And in my case, that means getting around half the speed as I was seeing on Wi-Fi, to say nothing of not getting close to taking advantage of my true-Gigabit fiber connection. That adapter - which provides power as well as the wired network connection - is a 10/100 device, meaning it’s actually going to top out at a 100Mbps connection anyway. You’re almost certainly going to want to just go ahead and use Wi-Fi with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max over Amazon’s own Ethernet adapter, which isn’t included in the box anyway. By comparison, the previous-generation Fire TV Stick 4K got about 200Mbps downstream on Wi-Fi 5, with similar pings.įor those who are saying “Just grab the Ethernet adapter!” - let me stop you there.
FIREPLACE 4K NETFLIX PRO
Connected wirelessly to an Eero Pro 6 (conveniently, another Amazon-owned product), I was pulling upward of 250Mbps downstream, with ping times between 20ms and 25ms.

You shouldn’t necessarily expect warp-speed Wi-Fi, but you’ll have more than enough bandwidth to get the job done. That means it’ll take advantage of the latest wireless standards if you’ve got a Wi-Fi 6 router, or be ready for when you do.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the first in the Amazon lineup to sport Wi-Fi 6, aka 802.11ax. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max ticks a couple more boxes than the Fire TV Stick 4K, which at this point is three years old. More on that below.Īmazon’s own comparison chart spells it out quite well.
You have certain features at certain price points, so you’re guaranteed to make money no matter what. It’s a silly suffix tacked on to a product that itself mostly is an iteration on an iteration. This one is Max, which we can only assume is a step above Plus but still below Extreme.
