Apparently this isn’t allowed in !Android and should go here instead.

A Chromecast with Google TV connected to a USB-C hub, connected to an Ethernet dongle, connected to an HDMI coupler.

    Unfortunately that ethernet adapter can be slower than Wi-Fi because the USB is only wired as USB 2, it’ll be limited to 100mbps or less. Trying to stream local media showed that real quick so I had to switch back to WiFi

      Huh, interesting. I had no idea. Well I don’t need it to be anywhere faster than 100M. USB2 can definitely do that. Closer to 200M. With that said, the latency is more important if you’re gonna do anything like Steam Link.
