I've tested 3 USB-Ethernet adapter, and I'm having no luck. 1- USB 2.0 , gigabit ethernet by Plugable ; this one the TV (a 65C8) 2- USB 2.0, 100Mbit/s ethernet Apple Adapter 3- USB 3.0, gigabit, no idea the brand; I think it came with a Gigabyte laptop for 1 and 2, I get a message about an unsupported USB device has been plugged; no connection is established, switch light doesn't light up. For 3, the little LED on the adapter starts blinking, switch light tells me it's sync a gigabit link. TV gives no message of anykind. Router doesn't give it an IP address. Still no connection. A bit annoyed, I spent my day running CAT6 cable through my wall, only to realise that the TV doesn't support gigabit Netflix app gives me a 98Mbit/s link over ethernet and 128Mbit/s over wifi. Yet, over ethernet re-buffering appears instantaneous (I have gigabit ethernet) Edit: so adapter 3 works when plugged in port 3 and if no other USB device is connected first. I found that it was working if I turned off the TV fully, unplug all other USB devices, plug the ethernet and start the TV. Then you can plug the other USB devices. Not much quicker than via the ethernet port and still slower than wifi
