Connect Roku streaming player to a Wired Ethernet network

Connecting your Roku streaming player to a Wired Ethernet network will make video streaming and gaming much stable. Here's how to do it.
For Roku Express 4K or Express 4K+ streaming sticks, Roku recommends the following USB Ethernet adapters;
- UGREEN Micro USB to RJ45 Ethernet Network Adapter - amzn.to/3z0DaQz ($15)
- Belker micro USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter - amzn.to/3nTQksp ($12.98)
For Roku Streambar or Smart Soundbar
- TRENDnet USB 2.0 to 10/100 fast Ethernet LAN wired network adapter - amzn.to/3Ps9uBr ($12.99)
- Plugable USB 2.0 to Ethernet fast 10/100 LAN wired network adapter - amzn.to/3O28Pp7 ($15.95)

The tp-link USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit (UE306) works with the latest Roku Streambar, and after a few hiccups streams 4K @ 60hz.

When I go to set up then to wireless/wired connection there is no wired connection option.

It worked for me

i bought a phillips tv that has roku on it but same it doesnt show 'wired' as an option. so what did you do?

[@daultonwurst77]

Will this work if your using a tether program called pdanet +?

[@justgivemethetruth]

So, basically there is no way to manually configure the IP address on a Roku wired ethernet connection - you need a DHCP server set up to supply it with one?

[@DignitedTV]

No, there's no way to set a static IP on Roku

One of my Roku TV's never connects to the WIFI until I go to Settings/System/Software Update
and then set up the connection again. I have to do this every time I turn the TV on.
It is next to an Amazon Alexa that never has any trouble connecting to the WIFI.
What could be causing this problem ??

Same problem. Just got a message that the USB doesn't supply enough power which is ridiculous. Everything else works except the Roku.

This was really informative. Thanks. Can you tell me if the Roku sticks can use ethernet adapters also?

[@helperdude8205]

i got a question so i need to go to setting for it to be set up to wire even if itplug in but say i my remote is missing so i want to use my phone but i not connect to wifi on the devie because the line plug in will it find my roku so my phone app can connect?

[@thepracticalaudiophile]

It should if it's plugged into the router.

[@petemc5070]

Very informative. Thank you.

10/100 defeats the purpose almost entirely
