Reddit mentions of UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter 10/100/1000 Gigabit Network Converter with USB 3.0 Hub 3 Ports Compatible for Nintendo Switch, Windows Surface Pro, MacBook Air/Retina, iMac Pro, Chromebook, PC

The licensed LAN adapters are pretty overpriced as they are. Most LAN adapters that are compatible with Switch can be found for far less than the standard Hori

I personally use one of these

Anything with an AX88179 chipset would work. UGreen and Pluggable seem to be popular brands. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - I figured the extra USB ports might be nice to have if I want to run 2 gamecube adapters

An alternative would be the Bionik ethernet adapter, which fits entirely in the dock so it's a bit cleaner: https://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Soundbar-Home-Speaker-BNK-9018/dp/B07583N38P/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1542675672&sr=8-7&keywords=bionik+switch

Mi Box S is the next and cheaper alternative for Android TV. It has 4K and HDR but no ethernet adaptor, you should be able to add one by getting an ethernet adapter (Ugreen brand works perfectly for Mi Box users):

You should be able to get one on Amazon

Ethernet Only ($13)

Ethernet w/ USB 3.0 ($20)

​

If you will be mostly streaming or watching you should be fine with a Mi Box.

Ethernet port for the Mi Box solved. It's solid. Been working on both my Mi Box's for over a month with no downtime.

Of course it can! hubs dont need drivers. I use this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU/

you get a usb ethernet and a hub all in one :D

However, there isnt a game that really supports 8 controllers right now. Bomberman really only supports 4 sets of joycons which they translate L and R joycons inputs seperately even though they are paired in sets. so it's really a hack rather than true 8 controller support. you'll probably get at most 4 controllers on a hub.

ive tried a lot of usb/ethernet adapters.. the reliable was the above one

I can confirm the Bluetooth version (Rii I8+ BT) DID NOT WORK. It would not pair with the Mibox. I'm using the only USB slot for the wifi version of that remote (Rii I8+ Wifi confirmed working). I ordered the item below for a combined ethernet with 3 additional USB ports. Also ordered a Gamesir GS3. Will report if that works.

This is the popular one used with the Mi Box:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LLUEJFU/

If the USB port does not provide enough power, plug in one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QV5Q5HU/

Lack of updates, no ethernet (had to buy a USB one since the WiFi was pretty unreliable), glitchy video and sound, crashes and freezes randomly, and a few other reasons i can't think of ATM.

Anything with the ASIX AX88179 chipset should work fine.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFJ0RKE/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LLUEJFU/

All of the above should work with any Android based device. (ie. Shield TV, Mi Box or Fire TV)

You need to get the usb ethernet adapater with an Asix 88179 chip. This supports wake up from suspend.

17 bux on amazon to never have to worry about wifi in my living room. On the go, well that's another story. But at least playing on the tv there is no longer an issue.

You should be able to stream 4K even on 50 mbps speed but if you still want improved speed then you may TRY (i'm not sure it'd work) this UGREEN USB 3.0 Ethernet+USB combo. This works with MiBox as expected so it may also work with your Sony TV.

I've had success with the ugreen with both the Mibox and Nintendo Switch : https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Ethernet-1000Mbps-Windows10-Nintendo/dp/B00LLUEJFU

Sorry, the USB adaptor I purchased is this

That is a a Gigabit adaptor.

I understand the port to the Firestick is only USB 2.0 but that still has a theoretical speed of 480mbs.

I would rather have a hardwired 480mbs connection Vs Wifi.

Not a problem. I will say I haven't pushed it to the very edge of what it claims in terms of support for 4k super ultra mega UHD dolby whatever, so bear in mind I can't really speak for that. But I think you'll do well with the mi box. If you want ethernet, I bought a UGreen USB 3.0 Hub that includes an RJ45 jack, and it works well.

Sure. This is it

https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-1000Mbps-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00LLUEJFU/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=usb+ugreen+ethernet&qid=1568996801&s=gateway&sr=8-13

Here's a list of adapters with that chipset on Amazon. I've noticed this one a couple times. My main concern is whether or not the cable is long enough to use with the Switch dock without having to leave the back flap open.

When I had a MiBox I bought this one
https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Network-Adapter-Ethernet-1000Mbps/dp/B00LLUEJFU

Worked great and is external powered (not required for just Ethernet) so the USB hub will work great too.

CABLED MOUSE AND KEYBOARD WORKS WITH FIRE STICK!!!!!

If anyone ever find this, it seems there is no big problem if you just put in an cabled USB Keyboard/mouse into the stick via OTG Cable and/or a USB HUB.

I just did put an random cabled Keyboard/Mouse(5€) into the hub/OTG and it worked, the mouse did took some minutes, or i had to restart the stick, before it worked.
I have not tested much arround if how good it works in all the apps.
Only Problem so far, there seem to be no Home or Return Key Combination, while im in an app, i have to use The TV Remote, or Stick TV Remote for that so far.

The HUB also worked with mouse/Keyboard and LAN connected at the same time, cause there can be problems if there is not enough power from the FIRE STICK TV Power supply.

I USED THIS CABLE

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00V9XS4V4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

AND THIS HUB

yeah, you can search on amazon. there are several that are compatible. I bought this one, because it has a usb hub too for charging pro controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU

Here's the link, I bought this one too. Works great. Yea, the MiBox is USB 2, so you won't get the full gigabit speed, but I get more than 100Mbit/s. Doing a speedtest via fast.com on my 150 mbps connection, I get what I do via a PC about 160... IMO, it's worth it to get the usb 3 gigabit adapter, you won't get gigabit speed, but you'll get more than 100mbit which is what you'd cap yourself at with a usb 2 adapters.

The reason I got mine was for some reason the mi box was messing up my router's 5 ghz network. If I left the mi box on the 2.5 Ghz network, everything would work fine, but then I'd get speed issues with it buffering more. Switch to 5 Ghz, buffering went away but randomly usually every 2-6 hours, my router's 5 Ghz network would stop working and then suddenly come back after 15 minutes... Switched the mi box to ethernet and disabled wifi and no more problems.

I've got one of these. I think I was getting 90MBytes/s in Linux. No extra drivers required.

I like to use both my front USB ports and a game cube adapter so I bought this on amazon, plug it into the back and you got a LAN adapter plus room for a game cube adapter while leaving the front open for pro controller charging, ect.

This one seems pretty good to me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here but I really like that it also gives you some extra usb slots along with being an ethernet adapter. Something to think about assuming it's fully compatible.

I purchased this USB 3.0 hub when I first got the Mibox a few months ago and it is working great.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLUEJFU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I still have an issue with certain types of videos, I got a free Vudu movie (Tmo Tuesdays last week) I chose the HDX version and even though I was wired, it was pixelating every 5 seconds, tried casting it, same issue. Since I got the HDX version I was able to choose the SD version as , I had to do this via the app on my Android phone and cast it and it worked great. Only issue so far.

I've got this one, and I haven't noticed my Switch running hot at all. The dock is placed behind my tv with plenty of ventilation though.

Is this adapter fine if I also want more usb ports?

They have one without the Ethernet adapter for about $12

They sure do.

I bought: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet-1000Mbps-Nintendo-Chromebook/dp/B00LLUEJFU

Which I like over the non hub versions as I like the added ports and use an 8bitdo adapter that I leave plugged in to it.

I’m playing on a MacBook Pro that has windows installed on it, so I don’t have a Ethernet port. However, I do have a USB to Ethernet adapter https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Ethernet-1000Mbps-Windows10-Nintendo/dp/B00LLUEJFU/ref=asc_df_B00LLUEJFU/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=293008414058&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16694141174177941372&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000476&hvtargid=pla-445007008012&psc=1. Should I use this?

I have this one which works pretty well : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00LLUEJFU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_E2EEDb2M7GJK6

I went through 3 different adapters trying to find one that worked, and here’s what I learned.

The best ways to tell if a LAN adapter works with the Switch is either that it has “for Nintendo Switch” in the name or that it specifically uses the ASIX AX88179 chipset. Usually the chipset will either be in the product specifications, or you can just copy and paste it into your search and many will have the chipset in the title.

The adapter I ended up getting that worked is this one. That however also has three extra USB ports. If you don’t need that, they make a cheaper base model here. If you really want to stay below $15, I would say that’s your best bet.

Hope that helped.
