FYI: the LG the user had in his post on the PLEX.TV forums was an LG 65UJ750V. Another user found this type also useful on a similar LG TV: "if the TV carries a USB3 port get something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NPJP33M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My LG just went from its native ethernet limit up to 160Mbps. Batman Gotham by Gaslight (being the highest bitrate I have) now happily plays back on my LG without any hint of a buffer. Its still gonna be the ATV 4K as my default, however I can now play all Dolby Vision files in Plex on my LG" NOTE: a more up to date adaptor is also available, may be better still.

Someone got a device working on an LG TV, but i did not see a model mentioned. It HAS to go into the USB 3.0 port though, so if you TV has one, give it a go. https://forums.plex.tv/t/smart-tv-1gbps-network-connection-no-more-buffering/439111

Absolutely agree. The market for people streaming local content at higher bandwidth than 100Mbps is very slim, and if you deducts the pirates I believe it approximates zero. So LG probably decided to skip gigabit in the believing that those watching high bandwidth content would do so using blue ray. But the original question about USB2 Ethernet dongles is interesting. USB2 at 400Mbps would be more than enough, and we have all seen devices with “secret” drivers. Like for instance the Chromecast with USB2ethernet support. I unfortunately only have a 100Mbps usb dongle and a thunderbolt. But if anybody has a gigabit USB dongle please try it out and report back.
