Two of the most popular streaming stick options are the Amazon Fire TV Stick and the Chromecast. If you're having trouble connecting to the internet because of a poor connection, or if you're just having trouble connecting to the internet at all, you should hard-wire your internet connection. With that in mind, here are some of the best devices to use in the future.

There are a number of reasons why your home's wi-fi may not be delivering the best signal to your device. It's possible that your wireless network is over-encumbered by the number of devices connected, or that it's related to the distance between the wireless routers and the streaming device. The signals can be interfered with by the walls of your home. A wired connection is the simplest solution because it eliminates interference and puts your streaming device at the head of the queue for net access.

All you need is a Micro-USB-to-Ethernet adapting cable to connect. Although you'll only need to care about download speeds for streaming, most of the adapters on this list only support 10/100. If your wi-fi can achieve higher speeds than 100Mbs, this may cause your internet connection to be throttled further.

The Cable Matters is above the crowd because it has the same transfer speeds. You can get up to 480Mbps download speed. If your internet can reach that number, you'll be able to stream 4K video on your Fire TV Stick in no time.
