April 9th, 2025 update:
Another Amazon Firestick update helps us to add more live content to the LIVE TV section for the Home Page. Previous updates may have reset settings, so the settings needed to be checked to confirm the privacy settings were set to switch to the off option. The Home Page content should get switched off, too. Otherwise, it shows adverts and audio interruptions. Check Consumer Electronics, as that section displays lots of updates.

I always have my Fire TV Cube connected to Ethernet.
Like you say, it’s not exactly Lightening speed, mine downloads at approx 80 mbps, from my 250mb Broadband.
But, it streams steady and constant, which the Wi-fi connection doesn’t always seem to manage.The settings for the Fire TV Cube are certainly extensive, I could get lost with changing things, then wonder if I can tell any difference with the Vision and Sounds.
Hope you are well..

I use Ethernet because it’s also more reliable for software updates that may last up to 30 minutes for some devices. Hopefully, faster, if you can afford the fast Internet speeds for such downloads. I learned that Virgin Media has the slowest speed, as the 125 Mb service, so I couldn’t downgrade and get a better deal anyway. The settings vary with device, and sometimes different names are used to add to the confusion. The Hisense TV and the LG TVs have different TV settings, but I still search for other devices for theirs, such as my DVD Recorder and its settings. Seeing differences isn’t easy for fast-moving scenes, as the processor has to adjust frame-by-frame to fix as much as it can, rather than how I hope to see based on ordinary TVs.
As for my health, I’m awake one minute and almost asleep soon afterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
