How to Fix ‘Firestick Not Connecting to Wifi’ Issue – Guide
Physical obstacles can also affect signal strength. Walls, doors, glass, cabinets, and other objects made of materials such as concrete and metal can reflect, refract, or absorb your router’s Wi-Fi signal, preventing it from reaching the FireStick at full strength. Another common reason for low signal strength is that the FireStick is too far from the Wi-Fi router. Internet routers have different signal ranges. If the FireStick is out of range of the router, you will have problems with your Wi-Fi connection.
Fix ‘Firestick not connecting to Wifi’ issue
Make sure you’ve established a connection
The first step to correcting this error is to confirm that an established connection exists between the FireStick and the router. While this seems obvious, it’s easy to assume that there is already an active connection when, in fact, there is a network error. To check for an active Wi-Fi connection:
Restart your router
A simple reset of your modem or router fixes most network connectivity issues, so it can make all the difference here. When you restart the router, it has time to cool down and refresh its memory. See How to reset your router.
Restart your FireStick
If resetting the router does not do the trick, the next device to reboot is the FireStick. There are three ways to restart FireStick. The first method uses an option in the FireStick settings.
Disconnect and reconnect your Wi-Fi network
If the WiFi connectivity issue has not been resolved, you can try disconnecting and reconnecting to your WiFi. To “forget” the network and then reconnect to it, follow these steps.
Connect to the hidden Wi-Fi network
If your Wi-Fi network is set to hidden, you will not find it in the list of available networks. You have two options in this situation: You can “unhide” the hidden network or connect to the hidden Wi-Fi network. I will show you how to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network.
Clear Obstructions and Interferences
If you have obvious obstructions to your Wi-Fi signal, try moving the router to a different location so that the path from the router to the FireStick is shorter and free of obstructions. Moving your router a little can make a big difference and solve your problem. If your router has adjustable antennas, you can leave it where it is and experiment with pointing the antennas in different directions. Even if there are no physical objects weakening your signal, your Wi-Fi network can be affected by radio frequency interference from devices such as microwave ovens, phones, poorly wired satellite dishes, and certain wireless devices. Competing WLAN networks can also be a source of interference. If none of the previous methods solved your problem, it’s worth testing for radio interference. To do this, temporarily turn off and disconnect each device near/between the router and the FireStick (one device at a time) to see if any are interfering with your Wi-Fi connection. If you find a device interfering with your FireStick connection, try moving that device away from the router and FireStick to see if you can boost your signal.
