.It works on my laptops, desktops, tablets (android), cell phones (android, have not tested apple yet), and streaming media players (Amazon fire, fire HD, etc).It even worked to allow me to connect my cell phone to my pc via wired connection, then enable network sharing, thus my pc used my cell phones 5G internet. While the network tool could be powered by me cell phone adequately, I opted to plug in the adapter using a standard cell phone 5v power, and it even charged my phone while in use. On a side note, this is a mini-USB adapter and in order to use it with my cell phone, I had to get a micro-USB to USB-C adapter.It acts as not just a wired network adapter, but also a USB repeater allowing you to plug in further card readers, flash media, keyboards, mice, etc. The only limit is whether the device you are plugging in has drivers that can be used on the tablet, pc, cell phone, etc, and whether the device plugged in consumes more power than the adapter you are using to power this thing. I used it with a 5v 2amp adapter (10 watts) just fine with all my devices.I love this device so much I have purchased 3 more and have directly wired all my media streaming devices. No more wifi lags or interference at all.

I bought this OTG (On-The-Go) hub for my Fire TV 4K device so that I can use Ethernet internet connection for it. I was having issues with wireless connection and the Fire TV Stick 4K, despite Fire TV being almost next to the wireless router. Fire TV would show "Home screen not available" often and would have to be rebooted. After using this OTG Hub I haven't seen any connectivity issues.The Hub measures at: 3.74 x 0.94 x 0.59 in and has three USB ports, one Ethernet port, and one power port for connecting the power adapter. One end of the hub contains small micro USB cable that needs to be connected to the device. The Hub also has LEDs inside the body which light up when ethernet cable is plugged in.THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BUYING THIS HUB1. Though I am happy with this product and this hub has been working fine so far, the build quality of the device doesn't seem to be really sturdy. The micro-USB cable was attached at an weird angle to the Hub and doesn't really show a fine craftsmanship on this product.2. I really wish that the power cable and the micro-USB cable attached to the hub were longer so that the hub can be placed conveniently.3. Since this is a OTG hub, the USB ports are USB 2.0 only and the Ethernet data transfer rates would be limited to 10/100M. This has caused no problems for me so far while watching the streaming videos on the Fire TV.4. You would need your own ethernet cable (in case you want to use the ethernet connection) and a USB power adapter, though USB power cable is provided with this hub.SETUPSetup for this Hub was relatively straightforward with only three connections needed.1. Power: This hub came with a USB power cable but you would need a USB power adapter. One end of the cable is the coaxial power connector that goes plugs int the Hub. The other end of the cable is normal USB connector that goes into a USB power adapter.2. Micro USB: On one end of the hub there is a micro USB cable that connects to the micro USB port of the USB device you are trying to connect. In my case, I connected the micro USB cable to the Fire TV's micro USB port. This cable also provides the power to the device (Fire TV)3. Ethernet: You would need your own Ethernet cable. There is an Ethernet port on one side. Connect the one end of the ethernet cable to the hub and other end to the WiFi router, modem, switch that provides the internet connectivity. There are LEDs inside the hub that light up and show through the plastic body when the ethernet cable is connected properly.

It worked good. Now my Fire stick has the ability to hook up with ethernet and my controllers.

This thing works like a champ.

The adapter works as intended an in im able to use external usb devices such mouse, keyboard, and storage on the firestick the only issue is that there isnt enough power to be able to use my keyboard and mouse without turning the backlight off also rendering the power only port useless when the back light is on the firestick shuts off due to lack of power if the adapter could accept 15 watts insted of only 12 it would make the device much better another thing is the ethernet only offers 100mbs which is slower than the wireless also wish it used a standard port like micro b or type c (for power not data) but despite that the adapter is easy to use and makes streaming devices such as a pc better due to the low latency ethernet offers
