Using A hardwire connection for Gimini Air

Hi,

I am looking for a good Ethernet adapter for my Gimini air devices seeing as I transitioned from satellite to over Internet almost a year ago and while I am satisfied with that move, I am seriously considering getting a hardwire switch through my house so I can have the most stable connection possible as I pay for two separate internet providers and one connection is in a bedroom and fairly accessible while the other is in the living room and is going to require either moving the modem closer to the TV or having a wife that is at least 30 ft long to go from the connection to the TV and as someone who is physically disabled and has issues with mobility, I would prefer an adapter so that my equipment has no issues using a hardwire connection. I have one hardwire connection in my bedroom that I have used with both a PS5 and an Apple TV device and it does what it is supposed to do, no buffering crystal clear connection and picture with no pixelization, but like I said I am probably going to buy an Ethernet switch with multiple connection ports so I can have all of my equipment hardwired, which will also make it easier on me not having to move plugs or devices constantly. I was wondering if the Gemini Air was compatible with an Ethernet adapter so I can take advantage if it when I watch DirecTV. Outside of this one thing, I have no complaints and am happy I moved from satellite to over internet last year after 22 years. I hope to atay with DirecTV for as long as possible, which is why I transitioned to the over internet service rather than looking elsewhere when monthly bills for monthly service without out of market sports packages or pay-per-view add-ons got out of control. Hopefully, things stay reasonable as things keep changing. Might be wishful thinking on my part, but after paying close to $320 a month for monthly service after 22 years, a man can hope especially if the regional sports networks cease operations.

Anyway, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Gemini Air is WiFi only. It just connects to an HDMI port on the TV. I has no wired to internet capability.

The full Gemini Client (C71KW) has both wired and wireless options.

You can get a Gemini box (Osprey) with the option for wired or wireless for around 45 dollars. Model is CW71KW-400. Here is one
