On my 55S450G, the 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet jack is a disappointing bottleneck to my costly fiber-optic internet service. Will any cheap USB3-to-Gigabit adapter be stable, or is there a specific brand or technology that is preferred above others for my TCL? null

Question

Accepted Answer

So far, thru the USB 3.0 port on my TCL 44S450G, I got 415down / 270up with a USB-A to RJ-45 1Gb Ethernet adapter and a CAT6 cable to my gigabit router. The adapter is made by WALNEW and uses an RTL8153 chip. I tested using the Analiti ap installed on the TV. My ISP tests 850down / 920up on my PC. Adapters that use the AX88179 chip do not work as well. hth

Also ... Settings / System / Developer Options / Select USB Configuration / RNDIS (USB Ethernet) ... then turn the TV OFF, and then turn the TV back ON.

For hardwired Internet, you would need to use the Ethernet port. To stream in 4K, the TV only requires 25Mbps. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
