I got a Nexus Player to use as a Chromecast, initially because it had 5 GHz wireless, but then I figured out that you can use an USB OTG adapter to plug an ethernet adapter into the micro USB port. That worked even better.
Frustrating that the new ones don’t have an ethernet jack on them. WiFi in a condo or apartment building is unreliable and slow.
The new Chromecast devices definitely support 5Ghz WiFi btw- I use the 4K variant for all of my TVs and they are all using the 5Ghz variant of my WiFi network.

EDIT: Nevermind, they have official ones built into the power bricks! https://store.google.com/collection/accessories_wall?compati...
