  1. Follow up: so I connected the Ethernet cable to a USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter and plugged it in to the TV's USB port. My download speed went from 95 Mbps to 346 Mbps. The reason it didn't go higher (it's a 1 Gbps fiber connection) is, I think, because the TV uses USB 2.0 version in its ports, which aren't capable of 1 Gbps speeds. But for $14 I essentially more than tripled my download speed.
  2. This is a great solution to getting around the 100 Mbps limit on the TV's Ethernet connection. I have a 1 Gbps fiber connection and have been frustrated by this limit -- even though my LG webOS OLED TV is wired into the router using Cat 5e cable I only get about 100 Mbps and sometimes experience buffering when streaming movies. So I'm definitely trying this. BTW, you can test speed using Speedtest by Ookla, available here: https://www.speedtest.net/. As long as you can pull up a web browser on your TV you can use this site.
