Question

Posted

Hello,

Is there any way of installing an usb gigabit network adapter on a webos smart TV?  The builtin wired adapter is only 100mbps (on a 2000$+ TV, shame  on you LG!!!)  while the wifi (N) is very poor, with the router at 1m from TV it only gets half the bandwidth of the wired network. Anyway the wired network  maxes out near 100mbps but I need more bandwidth as I have 4k video content with bitrates grater than 100mbps which I cannot stream without stuttering to TV through XPLAY/PLEX. 

Kind regards,

Hi. One more question as i ordered cable matters adapter and it's on it's way. Do you use it on your USB 3.0 port or standard 2.0 ports? If on 3.00 can you try Usb 2.00 and report if it works as my TV has only Usb 2.00 ports. Thanks again in advance.

i tried all ports and all works. now it's connected to 3.0.

i have only one annoying thing with this connection type. i am using lg smartshare as a dlna server and "photos and videos" app on tv for watching things. sometimes that "photos and videos" app couldn't find my pc. than i have to click multiple times to refresh button from top right, close the app and reopen the app. other things works perfectly like plex, iptv, youtube etc.

Good to know that it works on Usb 2.00 ports too. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work. 

Plugged it on my LG and it says Unknown usb Device connected. But no internet connection. All LED lights on Cable Matters work fine and works normally.

Works on my PC and Steam Link device though.

Will look for a Tv Box which can handle 4K ULTRA HD Playback and HDR with android i guess. No money for the ultima Nvidia Tv Shield :(

very interesting. if led light works fine, it should work too. if you just look tv options, yes it said there is no internet connection but it can. did you check connected device list on your modem?

nvidia shield is perfect solution for everything. my suggestion is; try to save money for a few months and buy it. don't waste your money for other devices.

It doesn't get recognized on my router. Gave it some time but still nothing. 

Already order Xiaomi Mi S Box.

I ended up picking up this cable matters ethernet adapter (

link hidden, please login to view
) but it doesn't work properly on my 65C9PUA.

The TV gets an internet connection, however it caps out at 100mbps just like the onboard lan.

Not sure if anyone has other recommendations for alternate adapters. I would prefer to not need to buy 4 or 5 of them to see what works.

Wondering if Cable Matters changed how they make their adapter considering it seems like more people are posting that it doesn't work properly.

Mine Cable matters connected on a Usb 3.00 and 2.00 exceeds 200-300mbps from Plex server so it works fine. On a Usb 3.00 port on my PC it even used 480-550mbps on Plex Dashboard > Bandwidth.

Yeah, on a PC the adapter works just fine, I get Gigabit speeds no problem testing with iperf3.

It's my C9 OLED that's having problems with it.

Although weirdly I do need to do a network reset in Windows to get it to not bug out every time I plug it in. Maybe that's part of the problem?

My guess is that TV's are more complicated with these adapters. A fairly cheap Tv Box which can handle 4K Hdr Direct Play from the Plex Media Server looks a pretty solid solution. Fingers crossed again for me. Will report back with my results once i got my hands on Xiaomi mi S Box.

Ok so i've got the box. Everything works fine. Connected Cable Matters adapter and ethernet shows as connected. Have access to the internet BUT. Trying to Direct Play an HEVC HDR file requires 160mbps in my PMS Dashboard. It seems that it caps at 90-95mbps based of the diagram...Tried connecting on my 5Ghz band and caps even lower 72mbps (Box is next to my router). My Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 connected on the 5Ghz band even a room further from my router can recieve over 200mbps. It depends if i move or not. Sometimes is 160mbps and others at 260mbps. 

My question is why Cable Matter Usb to Ethernet adapter as it says is a Gigabit caps the Box at 100mbps...??? Should i try another adapter maybe? Even a Usb 2.0 to ethernet adapter?

LG 43UJ630V-ZA

It's quite possible this approach won't work with htat.  Most people have been using this for the higher end Oled smart TVs (which probably have some different chipset that makes this work).

My E8 has a wireless AC connection achieving 650\866 Mbit. It streams high bitrate 4K flawlessly... Wireless. The first to give up processing is my Synology DS216, depending on the codec used in the source file. So don't blame the TV too quickly and do a proper analysis.

i guess your tv is 2018 model.

some older models have wifi issue too. like my uh850v(2016). wifi chipset gets too hot and shutdown itself if i stream over wifi too much. can't reach wifi until restart the tv.

Hi- I have the Cablematters adaptor- model number 202013  

link hidden, please login to view

I have plugged it into my 55  C9 PLA and it says an unknown device is connected- I have a blue light on the adaptor and the two flashing lights also light up. I get internet connection BUT I only get 19-25 Mbps download when I can get 190 Mbps using the Cablematters adaptor connected to my PC- I have 200Mbps fibre into my house. I have unplugged/plugged and switched on and off many times- still those throttled speeds on the TV.

When I plug into the TV's wan port direct from my router I get about 90Mbps which is what I would expect for LG's 10/100 wan port. What is strange is that I just had a Netgear 8-Port ethernet switch arrive- and when I plug into the LG ethernet port BUT go through this ethernet switch it also throttles it down to 19-25 Mbps. Obviously I am missing a setting. My router is an Asus RT-AX92U which is in a mesh system. Thanks for any advice

Depends on the USB connection used on your TV. Is it 2.0? That could explain, USB 2.0 does have enough bandwidth for data transport, but also requires processing power from CPU inside the TV. 

The issue with your switch is a different thing. Perhaps your network gets choked by broadcast storms... But you need to do some signal sniffing to really find out.

OK- so I think the Cable masters adaptor it is working now- enabling flow control on the Netgear gigabyte switch seems to have made it work- don't ask me why- or even what it is! But

went up from 40Mbps to 130Mbps and it went up on the other apps too. The other thing I found is that reported faster speeds than the LG app- Internet Speed 2 reported but also faster than the Netflix built in internet speed checker. I guess, the real question is, does it make a difference- and yes, Netflix etc do feel snappier/less buffer. Plus, I hope my tv speeds will go up further and beyond 130Mbps as the speeds from my internet provider gets faster.

I bought this adapter before I found your forum asix ax88179 thread

It works and can play 4K video files without continuous buffer updates. But when I turn my LG Oled55B9 off and on again the connection is lost. If I activate Wifi, it is he who takes control (bad). It doesn't take much for this to work. But for now it is not usable.

Hi All, 

 

As owner of a C9 and CX I am extremaly confused. I have been working with ethernet gigabit adapter without any problem for one year. I bought a CX few days ago and it is not working as expected (as C9 does). It seems that CX is limiting the DOWNLINK to 120mbps as maximum, all tests throw strange DOWNLINK values (via WiFi 5G and Ethernet Gigabit) so I would like to know if you find same problems.

 

Right now I am able to play 4K high bitrate films with my C9 but I can not via my CX...and this is the new model!

 

Is someone informed about this?

Thanks a lot!

I just made an account in hopes that someone could help me out. I tested a usb 3.0 ethernet adapter that I already had with my B7. The adapter leds are flashing, I get internet connection on the TV and I can access DLNA devices on my network. Wifi and ethernet both say disconnected in WebOS as others have stated. My problem is that casting youtube or netflix no longer works. This is a function I use a lot, but it won't work when connected with the adapter. My phone can find the TV, but when trying to cast anything it says trying to connect forever. Casting works fine when connected to the built in ethernet port or wifi. 

My question is: can someone confirm that casting to youtube and netflix works when using the Cable Matters ethernet adapter that others have used? It seems in most cases either everything works or nothing works, so I'm trying to find out if my adapter is an odd one where everything but casting works, or if casting has been broken in an update over the years. Really hope someone can help me out.

      Hello Everyone,
       
      I am new here. I have LG Smart TV (50UN7340PVC) and would like to connect with Logitech Conference USB camera (BCC950). Does anyone have idea whether it support or no? When I connect, the message pop up that HID device connected. After that I can't find any option for the camera. Please advise. Thank you

      Samsung has made fridges with touchscreens before. LG has made fridges with doors that turn transparent to show you the inside. This year at CES 2018, those two ideas are finally merging into one with LG’s new InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator, which features a 29-inch touchscreen that becomes transparent if users knock on it twice.
      LG actually tried this two years ago, with a version called the Smart InstaView Door-in-Door that ran a full version of Windows 10, but it’s not clear that the company ever shipped the Windows version.
      This version uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LG’s webOS software and Amazon’s Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders when things are running low or about to go bad. There’s also a wide-angle panoramic camera on the inside of the fridge that will let you remotely view your fridge while you’re out and about to check and see if you’re actually out of milk or not.

      Unfortunately, the only image that LG has shared showing the fridge is a low-resolution shot on its YouTube page banner, but it seems that you’ll be able to still use the screen while it’s translucent, allowing you to tag food directly in a vaguely augmented reality-esque move.
      LG is also touting how all of its ThinQ kitchen gadgets can talk to each other to make kitchen tasks easier. So your ThinQ fridge can talk to your EasyClean oven, which will help you cook food through step-by-step instructions from the recipe app from your fridge. Then, your EasyClean oven can notify your QuadWash dishwasher about the kind of meal you cooked, so it can more efficiently select a wash cycle for that dish. Of course, all this requires spending thousands of dollars replacing every appliance in your kitchen (and if this all works as well as LG claims it does), but it’s still an intriguing vision of a Jetsons-like future utopia.
      No price or release date for the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator or any of LG’s other new appliances have yet been announced.

      I currently have three LG smart TVs.  I use YouTubeTV on all of them.  It's been convenient to have all three of them working (more of less) exactly the same.  But now I want to replace one of them with a Samsung Smart TV.  And I will want to use YouTubeTV on the Samsung.  I think in theory it should all work ok.  But before I take this expensive step I wanted to check here.  Do any of you mix smart TV brands without problems?    Thanks,  Bob

      I purchased an LG 86" UT8050 4K UHD LED Smart TV (2024) from JBHIFI in Australia. The TV was wall-mounted and set up by a local installer. I discovered that my TV has Chromecast built-in. I tried casting music from Roon, but Chrome immediately crashed and the TV shutdown. I tried again and the audio was distorted. I shut down and tried again and the audio stuttered. I tried Chromecasting with Qobuz and Plex and got the same result on audio playing out to my Yamaha RX-V6A and the TV speakers. I then tried to play audio from the Plex App in the LG WebOS. That played fine, without any distortion.
      Thinking this might have been a result of a hurried setup (the installer did this job "on the run" I reset the TV to factory defaults and set it up again. Everything went smoothly. But the problem with Chromecast persists. First time launching Chromecast the app crashed and the TV shutdown. 2nd try I got distorted audio to the receiver and to the TV speakers. Audio and Video are fine on all other apps. I can see no other faults.
      I've been Googling this and not seeing much info other than a few threads where people are saying that the LG built-in Chromecast feature does not work. I saw that one person returned his TV and the replacement had the same issue with built-in Chromecast. Most discussions on this issue are hijacked by people using a Chromecast streamer or dongle as opposed to the built-in Chromecast. They often talk about turning off this or that specific Chromecast setting, settings that are not accessible with a TV with built in Chromecast
      In the WebOs when I look at connected source devices Chromecast is there with a "Chromecast Settings" option. The settings have only one option and that is opt-in on sending crash data to Google. Apparently, Google is not monitoring the issue very closely.
      I listen to mostly Hi-Res audio. I wonder if the issue is caused by the bitrate of 24-bit Hi Res flac files. I did notice that when I cast audio that was CD quality (16-bit), the distortion did not occur. This is weird though because in the past I have been able to cast 24-bit audio to Chromecast-enabled devices without any problems.
      My TV says my firmware is up to date. I did not see a prompt to install a firmware update during setup. I've set software and app updates to be automatic.
      Appreciate any help or even a "Hey, it's not just you, this is a known issue, I've got this problem too".

Its unique two-tiered cylindrical design added a stylish touch that accentuated the relaxing ambiance of the room. The stylish LG Stanby ME smart screen, with various customization options and effortless portability, was another popular choice for family homes.
      Another design marvel for the home was the LG Objet Styler, which boasts a modern design with minimalist square edges, resembling a small wardrobe. To ensure it blends effortlessly into any interior, its screen can be hidden away and only appears when touched by the user. Meanwhile, the LG WashTower introduced a “new breeze” to laundry spaces with its stacked washer and dryer design, utilizing a single control panel for optimal cleaning while saving valuable space.

These colors contrast beautifully with natural elements like stone, wood and tiles, enhancing the overall depth of the décor.

      With today’s customers expecting new products to do more with less, the experience space also showcased LG PuriCare Aero Furniture, featuring a unique design that resembles a modern coffee table. Complete with a control panel and a wireless charging pad for smart devices, its cylindrical base purifies the air while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
      This collaboration between LG and AKA exemplifies the ideal home for modern consumers, merging aesthetically pleasing designs with life-enriching functionality. It reflects LG’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the overall user experience while promoting easier interactions with their products.
