Smart TVs are connected wirelessly or wired to a LAN cable. But what if your Smart TV is still buffering? What if your gamers are still laggy? This happens because of a slow internet connection - so here is how to boost your internet speed and get faster wifi so you can fix that!

USB to LAN adaptor: geni.us/USBtoLAN (Affiliate Link)

COMMON SENSE NOTE: There are literally thousands of makes and models of TVs around the world and obviously I can't test them all. You now know the concept of what you are looking for so now read/ Google your own TV's manual to make sure your TV can do this. You can always use the adaptor on other devices like a computer or return it if doesn't work with your particular TV.

    Great tip! Some modern TV's also now have USB 3 ports. Plug the adapter in there for even faster speed than the USB 2's approx 300mbit/s limitation.
  • @ateasoners8583
    Thanks my downloads are only 60 minutes instead of an 1 hour

    My router had a warning for the tv, no matter which port I used, saying to use a better cable that it was only getting 100mbs. I changed changed my cat6 cable thinking it was bad. I reset the tv after going through all my settings and nothing. I went through my router settings and disabled the priatization of streaming over everything else. I rebooted my router. Nothing. I found your video and I'm sold. Thank you sir.
  • Thanks Liron! Saw this vid at the same time I was installing a new modem/router. The combination of connecting the smart TV to the LAN port (2.5G) and carefully placing the modem, and tidying up a few other things saw the speed jump from mid-120s down to a consistent 195mbps. Win!

    Every time I'm watching your videos I feel like I'm in a classroom. Your information always on point and following your instructions makes everything safer. Thank you for sharing.

    I just use 5Ghz, AX standard and I get ~300Mbps on my smart tv (wireless), without any third party devices. I live in Romania (Europe), and I have a 1Gbps subscription plan from my ISP (aprox. 10$/mounth - with the ONT and wifi router included).
  • @damansarajaya88
    Just tried it and wow it at least psychology seem to have unhinged the TV from the router load and my iPhone is loading up faster. I had issues with Zoom stability in past 2 years which I suspect was from heavy use of the router as the whole family is working or studying dependent on WiFi. Will see how this pans out over next few weeks but heck it’s still a great suggestion. Thanks.
  • @nathangood3745
    My TV's wired internet speed just went through the roof!!! Thank you!
  • @NJNinni
    I just wanted to say thank you. Whenever I feel down and depressed, I start watching your videos and within 5 minutes, I feel calm and my depression lifts from me. You're amazing and I tell all my friends all the great ways you've helped me over the last few years, and how watching your videos has kept me out of mental institutions. Thanks again, you are literally a lifesaver.

    This man single handedly saved my online fps game experience. Before, I was suffering from 200+ avg ping, and I searched for answers everywhere. Nothing I tried fixed my ping. Until I found his fix for internet speed, which involved adjusting mtu size. Now I get lower than 60 avg ping, and I can go back to streaming valorant. Thank you so much!!!
  • @johngoard8272
    Well Liron where I live in Australia we still have a 4G network and my download is still only 50Mbs and there is nothing that I can do about it. As for hooking up an Ethernet cable well, that would be extraordinarily difficult for me as my modem is in another room 30 metres away. I am not that savvy and I don't see the issue with upload speeds as mine is usually around 3Mbs. As for the 6G network I cannot see that happening for a very long time as we are so far behind you in the US. Having said that I think your fix for those who can use it - it is fantastic.
  • @Cyba_IT
    Great tip Liron! I would've never tried that because I just assumed tv's aren't "smart" enough to recognise USB ethernet adapters. Obviously I was wrong so great tip. I just have PC's connected to my tv's but this is good to know if a client is having bandwidth issues. Thanks Liron, Happy New Year mate!!
  • @asherdavid4268
    i literally just tried it and it absolutely worked on my LG C9 TV
  • @brianvandy4002
    Your adapter is usb3, but the usb port on the tv is only usb 2, so you're limited to the speed of the usb 2.0 port (max 480mbps). So the gigabit adapter is a bit overkill. You want to find a tv that has usb 3 ports.
  • @TexasFishinGal1
    Wow! I live in a rural area and all I have is the netgear hotspot for unlimited high speed internet. I have Netflix and watching movies is no fun because of the constant buffering. It would take 4 hours to watch an hour and a half movie. I never thought of hard wiring the netgear puck. I just connected the Ethernet cable to the TV and the puck and turned off the Wi-Fi. It worked! Oh my goodness! I can enjoy watching movies again. Why do I need the TV adapter? I wasn’t understanding that part. I’ve just ordered it from Amazon and if it makes it that much better I’m all in. Thank you!
  • @fayfoorer
    Hey Liron, on what brand of TV was this adaptor tested?
  • @markstowe3087
    Liron … I’m truly always amazed at your content/discoveries! Thank you so much!!!
  • @sglenn6
    I ordered the one in your link. It was the "Amazon Basics Aluminum USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter". The one you referenced and showed in your video was the "Rankie USB Network Adapter, USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Internet Adapter". Will either one of these work? Thanks
  • If you use this USB - Lan adapter from your the Ethernet out of your Router, into a USB input on your Smart TV, will it also make the Amazon Firestick (or Android box) plugged into the HDMI of your Smart TV have faster Internet speeds? Also, can you buy an Ethernet signal splitter to split the signal, to hardwire other TV's, Firesticks, or Android boxes around your home, to get better Internet speeds?
