If you're using a wired connection, it will never be faster than that. Roku devices with a network jack use Fast Ethernet, which maxes out at 100 Mbps. With normal network overhead, you're seeing it as fast as possible. If you're wireless, there's a multitude of reasons you might not see anything higher than you do. But that would require a discussion about your access points, the settings in the radios, the security settings, and more.

That's what I was seeing a lot all over, the TV's NIC. Guess we get spoiled because we have fiber now. Just for the **bleep** of it I had even tried switching my shotty BGW210 to Full Duplex over Auto Negotiating. No dice.

Yes, I'll accept the device doesn't have a gig port . Thanx 👍

It’s the port on the TV which is not a gig port.  Very few TVs at the moment make one.  At some point but not for a while.

Go thru the USB port instead. 😉

Roku TV's have a USB 2.0 port with a maximum port speed of 48O megabits a second. So, 480 megabits a second is the fastest the USB 3.0 gigabit adapter attached to a Roku TV could ever go.  Do you know if the adapter is compatible with Roku devices?

I've tried playing some high bitrate videos directly from the USB port on my Ultra. It could play the 180 Mbps clip, but not the 250 Mbps clip. I wouldn't expect any USB Ethernet adapter to do better than 200 Mbps at best.

As mentioned before, if you're only streaming content from the Internet, you'll never saturate the Fast Ethernet connection of the Roku. I've never encountered anything online that streams faster than around 20 Mbps, which is way below the limit of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). If you're streaming from a local media server, then that's when it's possible to exceed 100 Mbps. But only with ripped UHD content. The highest bitrate I've ever seen with ripped 1080 Blu ray movies was around 50 Mbps.

Does that mean I can get 480 via USB port.?

  My issue is that I get buffering when watching tv (YouTube TV, etc) even if it's hardwired. If it's not a speed issue what could it be.?
• I have a TCL (65R635) with Roku built in (Roku A114x).
