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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
