Does Chromecast 3Rd Gen Work With Ethernet Adapter

Among several NUC's at home, I replaced a 5th gen NUC with this 13th gen model. It serves as a media center for my music and photo collection, hence the 1 TB SSD and 16 GB memory. For those unfamiliar with the Intel NUC product line, they are small (4x4), very quiet, well-engineered and supported by a three-year warranty. Over the years, I have installed dozens for customers and not a single one has failed so far. The performance is impressive. The clip that keeps the power cord from inadvertently being yanked out is a fairly recent and useful addition. Intel has excellent documentation (assembly instructions, product specs) that I recommend. During installation of Windows 11, neither the wired Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi adapter were recognized which required an Ethernet-to-USB adapter. Others may add the network drivers during installation. Installing the Intel Driver & Support Assistant gets the optimal BIOS, firmware and drivers in place. Now that Intel has sold the NUC line to Asus, I hope that they will continue the development and support of this great product.

This works just like the regular chromecast, but you can (optionally) plug in a wired ethernet, reducing the load on your wifi and improving its reliability.� In addition it's noticeably snappier.� I guess it has a faster processor. Not sure if it's really worth the extra cost...the regular chromecast does everything I really need...but this is a little better than the regular chromecast.

I had the first gen lens, so this 3rd gen lens is a huge improvement.

It's incredibly easy and fast to use. And this version has 4k 60fps support (tested with Youtube, it's amazing) and has an ethernet port in the charger (which then forwards to to the chromecast through the micro USB plug). Only thing is: you cannot use the USB port on your TV to power the chromecast if you want ethernet. You have to use the charger for that, which takes up yet another power socket.

I have a first-gen Chromecast, and comparing to that one, the Chromecast Ultra is definitely much faster. One minor issue is that you have to use the USB charger in the box. Use other power supply won't give you the 4K output (a warning message will be shown on TV).

I was so pleased with the standard Chromecast (2nd gen) that I bought the Ultra version for use with my 4K TV. One thing I was surprised to learn was I was able to broadcast the entire desktop and not just what was under the Chrome browser. I relegated the 2nd gen to use at our astronomy club and ue it for demonstrations. Very effective.

Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

I'm using this with my Macbook Air that only has USB-C ports and no ethernet port. This adapter worked right out of the box to give me an ethernet connection. Just plugged the ethernet cable in to the adapter, connected the adapter to the CPU's USB-C port, and my computer connected to my work network flawlessly. The wifi at my work is not great, so this adapter is giving me a fast network connection now through ethernet. I did a speed test and I'm getting approximately 500mbps upload/download speeds with this adapter, which is fantastic. I also appreciate that the adapter has LED indicators. One light shows there is a connection (green). The middle light shows there is power (White/blue). And the 3rd light blinks orange to show there is activity. Having these lights could come in handy if I need to trouble shoot, which is very helpful. The build quality is also really good. This feels like it will last a long time. The cable seems sturdy and the ethernet cable plugs in securely into the adapter's port. Overall, I'm happy with this adapter and it is working very well. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Nice little adapter. Works as advertised. If the main ethernet port fails, this is a very useful tool to have to make sure you get your work done on time...

Does everything that Roku + Chromecast ultras do plus more. Blazingly fast! I am not a gamer, but bought the additional gaming controller for my grandkids. Love it!!!
