Just want to be sure I’m reading this correctly. The USB adapter will eork on the TCL Roku TV? I have a TCL 40S325 but with no ethernet port and no wifi access. Also, should i do a factory reset to get it going? Thanks!!!

mikevio16  Yes, it does work, specifically with the Plugable USB 2.0 to Ethernet adaptor. You are supposed to just be able to do a system restart and it will pick it up. But if that doesn’t work, the factory reset worked for me.  Every once in a while, I have to do a system restart again for it to pick it up. But not very often. I would say 1 in 10 times that I turn on the TV I have to do that.

      If your TV has usb 2.0 it will be worse than the wireless connection, tried it on my model 32S327 and it kept freezing then restarting the tv.  And that is with dsl at 60mbps bandwidth.
