5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, no more buffering. Sorry back story needed

I purchased a newer fire stick. My wife and I both have prime membership. We have used her account and firesticks/tablets linked to her account. We actually live in town, not a major metropolitan area, and only have access to 2 internet service providers here. Long story short, they both suck. We travel often, and we have come to the previous conclusion based on real experiences, not just complaining about it. No matter how many times the tech comes out and plugs this in, adjust that, supplies a new modem, wifi booster, or whatever else they try and upset. It is all for nothing. We have 3 daughters, all of which have their very own interests, and as you can imagine, bad service plus tech driven family equals, well it equals some tempers and fights.
Now you understand that I live in Crazyville, just like everyone else, you can see the dilemma.
This has actually changed everything for us. We had hard connections for internet at our "smart" televisions, and the service still was not very good, especially right after school.
That all being said, I absolutely will purchase more of these, they work amazingly, and there is no longer any problems in the living room, and surrounding rooms.
We are going to install one, if not two, more upstairs, however, tge cost is the deciding factor. The purchase price is my only problem with this item, it's a little steep. I say that because my youngest is 4 and oldest is 9, so my kids are still in destruction phase, and with prices rising on all consumer products, it's hard to just go through with the purchase.
I don't know why wev are like that, we just are. We know the solution to the problem, however things seem to be functioning at a "tolerable level", I COMPLETELY disagree with the statement, or so I am told. That is my only complaint. To purchase the remaining four needed, the boss says no, has a significant enough cost to hold off on the purchase.
So in closing, if your having any issues with internet service, or want a faster wifi available for other uses, then this IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED!!!! It is worth the price of the ibuprofen you keep taking for your headache, even though the boss doesnt think so. I highly recommend this thing, I just have to figure a way to sneak them past her, it is the answer your looking for.

Was having difficulty with the old adapter, male mini plug sheath came loose.
The 3rd associate to help me, Mvelo from Amazon support team in South Africa did a great job!!
When the adapter arrived, I disconnected the old set up and plugged my Ethernet cable in to it, then the mini power connector, and plugged it all into my HDMI port, turned on the set and it worked perfect.
Just the way things should be :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not a waste of $$ or TIME on the untrustworthy Amazon Ethernet Adapter!?

Edit Update 20211118:
Could be 5stars but reduced back to 4 as the latest interface has some major issues.

So the issues with the Ethernet Adapter were fixed about 6 months ago, as the 2nd Gen Firestick had worked well with the Ethernet Adapter since then. However, there are occasional glitches, so I ran tests and keep a background internet speed app running at all times. It appears some Apps just have their own issues and the device itself is working well with the Firestick in the most distant bedroom. So this would raise the device itself to Five stars.

However, the 2021 November Firestick interface revision has many issues. While conceptually good, (after the learning curve,) it has definitely got major bugs EVEN AFTER last night's Bug Fix update.

1) The App Image displays from ALL SELECTIONS and even the ads at the top of the screen, are ALL BLANK after turning off the TV while in the menu, when turning the TV back on if one doesn't put the Firestick in sleep mode.
The only way to recover is REBOOT Firestick!

IS IT A MEMORY ISSUE DUE TO INCREASED REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT NOTIFYING USERS OF THE NEW REQUIREMENT AND TELLING US TO MAKE MORE SPACE OR SOME OTHER BUG??

2) Same missing App Image Displays, but this is intermittent. It occurs after using an App, whether it be a game or streaming service. Same fix via Firestick REBOOT.

3) BLUETOOTH connection takes longer and instead of auto connect with installed devices, intermittently I now must manually choose my device and select it multiple times, when I want to use my headphones or other devices that used to connect automatically without an issue.

4) AMAZON CHANNELS interface for Paramount+ is horrible. I will discontinue using this App under Amazon, as I only tried it this way for the IMDB and information about the people involved. However, the IMDB is extremely limited. It isn't worth losing access to a much better interface in the full PARAMOUNT+ App. Don't know if this related to the new interface or something else, but it is worth noting. I must use ALEXA to find half the programs now!

Because of the bugs, reduced down to 4 stars.

Edit Update:
As of the latest Amazon Firestick TV operating system upgrade with the "Live" TV category, I decided to retest my 2nd Gen Firestick with the Amazon Ethernet adaptor. It now appeared as connected by Ethernet when I plugged it inline, connected the Ethernet cable, and restarted the Firestick. It still didn't work 100% of the time, even with the shorter original power cable, but now the issue seemed to be strictly "internet connectivity" when it failed, as opposed to not being seen as a device.
The issue there is that you must disconnect the Ethernet cable for the Firestick to allow choosing a Wi-Fi network when the Ethernet fails to connect. Both connections go through the same router network, so I believe there is still some issue with the adapter, or I got a lemon.
I'll try it on a 3rd generation Firestick (all 1080P versions) soon. Hope this review is helpful!
===================Original Review===========================
I live in an apartment complex with far too many competing signals on 2.4 & 5mhz. I run Ethernet 10/100/1000 switches and Cat6 or better cables everywhere. This Amazon Ethernet Adapter device was NEVER recognized by my Amazon 2nd Gen Alexa Fire Stick!!

The port lit up as 10/100 on my switch to witch the Amazon Ethernet Adapter was connected. It did pass through the power to my Fire Stick. However, no matter how many times I restarted or cold booted the Adapter & Fire Stick in varying sequences, the Fire Stick have no indication of Wired Ethernet Connection, always indicating the "Wireless" networks only!! I even tried alternate Ethernet Switch ports, alternate
cables (including Cat5,) and rebooting my entire network...nothing worked. The port would light up for the port of the cable to the Amazon Ethernet Adapter, but never blink to indicate data passing through the port either.

So which is defective: The Amazon Ethernet Adapter, the Amazon 2nd gen Alexa Fire Stick, or Amazon's driver/OS software for their devices??

As the Amazon 2nd gen Alexa Fire Stick has had multiple upgrades from Amazon to its OS (operating system) since buying it AND the Amazon Ethernet Adapter, I will rule out the driver/OS as the suspected problem. That only leaves one of the pieces of hardware from Amazon. In the mean time, I moved my Fire Stick with an HDMI extension cable, then put it back at the TV after later moving my household Wi-Fi broadcast location to an Access Point, so the Wi-Fi is working relatively well.

We do still enjoy using the Amazon 2nd Gen Alexa Fire Stick for most of our HE streaming, and my kids still use the older 1st gen Fire Stick (though I replaced that remote once....kids will be kids and "accidentally" break stuff. LOL).

I recommend a Wi-Fi repeater, Access Point, or simply upgrade your Router, as opposed to wasting money and even more valuable: Your TIME! Do not purchase this untrustworthy piece of technology: The Amazon Ethernet Adapter. 👎
