-Firestick #2 is in the basement and is hard wired, and I have bought the official Amazon ethernet adaptor.
For some reason, Firestick #2, the hardwired one, cannot handle 4K videos that seem to be above 55-60GB in size. I get constant buffering (maybe every 3-5 minutes), making those high resolution movies unwatchable.
Upstairs, the wi-fi connected Firestick works absolutely perfect….
The Amazon adapter is only 100M. You need a gigabit adapter.
Over WiFi the stick can do >200M.
