My "Anker 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB Gigabit Ethernet Converter" doesn't get recognized either. Here is a link to the Anker adapter on Amazon (which is not supported)
This sucks... the same adapter DOES work on Nexus Player.
I contacted Xiaomi US Customer Support at service.us@xiaomi.com and they said "I understand your concern and would like to inform you that Mi Box only connects to WiFi as of now." Clearly they don't know what they're talking about...
Yes, might need to get the one used in that Lon review video. Here is the link to Amazon page. $17 is better than a kick to the pants
....
Also, unrelated to ethernet adapter issues, make sure you Uninstall or Disable all the preinstalled apps from the Settings > Apps area.
Pro tip: Disable the "Customization Launcher" app to remove the dumb "Mi Recommends" from leanback home page

If anyone knows where to find the factory image for the Mi Box 4k Android TV, please send a PM.
Cheers
