Ethernet 10/100 connection is Ancient!

Every Ethernet connection should be Gigabit on Roku and TVs. 10/100 is Ancient technology. Providers like mine, offer almost 500 GB downloads today.

    Roku's are designed for INTERNET streaming. Even the highest-bandwidth 4K maxes out around 25Mbit.

gsteng It's actually mbps. It's a significant difference between the two numbers, almost a whole decimal position. As stated by andyross, Roku doesn't need more than 100mbps

    That was a typo. I corrected it. Networks today are 1gb or 10gb.

      You don't need gigabit ethernet to stream 4k. Heck 8k TVs have 100 ethernet megabits adapters too. You only need 30 megabits a second for 8k across the internet. If you want a gigabit ethernet you should be an apple TV device.
