- Smart TVs are connected wirelessly or wired to a LAN cable. But what if your Smart TV is still buffering? What if your gamers are still laggy? This happens because of a slow internet connection - so here is how to boost your internet speed and get faster wifi so you can fix that!
USB to LAN adaptor: geni.us/USBtoLAN (Affiliate Link)
COMMON SENSE NOTE: There are literally thousands of makes and models of TVs around the world and obviously I can't test them all. You now know the concept of what you are looking for so now read/ Google your own TV's manual to make sure your TV can do this. You can always use the adaptor on other devices like a computer or return it if doesn't work with your particular TV.

Great tip! Some modern TV's also now have USB 3 ports. Plug the adapter in there for even faster speed than the USB 2's approx 300mbit/s limitation.
Thanks Liron! Saw this vid at the same time I was installing a new modem/router. The combination of connecting the smart TV to the LAN port (2.5G) and carefully placing the modem, and tidying up a few other things saw the speed jump from mid-120s down to a consistent 195mbps. Win!
Every time I'm watching your videos I feel like I'm in a classroom. Your information always on point and following your instructions makes everything safer. Thank you for sharing.

Je vous remercie
My router had a warning for the tv, no matter which port I used, saying to use a better cable that it was only getting 100mbs. I changed changed my cat6 cable thinking it was bad. I reset the tv after going through all my settings and nothing. I went through my router settings and disabled the priatization of streaming over everything else. I rebooted my router. Nothing. I found your video and I'm sold. Thank you sir.
Your adapter is usb3, but the usb port on the tv is only usb 2, so you're limited to the speed of the usb 2.0 port (max 480mbps). So the gigabit adapter is a bit overkill. You want to find a tv that has usb 3 ports.
I just wanted to say thank you. Whenever I feel down and depressed, I start watching your videos and within 5 minutes, I feel calm and my depression lifts from me. You're amazing and I tell all my friends all the great ways you've helped me over the last few years, and how watching your videos has kept me out of mental institutions. Thanks again, you are literally a lifesaver.

This man single handedly saved my online fps game experience. Before, I was suffering from 200+ avg ping, and I searched for answers everywhere. Nothing I tried fixed my ping. Until I found his fix for internet speed, which involved adjusting mtu size. Now I get lower than 60 avg ping, and I can go back to streaming valorant. Thank you so much!!!
if you look close, the ping on normal build-in ethernet is 4.1ms with the adaptor it´s 37.5ms so the direct build-in ethernet adaptor is better for gaming...
And @Liron a normal tv cant really handle such a speed.. only high end tv´s with some decent chips
@@lucasschrieken sounds plausible, yah
@@lucasschrieken he's talking about liron's other vid, not this one.
I ordered the one in your link. It was the "Amazon Basics Aluminum USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter". The one you referenced and showed in your video was the "Rankie USB Network Adapter, USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Internet Adapter". Will either one of these work? Thanks
Well Liron where I live in Australia we still have a 4G network and my download is still only 50Mbs and there is nothing that I can do about it. As for hooking up an Ethernet cable well, that would be extraordinarily difficult for me as my modem is in another room 30 metres away. I am not that savvy and I don't see the issue with upload speeds as mine is usually around 3Mbs. As for the 6G network I cannot see that happening for a very long time as we are so far behind you in the US. Having said that I think your fix for those who can use it - it is fantastic.
They have 6G in US bro? Wow

Hello, I have an LG TV 2019 and it doesn't work for me with the USB adapter. I've tried all USB ports.
Do you have an idea why this doesn't work?
I have a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter from Cable Matters
Greetings from Austria (Europe)
I too never considered the manner of connection.
I have a Samsung 3D and 😭 looks like my USB is only 2.
Would like to know if the adaptor would still benefit me or am I stuck with my buffering?
Hope u can shine some light on this area?
My TV's wired internet speed just went through the roof!!! Thank you!
awesomeness!
Great tip Liron! I would've never tried that because I just assumed tv's aren't "smart" enough to recognise USB ethernet adapters. Obviously I was wrong so great tip. I just have PC's connected to my tv's but this is good to know if a client is having bandwidth issues. Thanks Liron, Happy New Year mate!!
Glad I could help!
@@LironSegev I tried it and it did not work for me
Same thing I get
yeah but your ping is 37 from 4 ms,and jitter is 10 from 4 ms .
Most smart TV's usually have some kind of Linux based OS. Yes, even Android is Linux based, so most adapters should 'just work' as they will have a pretty standard chip.
I just use 5Ghz, AX standard and I get ~300Mbps on my smart tv (wireless), without any third party devices. I live in Romania (Europe), and I have a 1Gbps subscription plan from my ISP (aprox. 10$/mounth - with the ONT and wifi router included).
Hey new here to tv tech stuff , I was wondering I use a Ethernet walk adapter currently because I rent and I don’t want a huge hole in the wall to feed my modem cable, my question is if I buy a Ethernet adapter for the tv or pc would that give me even greater speeds?
Great video liron I will have to check it out on my tv. But I have question maybe you can help me with I’m upgrading my security system at home and right now I’m hooked up to my isp by wifi. But my new system has its own router. Can I just plug my new system into my isp modem/router using a Ethernet cable ? What do you think
I bought this adaptor from description and it's not working for me at all. I've got 97 Mbps when I'm using cable (cat8), but when I connect ethernet to usb adaptor the speed dropped to 82 Mbps. Maybe there is other setting need to setup?
What setting does it have to be on in order to recognize the USB with the Ethernet connected to it?
Hey Liron, on what brand of TV was this adaptor tested?
Thank you. Great info that I needed. 👍

i literally just tried it and it absolutely worked on my LG C9 TV
If you use this USB - Lan adapter from your the Ethernet out of your Router, into a USB input on your Smart TV, will it also make the Amazon Firestick (or Android box) plugged into the HDMI of your Smart TV have faster Internet speeds? Also, can you buy an Ethernet signal splitter to split the signal, to hardwire other TV's, Firesticks, or Android boxes around your home, to get better Internet speeds?
Just tried it and wow it at least psychology seem to have unhinged the TV from the router load and my iPhone is loading up faster. I had issues with Zoom stability in past 2 years which I suspect was from heavy use of the router as the whole family is working or studying dependent on WiFi. Will see how this pans out over next few weeks but heck it’s still a great suggestion. Thanks.

@@LironSegev I’ve learned so much from your vids … thank you again!
Thanks sooo much for the tip. Always enjoy your informative videos !! Can't understand why some viewers are always negative or down right nasty in their remarks. I originally had my Roku TCL smart tv on Wi-Fi then tried ethernet but it was coming off an Ooma VOIP ethernet port that apparently was capped at 100mbps so ended up back on Wi-Fi. Gotta keep playing around with your idea. Presently on T-Mobile 5g home internet which delivers 200mbps. Again MANY thanks for all your video's!!
Ignore those morons - I would far rather have people like you to focus on, then those trolls who are obviously too stupid to get it anyways 😂
Could they be bots just trying get a reaction or raise your BP? Just shrug it off...
😂 Probably
Thanks for the tip. I tried it on my LG tv and it could not find my connection. I couldn’t see the issue anywhere to address it. So I removed it. Ideas?
why does the ethernet adapter give a higher speed than just the regular ethernet cable? I always use the ethernet adapter to plug into my laptop because the ethernet port is broken, but never realized that it makes the connection much faster. Thanks for the tip!
I would like to know what brand of TVs work best for this ?
Thing to keep in mind is that most people probably won't need this, as most 4K video bandwidth from Internet streaming maxes out at around 25Mbps, which will barely put a dent in the TV's 100Mbps NIC.
Now uncompressed UHD Blu Ray backups from your Plex server (128Mbps usually), that's a different story. You _will_ need this.
That's HD rate, not 4K. 4K can go up to 85Mbps at a 60Hz frame rate.
Or connecting to remote Plex server being shared.
Does it matter what type of adapter you buy? My local pc store has a few brands and not sure what to look for
I have found turning off APSD mode helps with range on some models, and also on some routers beamforming hurts throughput, also choose non DFS channels, also Asus ac routers seem to like DTM 2 instead of the normal 1..
Thank you for that. It all helps. I have been amazed at how slow wifi is, and even more so if you are using VPN. My 300 mbps fibre was regularly showing speedtest results down around the 25 mbps. beware VPN overheads! And VPN + WIFI is even worse!!
What VPN are you using?
@@gilbertrios5283 I have tried various. mine wasnt a question needing an answer, it was more of a warning to people that are less techie
Cool to know. I already have a wired connection to my SmartTV and I'm good with the performance. I just have the slow internet that comes included with my rent and its good for my purposes right now. However I might move soon so if I have to pay for internet I'm gonna get something good. So this is a good tip for future consideration.
could you tell me how to use the adaptor if you have the ethernet cable going to the PC & from there using the display port out to the TV? Also need to know what settings to change .
Hello sir. I have a question about a mesh network. If you have a large two story home what is the best place to put your router and satellites I have 4 satellites.
Unfortunately this does not work for all TVs. I have a Sony XBR 55 X950G (bought in 2019) that has 3.0 and 2.0 USB ports and I tried three different dongles from different manufacturers. None of them worked. At the current OS level, it does not support this. The TV is on Android 9 and currently is not upgradable to Android 10 nor google TV, both of which should support USB to Ethernet dongles. It has the Google TV interface, but still on Android 9. I've heard an upgrade is on the way, but not holding my breath
It is rather dumb that TV manufacturers are not including GB ethernet ports, why is the industry behind on something that shouldn't be much more in cost? Any idea on this?
I believe it depends on the chipset and not just the operating system. Why do they not just put GB ports in the first place probably has more to do with the redesign of the motherboard than losing a couple of cents (I would guess).
I'm not surprised that not all tv's support the ethernet dongle but I am surprised that a newish Sony running Android doesn't support it. Are you able to enable developer mode and enable USB debugging on that tv David?
@@oldgoat50 If your TV is on Android 9, most likely. Check for updates. If Android 10 is available or even Google TV, my understanding is that these support USB to Ethernet dongles. Hope this works for you. Please reply with what you find out and also what is the model and year if you have that. Mine was made in 2019, which is when I bought it.
Hi Liron, Thanks for the tip but was told that the smart TV cannot recognize this adapter as a networking device. Appreciate to know why you can but others comment no. Thanks
Hey thanks for a very informative video, I have a Samsung 55” Q60T smart TV, does anyone of this dongle linked below will work?

We use our phone to get our internet so could we just bypass the Ethernet adapter and use a USB-c to USB 3.0 cord. That should give us the fastest connection then having the phone go threw a Ethernet adapter to USB 3.0 adapter should it not?

Hello, I brought the Rankie adapter. I have Google mesh and my tv is hooked directly to my Google mesh. I added the adapter and I had no difference. Now I have a TV in another room that is riding solely on wifi,so I don't have a connection for that TV. Can I hook this to my actual modem and see a difference? Please advise...thanks much for your videos! I just found you so I've been making some changes along the way of watching you.
I wanted to increase the speed of the nvidia shield or my smart TV and so I bought the d-link usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter....pluged it in the TV and nothing happend (not even the lights flashing on adapter) pluged it into the shield and the lights where flashing on the adapter but the speed didn't improved. What am I doing wrong or witch adapter do you recommend for the shield/ smart TV?
This channel RULES!!! Hail to the the Tech Explainer In-Chief!! Thanks again, Liron!
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Pair this with an ethernet switch and you're all set. The switch is needed if you also want to wire other devices as it will give every device full bandwith instead of dividing it, which will happen if you plug all of them straight into the modem.
Does your TV has a USB 3.0 as well? I guess this only works if your TV has USB 3.0 port correct? Btw what's your TVs model number? Just asking cause I own a TCLas well. Thanks
Great video. Can you please let me know how you initially connected the LAN? Thank you!

@@RickMorrisey1303C what he's saying is that long wires aren't really a big deal. If you have a big house, you already have loads of cables. You (or a contractor) can simply reply n the cable and cleat it, feed it through, whatever). Or, run a cable to a computer if you don't use many other devices, especially if it's closer to the router.

Hi, I purchased the same model USB Network Adaptor as the one you used, however when I plugged it in my TV did not recognize the connection. I have a new Smart Sony Android TV with multiple USB Inputs on the TV including USB 3 high but none seem to work or be recognized as an internet connection. I disabled Wi-Fi and removed my wired connection. Can you advise what the issue might be?
Exactly, not every TV recognizes the USB and this guy should know that. My Hisense doesn't either.
Just had the same item delivered today & plugged it into the USB port, my 4K Toshiba tv now says there’s no internet connection?
@@MarcusjMalloy Well so much for that bright idea.
Yes my 3.0 adapter did not work doing this in my Vizio 58 inch
Is it still not working?
Hi there, i have a question, do we need to set up or change something in the TV setting ?? is this USB dongle is plug&play??
When I'm streaming 10bit hdr 7.1 atmos through plex the bandwidth matters. I will definitely give this a try. Looks like ping is much worse tho which wont matter to me but for some people it could be a deal breaker, especially if you were gaming on your tv.
I tried this but nothing happened when I hooked up the ethernet cable to either of the free/empty USB ports on my TV.
I already get the same connection speeds whether I hook up to the ethernet port or use my wifi. Both of those connections give me basically the same result which is they give me speeds equal to or slightly higher than what I am paying for (150 Mbps).
When I hook up using the adapter you suggested the lan connection doesn't show up at all. Meaning it doesn't connect through the USB ports on the smart TV that I have, only LAN connection available is through the LAN port.
Oh well, at least someone somewhere made some profit off of my $18 purchase.
I have a 5 yr old LG smart TV and the same happened to me, LAN port only. No connection via adapter
The thing to remember about Wi-Fi is that in your router the Wi-Fi radio is sitting on a single interface port. So imagine all of your wireless devices are sharing a single port inside the router, the more devices you have and the more they're doing the longer they're going to have to wait their turn to get data in and out. Sure when it's their turn to transmit it transmits fairly quickly but then the lag between it transmitting and then the router taking a moment to talk to all the other devices, then getting your data back and waiting for your device to grab a time slot, it can slow down the connection overall quite drastically. also in some cases it might be beneficial to just turn off beamforming if your router supports it. Sometimes as it tries to find a multipath solution to your device it screws up the math and you end up just pumping a bunch of interference.
Also also, wired is always better than wireless. Period. End of story. If anyone has something to say against that, no you don't, you are wrong. If you can go wired always go wired! Always! wireless should be a last resort if you have a wired port on your device. Especially if you plan on streaming a lot of data constantly. And HD video is a lot of data! 4k is a ridonkoulous amount of data. 10 devices all streaming 4k clamoring for airtime? It's a packet traffic jam in the air man....
.... Actually hold on a tick, how can you run a tech channel and not know wired is always better? I mean knowing the intricacies of how Wi-Fi devices talk to each other that starts getting into the hard nerd territory, i grant it. But come on man, that's like tech 101 stuff.....
Oh, also unless you are passing a lot of data at once, and you know you're connecting to servers that can support that level of throughput and bandwidth, paying extra for bandwidth you don't use from your ISP is just throwing money away. If you only ever hit say 300 megabits a second, don't throw away money on the gigabit link, you're never going to saturate it and every unused bit is wasted money. Also also also, just a little life pro tip for anyone who hasn't heard it, unless you're streaming your gameplay, video games only exchange small text packets of your characters position which direction they're looking which direction they're shooting whatever, video is magnitudes larger than multiplayer online gaming data streams.
You could be less of a snarky little twit about it. Nobody likes people who come off the way you do. Facts. You should read some Dale Carnegie. Life isn’t all about what you know… start with humility
very well said brother ....wire is always the best option for sure .........thanks for the info
Yes, thank you 🙋🏻♀️ Wired is even better for security reasons. I run an Ethernet adapter through the wall outlet and have my lappy connected to it in my room upstairs 😁
Thanks for your input 👍🏻🙋🏻♀️🌻
It's not the best option when the device only has a 100mbps ethernet port. All my devices with a 100mbps ethernet port, I use their wifi connection. Because I will typically get 300 mbps speeds or higher from those wifi devices. Connected to my wifi5 APs. And I also have a properly setup wifi network. Which means I have multiple APs ( currently 5) to make sure every device gets maximum signal strength, maximum speeds, and no congestion. But while I have over seventy devices on wifi at home. I also have close to seventy wired devices too. But I run a 10GbE backbone at home and run wired devices with either 10GbE, 5GbE, 2.5GbE, or 1GbE ports.
@ aaronwt . If you have over 70 devices on wifi at your home and they are all on at the same time .
Then your home is the equivalent of living in a Microwave while it is turned on .
Great idea however most smart TVs today no longer have an ethernet connection. I have three HDMI ports and a USB port, an antenna port, and a place for my headset or soundbar. That is it. When I recently went shopping for a smart TV I could find none at my Target, et al, that had any sort of hardwiring ability.
I bought a adapter with extra usb outlets. It’s still the same as far as what’s required. Its not just a hub. But when. I plug into the usb on my fire tv it doesn’t recognize my wired Wi-Fi from the router only the wireless Wi-Fi is available. However it does recognize the wireless keyboard and my storage device both that are plugged into the adapter. I plug my Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port and it connects, so I know the cable is not the problem. Could it be the adapter?
Some smart TVs and other devices will allow you to change the DNS address and there are lists of faster DNS server addresses you can find online. Use a different one than your ISP provides or is "automatic" on your device and this can also increase your Internet speeds. You may need to test each listed DNS to find the one that works best for you as some are faster than others but most will definitely outperform the "automatic" DNS primary and secondary addresses.
Pro Tip: there is no 100% full proof DNS server out there that guarantees the fastest query times for your given network. DNS Jumper and Namebench are excellent tools to see which DNS servers have the best query times for your given network.

Thanks very much Liron, great video!
If you wanna improved your wi-fi connection just do the same but buy a USB 2.x or 3.x wi-fi dongle. Do have a look at the TV's capabilities and dongle's speed (limitations).
interesting. I tried that but adding a wifi card to the TV that already have 5Ghz didn't make any difference. Are you seeing something different? Maybe it works for the old smart tv that only had 2.4Ghz?
@@LironSegev Most TV's are still equipped with a 100Mbps ethernet port and equally capped on wi-fi.
Using the same USB port as for the wired ethernet shouldn't limit the speed of the wi-fi dongle. So either you're limited by your wi-fi speed on the spot or by the dongle('s specs). In essence this has nothing to do with the 2,4 or 5GHz band; besides that the latter carries faster speeds but over shorter distances.
I went from about 95 to 150Mbps on average
Would this work on an LG 70" 4K TV the reason I ask is because about 10 months after I bought it the tv, wifi and straight connection stopped working. I found out that those tv's came out bad something about the internet cable inside the TV got bent while being manufactured.. It has a USB connection but not sure if the USB adaptor will work.. my only work around for that is a fire stick and I just connect wifi to fire stick.. love the channel thx..
Very good info Liron. Thanks for sharing. But the thing is many of us don't have our TV close enough to the router to have a wired connection. Is there any way wireless connection can be improved?
try using 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and see which one preoforms better. Don't discount 2.4Ghz as it has a longer range so could be better.
You can of course change your WiFi to a mesh system and that will help.
Like this one: ua-cam.com/video/M8OXTyWs_zY/v-deo.html
@@LironSegev thank you I'll try
It's smarter hooking up your main computer to the lan hardwire, while allowing your TV to go wireless because the computer is where you would need faster speeds and chances are if your TV is close enough for a lan wire, then 5g speeds shouldn't be a problem.
i have had no problem with my tv being wireless only the only time it loses signal is when my internet is actually down. i don't understand why people still live in the world of being hard wired is better sure maybe at the start of wireless tech this would be issue but at this point there is really no excuse.
Yeah and who has their TV close to their router? Unless you live in a dorm or studio apartment. But most people don't want to run 25-50 feet of ethernet cable across their floor or drill holes when all they're doing is streaming video.
@@ericmatthews111 I have 3 computers 2 are either side of my tv, both are hard wired as is the tv, the other comp is upstairs so wireless , so I have mine right next to the router because who wants to play ff14 wireless...........no thanks. 🤣
Liron, I have a TCL Series 6 TV model 55R615, firmware version 10.5.0 build 4210. Using WiFi or Ethernet yields a connection speed of 80-90 mbps. My ISP provides me with ~500mbps downlead and upload speed.
The TCL user manual states "Note: The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter-it does not support the use of a USB network adapter."
I guess some of us are out of luck :-(
P.S. 80-90mbps for video streaming from the Internet is adequate is my case. However I've setup a Plex server in my home and watching 4K UHD using the TCL Roku Plex app is painful. It buffers and stops frequently. I have to connect the Plex server to my TCL 4K TV via HDMI to watch the 4K videos. This is not a tragedy, but now I have to consider getting a new TV in the future!
You should use your TV as a monitor and use your PC to play video or anything else. My PC will have full 1 GBps speed from ISP and can display 8K video on JVC 4K without a problem although my JVC is 7 years old already
CORRECT NOT EVERY SMART TV SUPPORTS THIS
@Nadski42YT I have tcl 43p615 and the network card works via USB, I pull out some 220 mb / s but only from which firmware version it works in the Czech Republic it did not work
Thanks.
You should buy something other than a TCL. There's a reason they're so much cheaper than other brands. I'd buy anything made in Korea before I'd buy a Chinese made tv. Open them up and the difference in craftsmanship is stark.
Liron this is awesome your the man.. Quick question I cant connect my Ethernet cable 1GB to my TV cuz my router is on another floor. What POE ( power over ethernet) device would you recommend so I can hardwire from the outlet? Or maybe can u do a video on this.. ( to limit wires running all over the place) We appreciate you!
I think you mean Powerline and not POE (POE is running an ethernet port from the router to a device like a camera and the ethernet cable provides power). Check this Powerline adaptor - ua-cam.com/video/5JG3x-aNg9c/v-deo.html

My question is how is your upload speeds faster than your download speed? On all of my internet connections my upload speeds are usually on about 20-30% of what my download speeds are.
YES! Same question! My PS4 gets 100 down, but less than 5 upload.
My guess would be, that as a youtube content provider he needs to upload large video files and has "enhanced" (pays more for) connection.
My Comcast has 200 download and 20 upload I believe, My Son's Verizon FIOS has equal upload and download speeds, My Comcast usually tests a little lower than it claims, My son's FIOS often tests faster than his claimed speed.

I have a wifi router at my computer and a wifi extender at both of my android boxes with ethernet cables coming from the extenders and connecting to my android boxes would a USB to LAN adaptor help with my buffer when I streaming?
An easier fix is to not plug your TV into your internet service at all. Let something like AppleTV handle the incoming internet connection and use the apps built into the ATV. Done.
Got an even better trick for faster LAN speeds on your tv. Most TV makers cheap out on their NICs and only use a 10Mb NIC. But new TV’s have USB 3.0 ports, so get yourself a high speed USB 3.0 to RJ45 Network adapter and use that to connect your TV to your LAN and watch speeds go through the roof. I did it myself originally out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised at the results. Those USB LAN adapters are great. You can even use them to make a bridged connection on your PC to give you dual 1000Mb connections to you Switch/Router to boost speeds. Try it. 👍🏼
What type is the USB adapter that you use?
Specs please.
You made me a happier person! Thank you so much.
Yes of course hard wiring is faster but most people don’t have their router next to their TV.
I bought one and it doesn't work!!!! I tried it in both usb ports on the back of the tv, the light on the dongle came on but no internet on the tv. Put ethernet cable straight into the tv and it has the internet. Don't waste your money like I did, it doesn't work.
*sigh instead of being a dick "it doesn't work" how about saying: "hey - so this is the make and model of my TV. Can you help?"
surely you aren't that stupid to think every single person on this planet has the same brand and model of your TV?

Great videos! But if my smart TV has say 1.0 or 2.0 USB out puts (USB being capped at 480mbps)
Will I still get more than 1 gbps from my ethernet port??
Even if I'm using the blue end
USB 3.0 Cable????
I haven't found ANT TVs with 3.0 USB ports on the back . I mean 2.0 USB is half the speed of the 1 gb that the ethernet port has .
Forgive me if I'm missing something here, I just wanted to put that out there and see what I'm missing here lol. Please advise 🙏 again thank you for all your great videos:)

Great information. But what if your TV is not in the same room as your router. I was getting 300 to 350 mbps. Now only 30 to 50. What changed?
Lirón, How you feel about mesh networks like eero?
Does the ethernet cable need to be connected to your router or connected to a port in the wall (like what you plug a landline in)?
Thanks. Question. How to check if TV supports 1g or not? Manufacturer, model specs, or somewhere on TV settings
Can this device be used on Playstation 5? I don't use the internet on my t.v. but we do use it alot with the consoles. Also really love your channel, thank you for your videos!
Thank you for your time Liron, This is amazing, and why do the tv brands, i mean, all have to limit the bandwidth? That suggests that they are using the same card in all the brands from the super high end to the lower.
I assume its cheaper and maybe updating that LAN port would mean a redesign of the motherboard. Also since a 4K video needs 25Mbps, maybe this isn't a big deal enough to worry about?
Every time you design a new device you need to set the specs desired but not reaching the cost defined for the market segment where this device is addressed to. Also is very important to use standards otherwise other devices will not be able to connect to your device. Currently wired connections have 3 main standards that run at 10 mbps, 100 mbps or 1000 mbps. For a smart TV that will not need to stream more than 4K that requieres 25 mbps, using the 100 mbps standard seems to be a reasonable choice.
Humer101, because it’s not needed. 1gb links aren’t even needed on pc’s unless doing huge file transfers. If you know how much traffic a device was pulling at any Given time for day to day activities, you would be surprised
@@PMPerformance yes, pc is a big difference when you play games like Fortnite and warzone, ping change big time when your connection is fast why I don't know, but I tested, and you can see a big difference.
We have here four custom gaming computers and one PS4, and I have before 800 mg down, and I have now 1,200 mg down, and every computer had a 2.5 g card, and man is an big difference between the two.
@@humer101 I have a hard time believing you are moving that much data.
I ran 10 win 10 images at once across the network to my sccm server and barely broke into double digit bandwidth on the trunks on my switches.
I am not saying bandwidth does not help, but you aren’t using it, so it’s moot in most cases for lan traffic. Wan traffic bandwidth helps when you are chewing through simultaneous streams for sure.
I order Tb Links adapter after I saw UR video but its not working with my LG TV I don't know If i will try sam Rankie USB Network Adapter it will work or no pls Advise ?
Purchased an Amazon basic Ethernet adapter. I plugged it into my Smart FireTV USB port, actual television. When I connect the Ethernet cable to it and go into settings, I’m no longer connected to the internet. What am I doing wrong or does this not work for all TVs??
I get buffering sometimes on my Firestick, but it plugs into the HD port. Is there an adaptor for THAT like the one for the USB to speed up my internet?
Cheers..i Got an adapter as described plug it into the USB port (3.0)..the speed is still the same as when I was on Wi-Fi. I do somethin wrong?..the numbers weren't terrible.(170dl, 13ul).. I was just expecting better.

What if my Roku box has a max speed of 70 mbs? I have it hardwired to my tv using an HDMI cable. My Ethernet cable goes into the Roku box with the HDMI cable going from the Roku box into the TV. Can I increase this speed somehow?
Hi Liron.. What might I be doing wroing. My 75" smart tv has one USB port so I bought the item in your link and when hooked up I have no internet connection? Thank you in advance for the reply..
Great tip, if you get a tv that has USB-C then you should get that compared to USB-A as USB-C is even faster. Regardless, great work and tip!
Wow! I live in a rural area and all I have is the netgear hotspot for unlimited high speed internet. I have Netflix and watching movies is no fun because of the constant buffering. It would take 4 hours to watch an hour and a half movie. I never thought of hard wiring the netgear puck. I just connected the Ethernet cable to the TV and the puck and turned off the Wi-Fi. It worked! Oh my goodness! I can enjoy watching movies again. Why do I need the TV adapter? I wasn’t understanding that part. I’ve just ordered it from Amazon and if it makes it that much better I’m all in. Thank you!
Fantastic Tip!! Thank you soooo much... Stay Gold!
What TV brand are you using?
Ordered one right away thank you sir.
Hi...mHi... after watching your video, I bought a tp-link ue300, but on neither TV is detected the cable connection when I attach the usb.... will the tp link be defective? Or is it a problem with the tv?
Thank you…very informative!
Hi could advice which brand of this ethernet adapter to usb which will work with 300mbs
I have a QLed 2022 model QN65Q65BAGXZD which also does not recognize the USB 3.0 Gigabit Adaptor. Any ideas on what to do? I read somewhere about disconnecting the Wi-Fi but also does not work.! Some say the product from Cable Matters does work but I could not find it in my country. Any ideas ?
Does this usb to lan adapter work with old micromax canvas s 50 Android 4.4 usb 3.0 tv i have a doubt what about drivers Android kernel my tv is rooted too
We have a house in rural France that only receives a useless 3 MBPS from the provider. (Orange). Could one of these improve speeds to the house router or to a 7 year old Mac? The Mac is the only wired connection. Thanks.
Hi. I have downloaded my favorite UA-cam videos on my android phone and the storage is full.

Hi there, was wondering if this would work through a android tb box ?
Hi I am streaming on a android tv via a firestick. Will the solution to increase my speeds work in this case?
