Once I installed my FIRE CUBE I was fat, dumb and happy until streaming started to hang-up and buffer nearly every time I watched TV. Thanks to your video I found the ethernet adapter that originally came with the FIRE CUBE. Since I cannot run a ethernet cable to my CUBE I'm getting a WiFi booster so I can run the ethernet cable to the CUBE. My speeds are horrible. Sometimes an unbelievable 2.3 down and 4.2 up. Thanks to your video you got me looking in the right direction!

[@NarteaBay]

you are welcome and thank you

[@bobacosta2937]

@@NarteaBay Finally got the booster installed. New speed 19 down/26 up. Hardwiring is the way to go whenever possible!

[@NarteaBay]

@@bobacosta2937 yes hard wire is allways the way to go..and one day if you upgrade your speeds, it would be even better

Thanks just what I needed some understanding of the 2.0-3.0 speed connectors..thk

[@dwaynel9663]

Just want to thank you for the video man.....I am paying for 200Mbps download speed.....with The Fire TV cube on wifi I get full 199Mbps....However, with the included Amazon ethernet adapter that speed dropped to 94Mbps wired connection. So I followed your advice, got the same OTG 90 degree adapter from your link for USB A 3.0 to Micro USB, and a gigabit Ethernet adapter USB 3.0 as you advise. The Amazon gigabit adapter from the link was out of stock at the time ,so I got a similar one by UGreen, just made sure it was 10/100/1000, gigabit, and USB 3.0 Well I am pleased to report this worked like charm....my wired ethernet speed went up to 199Mbps (from previously 94) Thanks for the video ....by the way the OTG micro USB adapter linked is perfect, it does not block the infrared and HDMI ports on the Cube because it goes 90 degrees in the other direction. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@NarteaBay]

you welcome

[@lrm197930]

Awesome! Had no idea the adapter it came with was garbage. Thank you!!!

[@NarteaBay]

you welcome..

[@georgehafner2462]

Hello Nartea Bay, the Amazon Basics Gigabit USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter works great, but the BSHTU ADAPTER Is the wrong adapter because it is a 90 degree adapter and when you install it on the Amazon Ethernet Adapter, it blocks the IR and HDMI cable. The right Adapter is the UNIDOPRO USB 3.0 OTG CABLE ADAPTER, MICRO USB//TYPE C CONVERTER. It is 180 degrees and does not block those cables. Just wanted to let you know, so that if your subscribers want to do this conversion they won't have to send back the adapter that doesn't fit right, still a great video. Thanks

[@montedowd2502]

Can someone send me the link of the correct adapter...I'm interested in this set up and want to get the right one @GeorgeHafner

[@wfranklin56]

I did that connection and it works great. My speed was 394

[@NarteaBay]

That's good to hear that your speed went up and you enjoying every moment watch these HD 4K movies

[@davewhool3091]

What is your opinion on using Power Adaptors to increase network speed to small apt rooms in place of wifi any good?

[@NarteaBay]

if you are using the ethernet cable.you should be fined..thank you..power adaptors is good for computers..but it wont increse speed for streaming services

[@natassatan10]

Thanks, order exaclty what what you said and went from 70 down to 180 down. TIP: PLEASE restart your modem after setting it up, i was getting same speeds ( no changes ). After restart about 180. So order exactly the same, plug and restart modem.

So I tried your suggestion ordered from your list and it did not work do you have the actually specific specs on the OTG connector cause the same one you used the T style one from your hyperlink. I ordered but the micro usb connector did not fit correctly. got it to work finally the micro usb did not look right and I didnt want to break the pins in the cube. Thanks

[@chubbychops5043]

Nartea Bay - Thanks for this but....you were not clear in your link to buy the 180 degree version of the OTG. The Amazon link you point to shows 90 and 180 degree options to buy. I bought the default one thinking your link automatically pointed to the correct OTG variant. It means I will have to return the item at great waste of time and expense as i am not in US and buy the correct one. I realise I was an idiot, and it is my fault, and not yours, for not checking carefully. But i also feel you could have been more idiot proof in your description and link. Suggest you make the revision and be explicit! Thank you

[@NarteaBay]

both links are the correct ones..i just check.did you click on both links? otg adapter cable and the amazon basic are there. thanks and sorry you got the wrong one. have a great and safe day.

I did exactly as guided in this video using the same equipment that was recommended. I have 50' of CAT 6 ethernet cable from my router to my Fire TV Cube. However my Download speed only went from 92 MBPS to 105 MBPS, but my Upload speed went from 97 MBPS to 295 MBPS. How to you install the driver into the Amazon Fire TV Cube that came with the Ethernet Adapter? BTW, I'm paying for 500/500, and I typically get that at my desktop computer which is CAT 5 ethernet cable to the same router.

keep everything plug in and restart your router and modem too.that could help

Hello I have a 1 gig speed internet plan. Will the adapter that came with the cube hardwired get me close to the 1 gig I'm paying for? I'm confused as to why I can just use the ethernet adapter that came with the Cube itself? Thanks for any help.

[@NarteaBay]

you may have a gig of speed..but the amazon box is not..so this adaptor will help you get more speeds

[@411Aphrodite]

Does the ethernet plug into the tv? From the fire cube.. ordered these cables, coming tomorrow. Tested my speed. It's only 20.1 Paying for what should be more that is quite a shocker.

[@NarteaBay]

yes use enthernet for faster speeds..plug one end to modem and the end to the adapter you getting tommorrow.if you paying for 300 speeds you should get atleast 150 or so with the adapter

You know what the blue port is for lol. They when they saw you coming they saw sucker . The flu USB port is when you are using USB C on an phone or tablet . Or if you ever using that on a quest it has a USB c port. Thing that sucks about the fire TV cube it's USB and it's USB 2.0. you're not going to get USB 3 of a USB b port now way in hell. All you might get is maybe four hundred megabytes per second out . So if you have 500 megabytes down you might get four hundred of it
