Has anyone tried to use an USB Ethernet Adapter for 4K high bitrate videos?
The same USB3.0 adapter I have used with Fire TV Stick 4k (No issues there) - with the new Cube the results are bad (3.5-5MB/s so the videos are buffering, stuttering or even pausing a lot).

Thank you for the detailed answers.
At the moment I have both the Anker and the original boxed Ethernet adapter - both behaves like 10/100 adapters (so the Anker works, just slower than I'd expect and than it was working with the Fire TV stick 4k).
Could be that Amazon would fix this in a later Fire TV Cube firmware release.
That's the single (not too disturbing) issue, at the moment, with the Cube 2019. I have it just since Friday so I'll use it longer before drawing a conclusion.

That’s bad.
Even with a 2.0 port and a gigabit adapter, you can theoretically get upto 480 Mbps though.

Me again with some issues from this evening:
- Kodi 18.7 Leia has audio problems on the new Cube (it's actually really picky on audio formats, unexpected)
- AAC3 with or without passthrough doesn't work (no audio, DD+ is shown on the receiver)
- some videos with Dolby Digital audio do not have sound at all, but some do
- Dolby True HD is decoded to (L)PCM but not always
No audio issues in any other app (Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+)
Tried to used the Kodi 18.6 (which worked flawlessly on the Fire TV stick 4k) but couldn't Install it over the 18.7 for some reason.
