Can you test speed via USB ethernet? Curious how fast.

I see about 80Mb/s with a http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support...rs/USB300M
as reported by netperf -tTCP_MAERTS running to a netperf server running on my fileserver.

Notes

1) this is a 10/100 adapter
2) this USB adapter is plugged into a wireless bridge (with antennas, so it gets a far better signal than the nexus)
3) this is the same speed reported by the same version of netperf running on my SageTV HD300 box, which is plugged into the same wireless bridge.
4) the HD300 reported 94Mb/s when I lived in my old house with a hard wired ethernet jack by the TV. So the wireless bridge is costing something.

Good to see, thanks for testing. As I already have 4 FTV's (got some for as low as $70), I may get a Nexus Player when its on sale for around $80... I do like its home screen UI over Amazon's.

BTW, I got a kick out of you mentioning SageTV HD300. I had both the HD200 and HD300 at one point. They were definitely unique streamers. Too bad Google didn't really port over some of SageTV's great features to Android TV platform after they acquired them.
