    It’s actually not a bad idea. Adding the hardwired ethernet connection boosts the speed incredibly and adding additional space gives you more options. I particularly like the idea of the hardwired ethernet. When I work on my laptop computer I always connect the ethernet cable directly because I like fast equipment.

    Nice video fella - very clear. I've got a similar setup on my Firestick and it really makes a difference. Am lucky that the router is just next to the telly that I plug the Firestick into, so was able to go wired ethernet.
    And you're right that a proper keyboard - even on a small remote - makes a load of difference!

    I notice some people are having trouble with the ethernet portion of the installation. I had some initial problems as well and went through resetting the router etc. Nothing worked until in exasperation I remembered I was plugging into a switch for the ethernet which I keep in my media room for all the electronics that needs updating via 'net etc. I unplugged the ethernet cord coming from the switch and plugged the main and rather long internet cord from my computer room directly in. It worked immediately. Then I tried using the cord from the switch instead (basically reverting to inital state of affairs) and THAT worked too. Perhaps the switch just needed a bit of a nudge to recognize the device..not sure but I know some of you will know why. I'm just glad it all works for me now including that cool remote. Hope that helps someone...I know how it can be when you've tried everything and still no luck. Great video!

    Had to go to the UK to find help from this young lady on how to get and use ES files at "A BRIEF OVERVIEW | INSTALL & USE ES FILE EXPLORER | AMAZON FIRESTICK | 2020". This method worked perfectly the first time. But if it wasn't for your video, I don't know if I would have ever heard of ES file and how to watch movies I've recorded on the firestick. I have an older tv with no USB ports. I was using a Raspberry Pi for a couple of years when I was using Kodi, but it constantly had very complex problems, and now with the firestick, I don't need Kodi and this is so much easier and less complex.

I have watched many of your Firestick related videos and have learned a lot. I installed a TP Link Deco system in our 2 story home and solved our weak WiFi signal problem ! Thanks for that ... I do believe I’m going to add some storage space and get me one of those controllers too. Keep up the good work.

    English man, Irish man and scotch man, sat round the table in a pub,
    English man says “think my wife is having an affair with a plumber”,
    they both ask why?
    English man says “I found a plumbers ratchet under the bed”,
    scotch man says, “ funny you should say That, because I think my wife is having an affair with a joiner, found his saw under our bed”
    Well the Irishman pipes up and says
    “ think my wife is having an affair with a horse because I found a jockey under my bed”

    Hi Adam. Ordered OTG cable & hub from your links. First try nothing happened but on second attempt I really gave the connections a good push & it sprang into life. Really good download speed compared to Amazon's own adaptor. Well chuffed. Cheers pal. Think it was the firestick power lead that was a tight fit.

      No bud. Most people watching will already own a Firestick to start. You get HD Netflix, Prime etc too. Updates are supported. A lot prefer the Firestick layout. ETC.ETC. Name me a box for the accessory budget that would beat it 🙃

  • @vitaliyborets4988
    @vitaliyborets4988 4 роки тому

    My advice, use your firestick as it comes. Any additional equipment will slow it down, make it freeze - my experience. Love Netflix in HD and Amazon Prime and other iptv/movie apps - use firestick. Want to add Kodi, gaming, 4K and lots of other stuff - £45+ android tv box. No need to argue what's best, you can afford both, common guys

    How do you connect the wechip remote to the fire stick? I have the same setup as used in the video, I have my dongle plugged in the hub for the remote and also my ethernet cable. However the ethernet cable isn't registering and the remote isn't working. Do I have to install some U green software on the fire stick to get it to work?

  • @thaum8133

    If I don't need or want ethernet, will just any USB hub work? I want to do this as cheap as possible, The ethernet port adds to the cost. And there are many cheaper USB hubs with ethernet also. What made you pick this more expensive option? Thanks.

    It is being suggested that the output of the mains power plug supplied with the 4k firestick may not be enough to support the additional devices you suggest, ugreen usb adapter, air mouse and usb memory stick.
    Also using a mains plug with a higher output may damage the 4k stick.
    What do you think?

    I bought all 3 items and set it up as shown. The hub does not seem to work, plugged the air mouse into it and nothing. Unplugged and plugged in the air mouse straight to the otg cable and it works.
    Does the hub get its power via the USB port?
