Let’s crack the problem by simple methods to apply on the Amazon Firestick.

Make changes in the Router’s Default Settings.

Wi-Fi network or WiFi connection is the most powerful network in the world, and you can do almost anything with the help of this WI-Fi network.

You can use this network with the help of a router. A router will create a connection that you can connect with your multiple devices like Mobile Phones, PC, Smart TVs, Tablets, etc. You can even use the most famous and content consumer’s favorite stick, the Amazon Fire TV Stick that helps many people enjoy their favorite movies and TV Shows on the smart TVs.

The router’s default settings may cause the problem, and to solve the issue or check the case, follow the steps given below.

• First, Take your router and find the Default Gateway Address on the back of the router.
• Now, type the Default Gateway address into a web browser to open the router’s online interface from where you can access the settings and make changes as well.
• If you have already set the Username and Password, then enter them and log in, but If you haven’t, consider your Username and Password to be Admin.
• Once in the router’s interface, select the Wireless Settings from the panel.
• Now, you will see all the settings related to a WIFI network. So, now you have to select the WiFi band as 5GHz.
• After selecting that option, hit Save and Apply.
• Then you will receive Settings Saved notification on the browser. So, reboot your WiFi router.

After the robot is done, connect your Fire TV Stick with a WiFi network and try using your Fire Stick to check If it’s losing connection or not.

If it isn’t working, then do not disappoint. I have attached many other methods to try and solve the issue of losing internet connections.

Using Ethernet Adaptor

This is the second method to solve the issue of continuously losing the connection to the internet on your Fire TV Stick device.

And we already know that a prolonged internet connection causes the problem or WiFi bands are not strong. This problem could be anything or because of not getting the proper signals from the ethernet adaptor.

If you are using your fire Tv stick in your private room and the WiFi network connection is placed outside of the room, you will not receive signals that will help you continue to watch your content.

So, the best option, in this case, is to use an ethernet cable or adaptor to avoid this situation and watch your favorite content without any disturbance.

The ethernet adaptor is obviously, a wired connection that will be very fast compared to the wireless network or wireless connection.

There is no dedicated ethernet port available in the amazon fire tv stick. But do not worry about that, because I have a solution for that problem also.

Amazon has also provided a solution for this problem in that it offers a feature to connect ethernet adaptor, but you have to buy it separately. Or you can also buy a third-party ethernet adaptor.

I am sure that you will not use Wi Fi connection once you use the ethernet connection because it provides the solution to losing internet connection issues and provides excellent high-speed internet.

HDMI Adaptor

When you buy the Amazon Firestick, you get an HDMI cable with the box. Some people use it, and others plug the firestick directly into the HDMI port. So, in this method, we will talk about the HDMI extender.

Now, directly inserting the stick into the port could be the biggest reason for the problem. So always use the HDMI extender from the original box.

And even after using an HDMI extender, you are getting the results. Then it would have been broken or not working correctly, so check twice before making any decisions.

So, buy another cable or wire from the local shops near you, or you can order it online from amazon’s official site. But, make sure to check its compatibility with the firestick.

It’s because the device does not support the local cables, so that you will face further issues. It’s essential to check the compatibility with the device. Otherwise, the 4K resolution won’t work on the device.
