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?
