Connection to Firestick

BigG1 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 05:43:13 GMT

New broadband customer, cannot connect to my Echo Show at all and the Firestick WiFi connection is shockingly bad.

Just switched from Vodafone where I had similar issues, but had a booster box which seemed to help.

Thoughts anyone????

Thanks Paul

@BigG1 Firesticks sre often an issue as they are small and hidden behind a TV which contains metal that blocks WiFi signals. You can buy HDMI extention cables to movecthe giresticj out in the open which can help. The echo show may simply be in an area with poor signal levels which happen.

Sky will supply an extender if you buy their WiFi Max add-on see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max

Thanks, I'll try the extension lead option.
