First off check out this ugreen ethernet adapter cable on amazon.
Ethernet adapter for fire stick 1st generation.
To operate without any interruption the modem uses a simple plug and play mechanism.
Luckily the 2nd generation fire tv stick has a micro usb port and there is a solution to use this port to add a wired fire tv stick ethernet connection to your device.
It converts micro usb back to usb and also comes with an ethernet port right on the cable.
When comparing these two amazon devices you must consider what features you will find useful.
Hi i bought the amazon ethernet adapter for my fire stick and cabled accordingly.
Connect your fire tv or your fire tv stick directly to your router with an ethernet cable no wi fi required easy to set up.
My 1st generation amazon fire which is still working has a built in ethernet plug not everyone has a great wireless system amazon should have thought of this in the first place.
I would be pissed if it didn t work it s just an adapter i really can t see why amazon just didn t include a ethernet plug in the fire stick puzzles me.
Ethernet adapter the fire tv stick 4k comes with a quad core processor see benchmarks below the fire tv stick 4k comes with 8gb of storage the fire tv stick 4k does not come with an ethernet adapter but one may be purchased separately.
The ethernet cable can easily get paired with 3rd generation fire tv along with a 2nd generation fire stick.
Speeds were pretty poor.
These features can relieve you from downloading and installing multiple drivers before you start using the product.
Along with the new 3rd generation fire tv amazon has released their own official fire tv ethernet adapter that also works with the 2nd generation fire tv stick it s a fine adapter if all you want is to add ethernet capabilities to your fire tv or fire tv stick but most people will be much better off buying this ugreen ethernet adapter w usb hub along with an otg adapter.

As soon as i put the amazon ethernet adapter back on and connect fire stick speeds drops to about 25.
A little known feature of the 2nd generation amazon fire tv stick which amazon has never advertised is that it supports usb otg by default this allows you to connect much more than a power cord to the device s micro usb port like wired keyboards mice hubs and external storage but by far the most common use is to connect an ethernet adapter in order to get a fast and stable internet.
Great speeds 100 plus via 5ghz.
I bought this due to the fact that i was having a bit of connection issues with my internet.
