Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Chromecast and PlayStation Connectivity with UGREEN Connector Extender by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for use with Fire TV 4K Stick

This adapter allows you to use a Fire TV Stick (any generation dongle or any other brand) with a suitable MM length HDMI cable to provide a snug fit for better Wi-Fi reception. With the Stick plugged in behind the TV, that's a terrible place for strong WiFi reception, especially when using 5G. This also applies if you have an HT receiver with all devices connected to the HDMI ports. Remember that you place the "radio transmitter" (stick) behind the metal plate. How does this help you get reliable reception? It will not. I have a Denon HT receiver that controls all my HDMI gear and I use an HDMI cable from it to my Sony 4K TV. Get a good quality MM HDMI cable (3-6ft) and one of these FF HDMI adapters to neatly position your TV stick - NOT up (distorts reception) or behind (blocks/reduces reception ) a piece of metal. Other things being equal, you'll see a significant increase in performance. Remember: keys are radios. They must be kept clean to function optimally. This adapter is a very good and necessary item so that your TV Stick can be placed in the best possible place.
