I was seriously disappointed when I found out the Nexus Player lacked an Ethernet port, as well as HDMI pass through, but at the least the Ethernet port is solved. By simply adding a microUSB OTG cable to USB Ethernet adapter, an Ethernet connection will be present in the settings. How easy is that?
Since Android TV also includes Google Cast (Chromecasting), this means that all Chromecasting will also work through the Ethernet. Since the Chromecast itself only works though WiFi, many are suffering with either poor or inconsistent WiFi. By grabbing the Nexus Player, you will essentially be upgrading your Chromecast to a wired connection, as well as gaining all the added benefits of Android TV like gaming, a remote control, and on screen navigation.
On top of the Ethernet connection, you can also browse a USB thumb-drive when using an app called OTG-Disk Explorer Lite. Assuming the Nexus Player gets rooted, you will be able to install StickMount, which will automatically mount and dismount USB sticks.
