I noticed a new firestick was coming out soon with an upgraded processor from 1.7ghz to 1.8. I looked at the specs on Amazon and noticed the Fire Cube has a 2.2ghz processor and 2 GB and ram and we GB of storage.
I decided to pull the trigger and buy one for the main family room tv. I use an IPTV service and sometimes the signal over wifi buffers and changing channels can lag some time.
Set up the new fire cube and always having fun downloading apps etc and re entering passwords etc.
My wifi is usually 40-50mbs via the TP link Deco mesh system. Anyhow the fire cube is much faster and smoother. I'm the box is a wired ethernet adapter as well, which is normally a separate purchase.
I don't have ethernet run to the TVs, but the deco communicates between bases wirelessly and I decided to see if I could use the deco wired to the fire cube. I'm surprised it works.
On the IPTV smarters app you can have multi screen. I decided to try and watch 4 NFL games at once. It was lagging a bit. Three games seems to be better. My wired cable internet is 150mbs. I may have to upgrade. Note with the other firestick and wireless internet multiple screens would lag most of the time. Looks like the fire cube with wired internet can keep up.
Attached are some pics for your enjoyment.
I cut the cord in Feb 2020 and happy I did.
