• In case you have made any changes here, please try reconnecting to Wi-Fi again.

3. Turn your Fire Stick’s Wi-Fi off and on again. You should be able to see a list of Wi-Fi names by going to Settings > Network. If your Wi-Fi network is not listed, turn the Wi-Fi off and on again and see if it appears.

• After forgetting the network, reconnect and see if the issue has been resolved. If this is not the case, proceed to the next step.

As soon as your modem has been connected to the internet, plug it in and wait for the lights to turn on (this may take another minute). Your router should only be connected to the internet after your modem has been turned on and connected to the internet.
• The router and Fire Stick should be placed as close as possible to each other.
• If you are unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network, please try again.
