Looking for a combined USB 3.0 hub/gigabit Ethernet adapter confirmed to work with the 2nd gen 4K Max.

I have a couple of FireTV USB 2.0 hub/100Mbps adapters but I want something with gigabit LAN. I know the USB on the Max is only USB 2.0 but only USB 3.0 adapters have gigabit LAN ports which are capable of 300-380Mbps when connected to a USB 2.0 port. None of these USB 3.0 adapters can power the Firestick through the USB though so they need a USB-OTG adapter too.

The problem is that not all chipsets work with FireTV devices and most adapters don't tell you the chipset. Can anyone suggest a powered USB hub/Gigabit LAN adapter confirmed to work with FireTV and specfically the 2nd gen 4K Max?

Using Amazon Cube as a IR remote?

Does anyone know if I can use the cube to connect to more than one device? I have some remote control curtains that use IR and wondering if I can also connect those with my tv? Thanks (:

Firestick Max stuck in boot up screen

Is it cooked? It’s been like this for hours, already tried different outlets, using the control to try to force a reset, reset my router, different tv, different HDMI port…

It was working yesterday, it suddenly stopped opening apps, it had a pending update so I did that and it still wasn’t working, then I hit reset from the menus and it hasn’t turned on since.

Is she a goner?

I have (had?) a fire TV. I switched where it was plugged in, and all of a sudden my TV looks like this when trying to play anything. It's so weird because the apps are fine, but playing anything is out of the question. I tried looking it up, but everything kept going to a Fire Stick, so I'm making this post just to make sure it's literally a goner. Got it in 2022; it's the 4-series.

Youtube app locks up.

Just the past few days the YouTube app will only play part of a video before it locks up completely, eventually going to a black screen. I can't backup, pause, play, or do anything except hit the home button to get out of it. I have tried Force stop, clear cache, clear data, then I even uninstalled and reinstalled it. I still have the same issue! Did they come out with a new version that is not working properly?

I am to the point where I'm trying to load an older version but I'm not sure where to go at this point. I was told to get into developer mode and then install the downloader, but now what? How do I find a previous version of YouTube?

Is this my solution or is there something else that is wrong?
