Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Amazon Fire TV Stick
Lasted for more than a year. Didnt expect much beyond that. it starts with transmission loss and flickering and then it goes dead.
OK for purpose, Price is too high
When trying to press the center circular button on my fire stick, invariably one of the buttons on the sides gets pressed along with that.
Decent cover for the over priced Fire stick Voice remote. This is leathery feel and has transparent layer for the buttons and space for Mic.It would have been better if the transparent layer is a bit longer and the bottom end they key spacings are carved exactly inorder to use in dark.It provides a decent protection unlike a traditional remote cover which provided good protection
It’s a good case overall. The plastic covering the remote dial is a bit thick and if your thumb isn’t correctly positioned on the dial you could hit the wrong side of the dial and click on something else. I get it that the plastic is for protection but it hampers the use in some form.
1st of all, this product is awesome.We can connect our ETHERNET LAN CABLE to Amazon Firestick.Speed is good.Cost is 1500 which is far less than 4000 for the original Amazon Firestick LAN extension.5 stars.
Expensive, it should be around 500 rupees to be worth the value
I bought this product out of haste. I pre ordered Fire stick 4K and everybody was telling wired connection is good for consistent net connection. So I bought it before my fire stick arrived. To my surprise it didn’t bring any vast changes and it feels clumsy. Not recommended for Fire stick 4K as the wifi connectivity is already good.
Excellent
The cable solved the problem of connection Fire TV stick to my Led TV as there was hardly any space to plug in fire stick. Thanks Amazon again for a quality product.

Really super,great quality..
It did not work at first on my Mac Air. After installing the driver for Mac (came with the order itself, also downloadable from online) it worked like magic.
Item as described. Suitable for all old computers using USB 2.0 ports.Package includes driver CD for different operating systems and instruction manuals.Easy installation procedure.Caution: Install driver first then plug in the adaptor.Great value for money item. Delivered in good time and great pacakging.Durability is to be seen.
Ethernet card without having one! Now my pc can have multiple Ethernet cards, I can bridge two broadbands and create a powerful bridge even with a raspberry pi, kudos, just my usb enough to get another network card, kudos again
I have an ‘All-new Kindle(8th gen)’, for which I bought this Amazon’s original power adapter. I expected a good experience from this power adapter, however I was disappointed as when I charged my Kindle with this adapter, the very next day I got to see that my Kindle has got slow and laggy. I was confused whether this was my Kindle’s fault or the adapter’s. So I continued charging with this, and saw that my Kindle is still getting laggy just after charging. So, I went back to charging my Kindle with my phone’s charger, and there I see that the Kindle is no more getting slow after charging. I never expected this kind of experience from an original product from Amazon(not to mention the unreasonably high price!), and am highly disappointed, as now I can not even return it back to Amazon. 🙁
I bought this because the one which came with my fire tv stick is gone in less than 6 months. Don’t know how many days it will last. I feel this item is too pricey.
Initially help desk recommended this adapter for Amazon fire stick, its not compatible with fire stick later I had to return it.

This is only a USB to Ethernet adapter.It does not include the adapters shown on the pictures. I ordered thinking what was shown in the pictures is what I get. So I had to return it. Also the price is high.
This device has infact reduced the buffering time to zero
This product made my fire tv stick from buffering to zero/negligible buffering. The position of Wifi router and fire tv stick in my house is such that the fire tv couldn’t get a good signal. I used to get around 8-12Mbps speed using wifi. After using this adapter I am getting 65-70 Mbps. Content is loading very fast, fast-forwarding is very smooth. Overall a great experience. This product is highly recommended if your fire tv is having a poor wifi signal.

It does work as it is supposed to, but I made a very stupid mistake and hope nobody else makes the same mistake. I really wanted a USB hub on my 5.25″ front panel and failed to notice that the one I ordered is a 3.5″ unit! Consequently I had to order some kind of adapter for this to fit into my 5.25″ front panel, but I couldn’t cover the yawing gaps all around. As I said, My Mistake! Can’t blame anybody for this. So, be careful about what you order matches the dimensions you need.
A very good product form QuantumZERO. Good writing speed about 35 Mbps on USB 3.0 pendrive and 75 Mbps on WD external HD.Sturdy and good looking, Neatly packed along with screws and instructions.I was looking for this type of product for my desktop. My Mobo have provision for USB 3.0 but my cabinet was not having USB 3.0 headers on front, and I was using USB 3.0 extension cord from backside.I had to do a little work on these, as there was no floppy drive in my cabinet. So I used my DVD drive space to fit this, with a little bit of work using Aluminium C channels (2.3 – 2.5 cm wide), everything went fine and I am happy with this product.Attaching images after fitting these.Fixing tips 1 – Buy Aluminium C channel of approx 2.5 cm width from any hardware or glass shops, Cut slightly more than the USB hub, mark screw holes, fix it in USB hub, Then place the USB hub and channel in line with the DVD slot cover, (the hub shoud not protrude outside).Take scew hole measurement with the cabinet and fix it, cut the DVD slot cover with a needle file. (First put a hole and file it just for the USB portions). Now the cabinet will not feel any extra fitting.Fixing method 2 – You can also fix this with aluminium strip, just bend the strip as given in image. the rest procudure same as above.
My Quantum ZERO QZ-AD03 USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet [3.5 inch builtin Cable] (quite a mouthful, isn’t it? So I’ll just call it the Quantum ZERO!) arrived today – a full 2 days before delivery date, despite the All India Bandh. I lost no time in opening the package and connecting it up to my Surface Pro 4.I was first-off pleased with the match between the Magnesium of my SP4 and the Quantum Adapter’s Aluminum finish, next, a bit wary about the weight – shucks, it weighed quite a lot more than the cheap, plastic Adapters (one from Frontech, the other, also from Quantum) I had been using in the past. And, cost almost twice both the Adapters put together too!The fact is, neither of these plasticky Adapters worked for more than a year and would frequently disconnect – go out for a smoke, return in 10 Minutes, and I had to pull it out, wait a few seconds and then push it back in to the USB Slot, for it to work again! Hence the decision to go in for the Quantum ZERO…I’ll have to wait for about a year to confirm whether the Quantum ZERO is more durable than the plasticky Adapters in the market, but this one DOES NOT disconnect when I go out for some ‘fresh air’, that’s for sure! (3 Cigarette trips certainly establish that!)I’m already used to the extra weight too, and love the tiny, bright status lights on the Adapter too!All in all, a 5-Stars Product, may buy one more just as a stand-by!!
