I hear you. Just saying that many may think “Hard Wired” is better because that seems to be the majority here. Just look at @dgthecomputeruy response above. “I’m Old School” This is not true. It is 2024 and if you have High Speed Fiber you don’t need Ethernet.

Oh I don’t think you’ll ever find anywhere that I’ve said hardwired is better than WiFi 6. Once again, I will disconnect from ethernet and use WiFi 6 if and when it gets to my place.
i just hope the nursing home they put me in has an ethernet jack. I dont like changes

That is absolutely not the case. Most people do not have fiber and much of the US doesn’t even have cable.

It’s 2024 you can get Fiber or High Speed Internet in most places unless you live out on the Farm.

According to AFTV comparison chart,onn boxes have the lowest CPU and GPU scores amongst fire products , shield, And Chromecast with Google TV. Plus, you can’t it anywhere, So it kind of kills the interest for me.

Ehhh, I wouldn’t place too much emphasis on those Benchmarks. Did you watch Troy’s video on the new ONN setup? He even mentioned that in the video.

You said “fiber”.
There’s a huge difference in fiber and ‘high speed’ cable internet…and tens of millions have neither available. Elon’s service is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people.
just picked up a onn 4k pro, got downloader installed and went and put in tp downloader code and i get a message after a bit before it downloads and says, this page requires cookies to be enable in your browser settings, where would that be
Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of these instead of Troy I think he’s the only person I’ve seen that has one. Completely sold out in my area.
Also thank you again trying for showing me this new device I would love to get one. Currently music on Chromecast for the last 3 years maybe it’s time I upgrade. I also have an Nvidia shield prefer the Chromecast over it. Please let me know if anyone has purchased this device and used it looking forward to maybe buying one if it becomes available.

The Onn streaming pro 2024 has landed everywhere as of yesterday. I ordered one for travel.

Not in the Central valley California there’s no fiber here, unless you count all the hay we grow for the cows, LOL.

I don’t know if this happened to anybody else, Amazon just hijacked my homepage on my 4K Maxx fire stick and changed all their apps on the main page to be first and all my apps are put on the back of the bus. At first I thought my device was rebooted back to factory specs until it reverted back to my EPG guide. I reposition all my apps the way I wanted them and I didn’t see any other changes on my device.

Several of us here have them from various parts of the US. Picked mine up 2 days ago. Keep checking Walmart’s in your local area. My closest store didn’t have them but I checked the next closest and Bingo!

I meant to say Fiber AND High Speed Internet. Stable high speed Internet is much more prevelant now than 5-6 years ago and if you can get it you don’t need Ethernet

DSL didn’t even come in this area until about the mid-2000s. And then Uverse came in after that. Finally last couple years we’ve been getting high speed internet off of towers like Verizon.
It hasn’t made it to any of the 20 Walmarts here in Vegas yet unfortunately. I’m so tempted to buy it but my wife is going to kill me with all the boxes I already have

I was able to order one shipped to my house a few minutes ago on the Walmart app. Free shipping. Still showing unavailable at my local stores.
The best part of the new ONN 4K Pro is it’s a real replacement for Amazon’s devices. Amazon sticks and boxes are great devices for the money, Amazon just ruins the devices with their Operating System. To borrow from the NRA:
Fire Sticks don't Kill Streaming, Amazon Kills Streaming
