Since it's just a 10/100 adapter, maybe the USB C port is running at USB 2.0 speeds?
In which case, a faster third party adapter won't make a noticeable difference.
This is absolutely terrible news... Why on earth would they choose a 100mbps chipset for this adapter? Why Google?!?!? My poor Plex needs gigabit speed!!!
40% overprice for 100Mbps Ethernet, wonder what would have been the overprice if included like in Chromecast Ultra.
Has anyone tested a gigabit adapter and confirmed the Chromcast itself is not gimped at 100mbps?
Warning that the specs clearly say it only supports 10/100 ethernet, which is 100 mbps max, unlike most ethernet adapters which support the full 10/100/1000 gigabit ethernet connection.
This is the same as the included adapter with the Chromecast Ultra, but something to be aware of.
Edit : One option I've found is this Belkin adapter with gigabit ethernet + power delivery for $35

If anyone sees a better option, let me know.
