Hey guys, I have a TV that I want to have connected via ethernet to my network, since I will be using it to watch Plex. The thing is, my TV doesn't have an ethernet port, but does have a USB port. So my question is, is it possible to create a wired connection between my modem/router and the smart tv via ethernet-to-USB? Would it work with a cable I make myself?

Thanks senpai

No.

USB is a standard that lets a computer use any USB device, not one that lets a USB device be used by any computer.

Just buy a fucking chromecast.

even if you could somehow arrange such a setup (using some sort of custom dynamic storage device) the tv would still need to support dlna

for plex to work.
so just like >>299055 said, you will need a separate device, a raspberry pi (plus sd card) should be enough, then connect it on another hdmi port

I don't need chromecast genius, I have a roku tv, it just lacks the ethernet port. I am able to connect to my Plex server but since its wireless sometimes its spotty, which is why I was looking for a wired alternative. Guess there isn't

Anyway thanks guys
