Fixes WiFi issues… So i’ve had the Fie for a couple of months… The whole time I’ve had it, I’ve had to reboot about 3-4 times a day! Tried everything 2.4 – 5ghz and both worked the same – poorly…If I could only connect by ethernet? The newest Fire no longer has an ethernet port, so that’s out.Back-up I ALWAYS have an issue with WiFi because I live in Apt. complex and am surrounded by WiFi and everything has an issue with signals being interfered with… I know I know, 5ghz is supposed to be better… it’s not.So I plugged this in, and immediately connect to the internet and don’t have to reboot 4-5 times a day… just plug it in, plug in Fire stick, and router gives it an IP, and boom! I’m online and not struggling with WiFi working when it wants to. No configuring, just plug in the network cable, plug in power, plug in the FIre, that’s it.

An Essential Component that still doesn’t exist. I was very skeptical of the naysayers, claiming better performance on WIFI than on this ethernet adapter. While the theoretical speeds of AC are faster that 100Mbps, the realities frequently result in any wired connection being more consistent and stable than a wireless connection.Except this one.Hoping to enjoy an evening of streaming content without buffering I excitedly connected this adapter to my firestick and then my ethernet cable to the adapter. Setup was certainly easier than WIFI as none was required. I queued up a video from my file share and pressed play. Almost immediately the video buffered. Not looking so great. I waited for the first buffer to load and hoped it would be the last but soon the video became unwatchable. Disheartened I disconnected the adapter. The Firestick immedaiately went to my 5GHz WIFI and starting the video again it began to play, much more smoothly than with the wired adapter. However, it again began to buffer. I…
