No Ethernet port on 32 frame tv

[David10001]

Hi. All my larger frame tv’s have Ethernet ports but just purchased a 32 inch version and want to hard wire my internet connection with cat6, but it doesn’t have a. Ethernet port?? I see I can purchase a Ethernet to either hdmi or usb converter but is it that simple.?

any solution welcome and thank you.

Hi
You can get an adapter
You just plug in

Thanks Steve. Much appreciated. Sorry if being a trifle dim, but can I use either hdmi or usb and plug it into any port? I read that I need a LAN port and my one box doesn’t have any saying LAN ?

Hi David, did you figure this out? Just bought a 32” and realized it doesn’t have an Ethernet jack.

No Sam, just what’s on here. Going to buy the suggested cable and let you know!

For what it is worth, I just tried a third party USB-to-Ethernet adapter and it does not work. The TV insists on using a WiFi connection, doesn't even acknowledge the presence of the cord.

I tried this also thinking USB to Ethernet cable would work, it didn't. I just viewed prime on my tv via my laptop with a hdmi to hdmi cable. But looks like I will need a wifi wireless adapter for a solution, as I could not see a LAN / ethernet port on my tv a samsung eur49m5000ak, I think it was the last of just before every tv being smart.

Yep, tried this and as everyone suggests. It doesn’t work. Can’t believe a tv these days doesn’t allow this. Going to have to buy a Wi-Fi extender I think and leave it. Waste of money installing the cat 6 cable to this room..!

Looked at this but the link appears to be a dongle not an adapter

I actually got my hands on this one and it doesn't work. You're stuck with Wifi only.
