WiFi terrible on fire stick

WiFi signal on fire stick is terrible, why is this? Have tested line and WiFi, it says its not good, but ok on non sky device. I stopped sky TV because of costs and have had continuous issues with poor WiFi since February. Why do I feel its a sky thing??

@K8T79 & @Nicolack bad wifi is a very common issue with firesticks mainly due to the simple fact that plugging a streaming device with no room for a decent aerial behind a TV that contains lots of metal which blocks wifi signals is not thatsensible. Throw in not great wifi in thst room and you will get issues. Amazon sell short HDMI extention cables (they used to be included with some firestaicks) which enables you to move the stick into an area with better signal level.
