A recent leak revealed the design and name of the Google TV Streamer, the next-gen Chromecast product. Google is reportedly ditching the classic branding in favor of Google TV. Now, a new report has revealed that the Google TV Streamer will feature an Ethernet port and other key specs.

The FCC reportedly received the device for certification last week. According to 9to5Google, the Google TV Streamer has the model number GRS6Bin line with what we have seen on products from the brand. They usually include “G” and four alphanumeric characters in the model number. The listing also includes a diagram of the input and output ports on the set-top box.

The Google TV Streamer may be the first “Chromecast” with an Ethernet port

The schematic shows that underneath each of the Google TV Streamer’s ports is an Ethernet port. This would be the first time a “Chromecast” device has included one, which makes sense since previous models relied on the “dongle” format. Now, with the new set-top box design, there’s extra room for more components.

Interestingly, the device is also said to feature a Thread radio. This would allow it to take full advantage of the capabilities of the Matter standard for smart home ecosystems. The Google Pixel 9 series is also expected to feature Thread radios, making them the first Android devices to do so. It seems that Google is looking to capitalize on this technology in favor of higher-performance IoT setups.

Another welcome addition could be a USB-C port, which would allow for more content transfer and peripheral connectivity. This would also make it easier to sideload APKs. On the downside, there doesn’t seem to be any UWB (Ultra-wideband), so it won’t support features like the Pixel Tablet’s Tap to Cast. This is a shame, as the product design seems ideal for using the feature. There also doesn’t seem to be support for Wi-Fi 6 or 7, so you’ll only be able to use the classic dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz.

Unfortunately, the FCC listing doesn’t offer any details on the Google TV Streamer’s chip or RAM capacity. More key specs for the device will likely emerge in the coming days.
