You can read the specs. here.
I connected it using ethernet wire to my router. Setup and software update was simple.
Tested playback of few media video files with external USB hard drive using the media player which came with the startup. Could not see the file names. I installed Kodi media player and liked it much better. So, it is a decent media player.
Tested youtube and Amazon video playback and it was good.
What did not work was Google Photos App, Did not connect to my google account and show allthe albums like it does on Android phones and Tablets. Chromecast worked when controlled from Android devices. Chromecast backdrop also does not see Google Photos. There is no options to connect as well. This was the big surprise. I did not test 4K video because I did not have a TV to connect to.
I plan to download the google photo albums I want to see on a USB thumb drive to get around the non-working Google Photo App. Not sure if the problem is with Google's Android TV or Nvidia's implementation.
I got the basic model with 2 USB 3.0 ports. Other good thing is a USB device called SmartExtend which is supposed to connect to Smartthings hub. I will get it and see how it works.
