I hope this fixes some issues you maybe having, and let me know what problems you have come across and what's worked for you. USB Formats - The most common format used is FAT32, but I also found that NTFS also worked to play media.

Adam I have experienced what you had happen about saying no network connection. I found unplugging the Ethernet cable and plugging it back in after 3-5 seconds have fixed it. A question I have anytime I restart my firetv all my apps get rearranged. Any idea how to fix that? It drives me crazy. My system is set up as your video 4K Firestick beast mode.

All it was was the USB was pushed in too far, pulled it out a little and bam all working. Thank you Adam and thank you to the person who suggested that. 👍

I did a search again today and your familiar face was the first that popped up. To my amazement, the suggestions that made the least amount of sense is the one that solved the problem I was having for a year. After plugging in the USB source, I backed it out slightly and what do you know. I thank you so much.

I purchased the OTG cable along with the U-green hub as per the video "Turn your Firestick Into a Streaming Beast" for my 4K Firestick. Sadly the hub would not recognize either a USB stick or the ethernet cable being plugged in. I tried plugging the hub into the PC it it worked just fine, so I knew it wasn't dead. The OTG cable recognized a flash drive right away, so I was good there. I saw and then followed Dave Simpsons suggestion regarding installing a very short USB extension ahead of the hub and everything worked like a charm instantly. Not sure why this makes a difference but, it surely did for mine I saw where Paul Carranza stated he contacted U-green and they told him "IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO WORK WITH THE FIRE STICK". It may not be designed to work with the Firestick but, it definitely does with the little mod. Cheers :)

It didn't work either so I searched for answers on the net and found this video. A wiggle on the USB between the adapter and the OTG and hey presto, it works. Now I have an adapter I don't need lol.

I was pulling my hair out trying to connect the UGreen USB hub. I had the OTG cable connected to the Firestick and was using an ethernet adapter I bought off of Amazon. It worked well, but when I tried the UGreen hub it stopped connecting through the ethernet and would only connect WiFi. I tried every combination I could think of and still couldn't make the UGreen work. Then I watched your video...Viola! I pulled the usb connector slightly out of the OTG cable slot and it connected ethernet. I plugged in my thumb drive to the hub and it flashed the icon in the lower right corner of the screen. I can't thank you enough! In the meantime I'm upgrading to a new Firestick so that I can enjoy the convenience of OS7 and not the hassle of adding a drive through OS6.

Great video that solved my problem. After moving house I could't get my Firestick 4k max to see the USB hub or LAN cable (despite the same set up working perfectly in my previous property). I just pulled the USB connection from the hub to the OTG cable out approx 1-2mm or until the blue lights come on the hub and my problem was solved. For good measure I upgraded the power supply to the Firestick and atttached one to the hub. All hunky dory now !!

Hi @Freetech, I have bought the same UGREEN USB Ethernet adaptor that you recommended, however I still don't get faster speeds as when the fire stick is connected to the Wi-Fi network. I get only 40Mb of download speed when I have 800Mb on other devices such as my phone or laptop connected via the RJ45 cable which is left me and not normal when I have a 1 gigabytes broadband service. Any clue what could be causing this?
@FreeTech
@FreeTech 3 жыл бұрын
Hi bud. This could be due to the lack of processing power on the Firestick which can affect speed test results. Or maybe it's just not giving high speeds. But, the benefit of having a wired connection is that it's stable so stops any drop outs which should also prevent buffering in most cases.

Hi there, is there any chance you could look at an issue I'm having with the WEchip air mouse, it works ok on the firestick but for whatever reason when using on the Nvidia shield some of the keyboard characters don't work properly, for example when attempting to type the @ symbol " is input instead , I've found that to get the @ symbol I need to input " on the keyboard, I sent the W1 version back to Amazon because I thought it was faulty only to find the newer W2 does the same on both my shields, can you try your one on the shield and see if it does the same ?

I'm currently using a 2nd Gen Fire TV Device. I'd like to be able to add 10/100/1000 ethernet adapter to this by getting a UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter or going with a Amazon Ethernet 10/100/1000 adapter. But I did read somewhere that in order to get the full capability of a gigbit ethernet connection you should make sure you are using USB 3.0. With that stated my 2nd Gen fireTV device contains a USB 2.0 plug in option. not sure if either of these ethernet adaptors would work for me to get the full gigbit capability. Would I be better up upgrading my fire TV to the latest firestick or Amazon cube or something. Just looking for some pointer here. Thanks

Thanks for posting this follow up video.. I added the UGreen USB hub a few days ago and had trouble with the connection.. After messing around with the connection point, like you said in this video, I was able to get the firestick to recognize the ethernet line and use a wired connection.... BUT, after running multiple speed tests, it is MUCH slower than it should be. The speed via wi-fi was around 120 mbps, the wired connection has been anywhere between 30 and 86 mbps.. I also ran a test with the same ethernet cord into a Nvidia Shield and it was around 400mbps (wi-fi remained around 120)... I'm going to return it and try out another brand. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know.

If so, I can't get either my home computer which is running Windows 7 or my laptop to do this. Mt home computer USB can't deal with the size and my laptop doesn't offer FAT 32 as an option. All the other functions and wireless controller work great. Any suggestions please...Thanks for the great content! Also, I found a solution to one of the power problems, I was using the a TV power source for this setup and was having problems, so I tried using the opriginal Amazon power source to the firestick and that fixed the power issue for me.

After I got the memory stick working with a different brand of Usb hub I also tried an old generic 2.0 Usb hub and it worked fine with the V.3 Firestick and memory stick. I then rummaged around and found I had a Usb Ethernet adapter and plugged it into the working Usb hub that does not have built in ethernet and it works fine. From this experience perhaps a suggestion may be that if the wiggle trick does not work for you and have or can borrow alternative hardware give that a try.

Mine connection threw a ethernet cable keeps saying connected to the internet with problems ? Any idea why this is. I know it ain't the internet as I've had it checked. This is with a 4k and a lite.

Wiggle the connection like suggested at 5mins seems to bring something up on the network screen but went off tried a second otg cable and now WiFi off? Rebooted WiFi on no wired connection. PROBLEM I noticed the e the Ethernet is not recognised as plugged in to something on the router. You get a yellow light to tell you it’s hooked up to a device and it does not light up on this. Switched cables and the light went out so something wrong either the Ethernet connection on the ugreen device

7:45 110v vs 220v is irrelevant as both are converted to 5v USB power anyway. In most cases a universal power supply included with a device will be rated something like 220V at 5A or 110V and 10A. Meaning both are putting out the same wattage (power) of 1100 watts.

hi @freetech, I recently followed your tutorial and added external storage to my 4k firestick and worked great. I downloaded some apks onto the drive. But when i play content on some of them the audio seems to be a little out of sync. Its not much maybe only a quarter of a second and you have to look really close to see it but its enough to notice and can be irritating . Is this normal from apks on external storage? Thanks

Hi, it won't be the Apps that are the issue bud. It will more than likely be the streams which are at fault.

Wicked video solved my problem, I've configured 20 odd 4 k sticks with OTG and 32 gb flash drives, and odd times suffer from crashing and continual rebooting tried everything I know, your comment on the Amazon plug only 1 amp makes sense the stick is trying to pull more power as ther is no fuse it will crash, now using my iPads charger no issues at all many many thanks.

I am using an older plasma television with usb port. I tried to install the ugreen 4 port hub and otg cable with firestick via hdmi cable to usb converter plugged into the hub. Well my television displays cannot recognize devise. So I am I wasting my time trying to do all those devises on a older plasma television?

Had the issue with connecting with Ethernet. All fixed now. I did what you said and unplugged the Ethernet adapter, plugged it back in a few times untill 3 lights came up, unplugged the Ethernet cable to the router and plugged back in and Boom Boom shake the room. The issue is with smaller adapters connection. May try a new one if it plays up. 👍
