USB ethernet for older 32s301 TV

Does anyone have recent experience with using a USB ethernet adapter on a 2017 series 3 TV? I've seen some posts mentioning a ugreen 100Mbs adapter that works - others saying saying the connection doesn't always come up on a restart or power cycle. My TV is in a location that 'mostly' works with wifi but has just enough trouble to make me think I should improve it and I do have ethernet access nearby. Or should I save the money and just get a better TV?
