- NO (GigaE) Ethernet - unless you buy an extra $20+ USB-C adapter.
Why is 1Gbps Ethernet needed on a device type like this?
Isn't 100Mbps is fast enough to stream video services like Netflix and cloud gaming services like Stadia,
A bunch of things you are mentioning have nothing at all to do with Kodi.
Please explain why 1Gbps Ethernet is in fact needed in an Android TV device for Kodi? Put it this way, if everything else is equal on two Android TV devices, does one having 1Gbps Ethernet really make it a better Android TV device for Kodi?
PS: Google Chromecast with Google TV does feature 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz) so its WiFi should at least push 500Mbps if not more (unless really badly placed).
