If you need a hub that works with the in-box power supply, your best bet is the Vemont Premium 5-in-1 Type-C Hub, which has been tested by multiple users in r/Chromecast over the last few months.

Since the charging tech it uses isn't Power Delivery, most hubs don't recognize the full power and don't pass it along properly. This brick is powerful enough to run the Chromecast with Google TV, but it doesn't have enough leftover power to power most USB-C hubs. Unfortunately, the reality is that not every USB-C hub is compatible, and that compatibility is also impacted by what you're using to power your Google TV setup.īecause Google needed to save every penny it could to keep that low price point on the Chromecast with Google TV, it shipped with a dinky USB-A power brick rather than a USB-C Power Delivery charger. In fact, our favorite Chromebook hub, the Aukey Link PD Pro, works fabulously with either one. We also provide seller ratings to warn you if the seller can be trusted or not.I'd love to tell you that you can dig out your Chromebook's USB-C hub and just plug it into your Chromecast with Google TV.

Wish I could get Google to reimburse me for the money I wasted on their inferior product (I bought one for each of my three Chromecasts).and maybe some damages for missing out on hundreds of college football games in 4k /s Looking at the Google product listing, I notice now that they advertise it as 'perfect for hard-to-reach Wi-Fi spots.' I have an AP right next to my Chromecast.I guess I was the idiot for assuming that a direct ethernet connection was the better choice regardless. I was a bit dumbfounded by this, and decided to try using a USB-C hub I had for my laptop ( this one, not an ad).and 4k Youtube TV works PERFECTLY.

Turns out lots of people in the comments knew that the official ethernet adapter didn't work and to use a third-party one instead.

Now, two years later, I happened to see a random post asking if there was a software limit on 100mb/s for Google TV, or if the adapter was just capped that way. I played around with video settings, but in the end I stopped paying the extra $20 a month for choppy video. I (wrongly) assumed there was no way it could be network issues, because I was connected over ethernet with the official Google ethernet adapter and gigabit internet. I signed up for 4k Youtube TV when it first came out, but my Chromecast with Google TV would consistently drop frames.
