Do those adapters work for 2017/2018 Models too? Even if just USB 2.0 connectors it could still be much faster than build-in NIC. I'll try that, buffering is pretty frustrating.
A huge thank you. Will go for that adapter and report back with the results!I just mean not every adapter works with every TV cause they use different chipsets and TV might not be able to communicate with that hardware/adapter, this one works for LG OLED 2017-2019 100% but for yours yoo'll just need to try i guess:

It's a non issue guys.
Nothing the TV is capable of doing will saturate a 100Mb ethernet connection. Moreover, by the time streaming services reach the point they can deliver >100Mb streams, the TV's smart features will have long since become obsolete. The lack of support for smart features once a new model is released should be your main gripe :/
I wouldn't waste money on a USB ethernet adapter. Better of investing that in a 4K Fire Stick or Roku stick. They are only £19.99 last time I checked.
I shoot video using a 4K HCX1000E camera, this produces footage with a bitrate of 158Mb/s, I can play this back over DNLA quite happily using a DMP UB700 bluray player which has a 1G wired network. My TV, UE55HU6900, only has 100Mb wired network, it coughs and splutters with this footage not surprisingly, so if you want quality, 1G wired is essential.
In that case you're a rare exception. Your content is capable of saturating the network port on the TV. But it only applies to that content. It's not going to make a difference to any streaming services, which don't have a bit rate capable of saturating the TV's LAN port. Therefore, for those services, a 1Gb wired connection will not deliver any more quality.
Moreover, have you tried your content over a 1Gb connection? Is the TV capable of decoding and playing a 4k stream with a bit rate of 158Mb's? You may find it is not capable of playing media smoothly at such a high bit rate.

Anyone know if they finally upgraded it on the CX?
