Check the settings in the fire stick. Make sure it is set to DHCP. Or you may have to enter the wifi IP Address manually. If your wifi uses 192.168.1.1 as a starting IP address then enter 192.168.1.49 change the last 2 digits if already in use. Subnet. 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1.
if it uses 192.168.0.1 then change the 3rd set of numbers to 0. I.e. 192.168.0.49 gateway 192.168.0.1 same subnet.

SOURCE: Connects then disconnects.....PLEASE HELP!!!

Every time you click repair on windows the ip address of your network card is changed from your originally set one to something similair to 194.168.x.x, obviously your router will not see your pc after this. You need to connect to your router via an RJ45 lan cable to ensure it is set up properly and enter the settings menu and make sure dhcp is enabled to give the pc an automatic ip address and check that the time out is set at zero, also check your MTU, it should be set at 1493 or 1500, obviously make sure your network card is set to obtain an ip address in the TCP/IP properties. just a few things that can be checked, firstly in the routers settings look at the transfer speed of the router(not the connection speed) and see if it's set at 108MBPS, if so your wireless network cards on your pc may only be able to connect at a maximum speed of 54MBPS, unless you have the latest 108 or 125MBPS g type cards. Secondly you should be able to check the wireless signal strength by the icon in your task bar or software you use, as if you have thick walls or objects in the line of the signal from router to pc's, the strength drops and can read low and therefore cause you to lose internet connection entirely. You can also try changing the channel at which the router runs, normally this is channel 6, but trying channel 11, which is the farthest away from appliance interference may give you better results, but both router and network card channel numbers will have to be changed. Lastly if you have the software that came with the wireless card, dissable it by right clicking the pc network icons in your taskbar and click on enable WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration), as this is a more stable connection to your router and its transfer speed.

SOURCE: USRobotics USR5461 - WiFi local network intermittently available and unable to connect

I've been having the same problem where even hard wiring to the router won't work. I called USR and they had me reset to factory defaults. Now three days later, the same behavior is happening. I reset to factory defaults and it works again but I don't know for how long. Maybe these things just wear out after a while...who know.

Amazon fire stick reset

make sure that your wifi is a good signal,if you are using a lower tier internet service then it wont work,call your internet provider and verify that your internet is sufficient,also use 5ghz wifi,not 2.8ghz.
if this doesnt work for connecting then,
reset this way,
straight from amazon,reset firestick,
Please unplug the Fire TV stick from power source and then plug it again after 5 seconds.
Once the Fire TV stick is back on, please take batteries out of the remote and re-insert
-----------------------------------------------
also,xfinity remote controls work with firestik tv in place of the original remote,program it for a vizio tv and forget the original remote!

FireStick not working. Shows NO SIGNAL on TV screen. It was fine last night. I woke up this morning and the screen had frozen. Ive tried everything I can think of. Please help me! Thank You

The Fire Stick needs wifi to work, has it failed to find the wifi? Try calling Amazon, they are good at helping with their products. I have two fire sticks, and 4 fire Tv boxes, and I never have a problem with them that i can't fix myself.

How can I get my new Amazon fire tv stick to install? Every thing is plugged in correctly and powered up but the screen says it "Can't contact Amazon.com so try a new router or wireless network"

Check this first:
  • Connect your Amazon Fire TV device to one of these network or router types:
    • Open, WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK encrypted networks
    • B, G, and N routers on 2.4Ghz
    • A and N routers on 5Ghz
    • Hidden networks
  • Enable wireless connectivity on your Amazon Fire TV device. From the Home screen, select Settings > System > Wi-Fi.
  • Make sure you know your network password (if required). If you see a lock icon, a network password is required. This password is not your Amazon account password.
  • Make sure your Internet connection is not down. Restart your router and modem to solve most Wi-Fi network issues.
  • Do not place your wireless router or Amazon Fire TV device in a cabinet, as it impacts your Wi-Fi signal strength.
Also, try this for Fire TV Stick:
  • Use the included HDMI extender to optimize the location of your Fire TV Stick. The HDMI extender can improve your wireless connectivity by positioning your Fire TV Stick further from the TV.
  • Plug the power cord into the included power adapter and then into a wall outlet to ensure the device receives enough power for optimal performance.


Still having trouble?
  • Restart your Amazon Fire TV device. Disconnect the power cord from your Amazon Fire TV device for three seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.
Tip: You can also restart your Amazon Fire TV device with your remote. Press and hold the Select button and the Play button at the same time until the Amazon Fire TV device restarts (about five seconds). Or go to Settings > System > Restart.
