Once both your phone and the Fire TV have an internet connection, you’ll be able to connect your phone to the Fire TV device. </p><p>This cannot be done before the Fire TV is connected to the internet, so it means that you’ll need to have a remote for at least the first few steps of the setup process.

Try These Tips</h2><p>If your <a href="https://www.commquer.com/firestick-not-working/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Firestick is not working</a> — whether the remote is not connecting, or the device isn’t waking up or connecting to the internet properly — Amazon has a generalized series of troubleshooting steps that are recommended. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="restart-the-fire-tv-stick-or-reset-the-router">Restart the Fire TV Stick or Reset the Router</h3><p>First, you should restart the device, either in the <strong>settings menu</strong> or by simply <strong>unplugging the Fire TV</strong> if it’s unresponsive. Amazon also suggests <strong>resetting your router</strong> in case there’s a problem with your network rather than the Fire TV Stick. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="use-original-connection-equipment">Use Original Connection Equipment</h3><p>If these don’t seem to help, make sure you’re using all of the original connection equipment that the device came with. This means using the included <strong>HDMI cable</strong>, <strong>power cable</strong> and <strong>power adapter</strong>. </p><p>Since the Amazon Fire TV Stick connects to a USB cable for power, it’s technically possible to use another power adapter, such as the one you use to charge your phone, to power the Firestick. However, this can lead to potential voltage issues if the power adapter is not outputting the right current consistently, which can cause the Firestick to freeze or crash while playing videos. </p><p>If you’re already using the cables that the device came with, you might try another HDMI cable if you have one, just to rule out the possibility that the cable is causing the problem. </p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="56731"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/firestick_reset.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/firestick_reset.png" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/firestick_reset-800x480.png" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/firestick_reset-680x408.png" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="480" loading="lazy" class="landscape" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/firestick_reset-800x480.png" alt="firestick reset" title="firestick-reset"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption"> Heading into the “my fire tv” tab of the settings and scrolling to the bottom of the list is where you’ll find the last resort, the factory reset option. </div></figcaption></figure><h3 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="factory-reset">Factory Reset</h3><p>If you’ve done all of this and nothing seems to work, then you should try a factory reset on the device. This can be found in the settings under the “my Fire TV” tab. A factory reset wipes everything from the device, so you’ll have to go through the entire setup process again, but this will usually fix any issues. </p></section><section><h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="Final Thoughts" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="Final Thoughts" id="final-thoughts-setting-up-the-amazon-fire-tv-stick">Final Thoughts: Setting Up the Amazon Fire TV Stick</h2><p>Hopefully, this article has been helpful if you’ve encountered any issues with your Fire TV Stick during the setup or regular use.

Could I get an HDMI splitter to plug in my Firestick? I hate to disconnect my Bose system in order to plug in the Firestick, because it’s pain in the neck, then, to go thru all the hassle of figuring out how to get the Bose system back up & working.
