Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Fire TV keep losing WiFi connection?
Common causes include weak WiFi signal, router issues, outdated Fire TV software, or network interference from other devices. Moving closer to your router or restarting both devices often helps.
Can I use Fire TV without WiFi?
Fire TV requires an internet connection to stream content. You can use a wired Ethernet connection with an adapter, or connect to a mobile hotspot as an alternative to WiFi.
How do I find my WiFi password for Fire TV?
Check the label on your router, look in your router's admin settings, or find it in your phone's WiFi settings under saved networks. Contact your internet provider if you can't locate it.
Will restarting Fire TV delete my apps?
A simple restart (unplugging and plugging back in) won't delete apps or settings. Only a factory reset will remove all apps and require you to reinstall them.
