But if you don't get the maker's model, you can not expect support. An update might break it.
This is why I use the Ethernet port to one of those WiFi to Ethernet adapters. It's something that costs less than most maker dongles and doesn't break like those other things. Also, it's supported.
I've got a smart TV that's "wifi ready" (LG 42LW550t). It's got an ethernet port (not an option for me), but no built in wifi. Question is, should I get the wifi adapter for the TV (pricey), or just get one of the cheaper smart TV dongles?
If I get a smart TV dongle, will the TV be able to connect to the internet (like to receive updates)?
Thanks
