Can't Connect Your Fire TV Device to Wi-Fi During Setup

Encountering Wi-Fi connection issues while setting up your Fire TV device? Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you get connected:

1. Refresh Network List:
If your network isn't listed, press the Back button on your Fire TV remote to refresh the network list. Sometimes, networks may take a moment to appear.

2. Restart Fire TV Device:
Unplug the power adapter from your Fire TV device, wait for about a minute, then plug it back in. This simple restart can often resolve connectivity issues.

3. Restart Modem and Router:
 Unplug both your modem and router, wait for a minute, then plug them back in. Ensure they're positioned close to each other for optimal connectivity.

4. Consider Ethernet Connection:
If possible, connect your Fire TV device directly to your router via Ethernet cable. Note that some Fire TV devices may require an Ethernet adapter for this type of connection.

Remember to have your Wi-Fi password and network name handy during setup. If you're unable to locate your password, refer to our guide on locating Wi-Fi passwords for further assistance.
