Not all models include ethernet. According to Wikipedia, some models include ethernet only "with compatible USB ethernet adapter". The models with ethernet ports are Roku Ultra (introduced in 2020) and Roku Ultra LT (introduced in 2021). I think these are the only models that would suit my needs. I don't see any need for USB. There's a "Feature comparison" in this Wikipedia article:

I don't understand all the features. What's the difference between "memory" and "storage"? Does the remote use IR or radio waves? Do I have to use voice? What does "LT" stand for?
