I'll update this thread with the results. I'm about to download the jellyfish 4K bitrate files to see at what point it breaks - but 170 Mbps - I think I'll be safe for a while. Interestingly, you have to turn OFF both the wifi and ethernet (disable the port/unplug) for it to work - but everything works just fine thus far. So I purchased an Anker USB 3.0 to Gig Ethernet adapter (Model A7610) - plugged it into the USB 2.0 Port on the TV, turned on the TV and it worked first time !Įthernet connection is now 1 Gig, but of course as the TV only has USB 2.0 - an nperf/ speedtest is only getting 170 Mbps down - but that is still a significant improvement over 100Mbps Ethernet which only gets about 94 Mbps on the same speedtest. My C8 only has USB 2.0 (again, on a very expensive 2018 TV - really LG?) but even on half duplex, this should be ~200 Mbps, better than the 100 Mbps of the Ethernet. While this provides perfectly acceptable throughput for internet based 4K streaming, on high quality native (REMUX) 4K movies streamed locally from Emby - this bandwidth is sometimes not sufficient. So I've seen an increasing number of threads highlighting the limitations of LG's (and other manufacturers) decision to only use a 100Mbit Ethernet port.
