So I ordered the ethernet adapter as some sort of interference causes my wifi to disconnect intermittently on the CCGT. I have it plugged in to an unmanaged switch, and I cannot get it to recognize the ethernet. I have reset it, used a different ethernet cable (CAT5E), tried the same switch ports with different devices (they work). Any tips? Thanks
Here you go
Weird, had no problems with mine. Only issue is it disconnects upon a restart, I have to unplug and plug back the ethernet cable to the ethernet adapter and all will be good.
it worked perfectly since 1st boot (3rd march 2021) . Today it stopped working for absolute no reason. Ethernet does not even blink on the Switch..
last update was on oct. 22 and i've used it 3 days ago.. was working fine.
port and cable still works, just tested on a laptop..
Hold the home button until the menu pops up on the right, select settings, go to network settings. Make sure wifi is turned off. Does it show an ethernet adapter there? Have you tried bypassing the switch to see if it will pull an IP from the router/modem?
I bought one and it just came in today. I plugged it into the wall, plugged the ethernet into the jack which is wired to my unmanaged switch, plugged it into the chromecast. It was immediately recognized and worked. It can be manually configured but I had no need to do so. My router's dhcp server is configured to dish out IPv4 addresses.
