I want to buy a hub USB with LAN for my Chromecast with Google TV. I need it to connect external hard disks, wifi dongles for controllers and more. What's the best? If it's on Amazon it's better. I live in Italy.
Thank you!

I use this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CDR6978
Since I haven't seen anyone mention it yet I'll throw it out there. The CCwGTV will only read FAT32 drives natively.

Look for the Vemont 5 in 1, it's a safe bet. For a hard drive you might need a better power supply though.
I'm using this Hub: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0912YCTS1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . But keep in Mind that the Google TV Stick only handles ~100Mbit Ethernet.
Be warned. I tried the hub idea and it was utterly useless for me.
I have a 2017 shield pro. While it has two USB 3.0 type-a ports, one of them died. I needed a hub to resolve that problem because I used both ports before the USB port failed - one port for a hard drive as adoptable storage, and another for a third party remote dongle.
Well I discovered that the hard drive was eating so much bus bandwidth, it rendered the remote almost useless (laggy, ghost clicks, sometimes unresponsive).
I ended up having to give up on the hard drive and use my one healthy usb port for the remote dongle.
Maybe others experiences were different but that's my take.
Edit - I should note that I only discovered the second port was dead when I bought the third party remote. That's when I bought the hub and came to my conclusion
