We’ll show you how to Connect Fire Stick to Wi-Fi in this tutorial. The Amazon Firestick is a small, handy device that has become more and more popular since it came out. There are a lot of reasons why people who don’t have cable love the Firestick: It is simple and elegant, easy to set up, and opens up a world of online streaming.
Plus, you can put it in your backpack, unlike a cable, and take it with you when you travel away from home. No matter where you are, you can stream on your Firestick as long as you have access to a TV with an HDMI port and Wi-Fi. Most of the time, you will be on your home network. But if you are connecting your Firestick to a new Wi-Fi network, you will probably want to set up the new Wi-Fi using the Firestick remote.
So, what happens if you lose or forget your remote at home? That kind of mistake happens all the time. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch new shows back-to-back or follow your favorite sports team. You can also go to the official Fire TV support site to know more information.

FAQ
How do I connect my FireStick to WiFi?
Use your Fire TV remote to go to Settings > Network from the Home screen. Your device will find nearby networks on its own. Choose your WiFi network at home from the list. Note: If your network isn’t on the list, choose Rescan.
Why won t my FireStick connect to WiFi?
Sometimes your FireStick won’t connect to Wi-Fi because of a technical problem, like a wrong password, the limits of your router, or a setting that doesn’t work with your router. But a weak signal may be the main reason why Wi-Fi doesn’t work. One way that other wireless devices can weaken your signal is by interfering with it.
What to do if FireStick is not connecting to TV?
Unplug the Fire TV from the HDMI port and then reconnect it. Try getting a new HDMI cable or HDMI hub (which wasn’t included) and see if that helps. Use a High-Speed HDMI cable, which is not included, to stream 4K Ultra HD movies. Match the “source” or “input” button on your remote to the HDMI port where your Fire TV is plugged in.
Why can’t my TV find my Wi-Fi?
Connect the power cord to your modem/router again and make sure it’s on. Wait until the device is done connecting to your network and the internet. If you were having trouble connecting to the internet, check your TV.
