Can anyone recommend a USB to Ethernet adapter that works with Samsung TV The Frame.. 

I would like to plug the adapter to one of the USB 2.0 ports on the TV's One Connect Box to increase the TV's internet download speeds.
The built-in Ethernet port on the One Connect Box only supports 10/100 mbps, whereas the USB 2.0 ports support up to 480mbps.

Thanks for your kind affirmative reply..  We support a customer’s network & wifi in their home, and with Ethernet we have a 1Gb switch at the Samsung tv a cable feed,link to the tv which is 10/100..The customer has Verizon Fios , and at the tv feed, from a main hub with the Verizon Fios modem & router, we feed the rest of the home via Ethernet and Mesh nodes…

The Verizon fiostv box is fed with a RG-6 cable installed 15 yrs ago..Unfortunately they brought in the coax feed from the Verizon modem..and then used splitters to feed the local router then all throughout the house…

First splitter is  -7.5db at each ports, with one of these outlets feeding another splitter with-10db per port ( about 6 ports) That splitter is feeding the Verizon fllos cable box in the remote den which then -10 maybe creating a situation that is viewed as  periodic buffering on Netflix when they are watching movies or whatever… I only am concerned as this may be a -17.5db drop before it makes it to the fios cable box in the remote den which then feeds the to the Samsung HDMI 1 port on the tv I dlll concern that the -75 and then -10 maybe creating a situation thati is view as periodic buffering on Netflix when they are watching movies  or whatever..I am only concerned as this maybe a -17.5db drop before it makes it to the fios cable box  then feeding the tv….

Not being able to measure the drop values at the fios cable box feeding the tv, I may use a good 5-3000mhz dual  output spitter, take in  the modem feed RG-6 , and then use one of the two outputs to directly feed the other spitter, take in the modem feed RG-6 and then use one of the two outputs  to directly feed the remote Verizon Fios cable tv box, and the other output  to go through the other spitter’s … do you recommend a Verizon compatible cable distribution amplifier to eliminate these spitters and balance distribution better ? Thank you

@jknn16 100 mbps is more than fast enough to stream 4K video. Why are you looking for something faster? 

I assume that you are looking for a device to plug into the TV's USB port that will connect to your Ethernet network? Typically these require a software driver on the USB side to run the device. I would be very surprised if your TV would support such an adapter.

@jknn16 This seems like a completely unnecessary complication. Since the TV isn't using the Coax at all, seems like the solution would be to only run Coax to the modem if it is needed there. All the other should be replaced by Ethernet, Wifi, and/or switches. This will eliminate the signal drop issue. 

How big of a house is this? From the description it appears that you are supporting something the size of an Amazon warehouse. 

Years ago, Verizon put FiOS in our neighborhood and we subscribed. Verizon sold it to Frontier. A few years ago Frontier stopped offering new subscribers video over coax and only supported legacy customers. Now Frontier offers video only via YouTube TV. Even before this happened, Frontier switched our ONT to one which only provides Ethernet output. We still had video via Coax at the time so Frontier provided a modem which attached to the Ethernet and provided the video output. Last year we dropped all video services via Frontier and went to only Internet. 

As I said above, I suggest that you recommend to your client that they drop all the crazy Coax splitters and run Ethernet or Wifi.
