No longer an option as of NOVEMBER. Proof of vaccination required to fly in. According to the Guad Reporter: "All adult foreigners". Edited: I had the wrong month. Duh.

I concur with most of what you are saying, but Amazon telling you that a newer product is better is simply good marketing. Telling you that there is no need to spend more money to upgrade, because it will upgrade anyway, would be pretty counter-productive.

Maybe Amazon is calling it "Amazon ethernet adapter for Amazon Fire TV devices", but that's a marketing gimmick. They source millions of products in massive amounts and put their name on it. This just happens to be one of them. It works to do that and people who would not know otherwise are happy, and there is nothing wrong with that. But if it was really designed for Fire products, it wouldn't be, as All Day points out, 10/100 Mbps. Just read the reviews. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Ethernet-Adapter-Fire-Devices/dp/B074TC662N?tag=detailedview-20#customerReviews

Getting even deeper into the weeds. First, Natasha and everyone, Amazon says "you must have WiFi" simply because there is no ethernet port on the device. Period. They do not have an ethernet adapter designed for Firesticks: any adapter will do, if that is what is wanted. I see no instance where ethernet would be slower than WiFi, although there are always extenuating circumstances. Technically speaking, ethernet is always better. A 100 Mbps speed cap from either a modem, or based on the Cat5 cable in use, can be a problem. But if you are only paying for 40 Mbps, then you are never going to reach the theoretical broadband limit of 100 Mbps anyway, so it makes no difference in theory. However, I agree with All Day: the more the merrier. He is also correct in that one port on all iLox boxes is capped at 100 Mbps for some $%&/()ic reason. But the documentation does not say that, or which one... and there are boxes with 2 ports and with 4 ports. And he is correct again: Firesticks, even the older versions, all receive automatic or soon-to-be-scheduled updates to the latest software. I cannot find any information that says the 4K model cannot receive the 2021 update. https://troypoint.com/update-firestick/

Try the supplements tiendita inside WalMart; they have 500 mg chewables. Much more costly (best price at Farm Simi) are effervescent wafers, also 500mg.

"I know you are but what am I" strikes again.

Deep in the weeds here. (HDMI WiFi is not a thing with Firestick. It's a special and not cheap adapter used for a different reason.) You plug the Firestick into the HDMI port on your TV, and connect the Firestick via WiFi (unless you have an ethernet adapter, of course). If you can use ethernet, it's always going to be better. However, if your Firestick works just fine using WiFi, then that's all you need to care about. As Tels says, having cables run is a different story that many folks don't want, and that's why the Firesticks don't come with ethernet. However, typical of US companies that use Internet for their services, the assumption is that the lowest common denominator user has excellent and broad WiFi. Which many users don't yet. Especially in places like this.

For years, Telmex has been "saving money" by only including Cat5 cable with their modems. That may have changed. Regardless, I think the point here now for me is to try and determine why Rich would say that.

That could easily be the case. And the cable itself must be able to sustain high speeds. Even though Category 5 is rated for 100, which is more than enough for most people, a higher-rated cable like Category 6 simply allows more bandwidth through. It could also be that the Firestick hardware is poor at the receving end.

So Rich said WiFi works better with Firesticks than does ethernet. Not in general. But I would really like to know upon what he bases that comment. He's no dummy. I suspect a misinterpretation, or an "easy answer" on his part to get out of a lengthy technical explanation. A strict interpretation of Natasha's post is that he actually meant don't use that ethernet cable, perhaps damaged.

By air. Land and sea, no test required. Why? "Too hard to control". Stupid.

Does Luis work for them? Is he an installer? Or one of the commissioned salespeople?

Hardly. Pressed.

LOL! Because some folks' idea of ATMs is spewing ego, not money.

ACD constantly refers to several websites well-known for their rightist-conspiracy leanings. I suspect he continues to do so in this thread.

Unfortunately, you cannot create or sign in until you have an account and made your first payment.

Okay, I have no problem with that. But really, it was her comment that groups all Mexicans into something less than they are.

Sure, technically, but you knew exactly what I meant. Her comment was a derogatory appropriation, an ethnic slur, offensive, targeted at a specific group, and a stereotype. And if that ain't "racist", I don't know what is. So it sounds like you are "protecting" a friend, nothing more. And calling me a racist for saying what I said just pours water over your own definition. Not only that, I said "racist maybe", specifically giving room for interpretation. But instead of recognizing my comment against something vile, you decided to nitpick and go all rhetoric on me.

"Yep spoken like a true Mexican"

Stalking you? Now, that is funny. No, the truth is you are all over the place, in a very unfriendly, combative way. Doesn't sit well with me. The fact that you don't care for my opinion doesn't make it all about you, even though you apparently think it does.

That is the personal business of those who choose that path. And I find it to be a very prying question.

Not hardly. You protest too much. And now, you've even changed your story. Enjoy it. Get this: it's a refined French press. Talk about duh.

Lots of us here don't want or need a Mexican bank account.

Not hardly. But you just couldn't resist making it personal, could you? Okay then:I used to think you knew what you were talking about, but you really don't. A percolator boils water up to circlulate through the grinds. A drip coffee maker simply drips. A press presses. I repeat: it's just a refined French press. You do understand the word refined, right?
