What firestick has a wired connection? I know the fire cube and original fire tv box (not stick) had a wired connection.
If its using a usb/ethernet adapter, it might only be rated to 10/100mbps. So what adapter are you using for the firestick to connect.

Thank you so much. that was it exactly. I connected an android box with out the ethernet and mt speed through the wired connection nearly maxxed out. I am searching for an ethernet adapter that does not throttle down the speed. Thanks

the firestick usb-rj45 adapters are usb 2.0.
And most streaming devices don't need more than 20-40mbps because 4k streams at around 40mbps max.
so why do you need more than the 100mbps connection if the firestick itself doesn't need a faster connection?
