Re: My fire stick in my bedroom keeps dropping out
@Paul491 The short length of lead on a firestick doesn't help things,
keeping it hidden behind the tv might keep the aesthetics looking good, but in most cases, the WiFi connection it receives isn't optimal.
1:So a HDMI extension lead might help in positioning the firestick in a more open spot.
Also wifi boosters normally trade throughport (speed) for signal strength, so re-positioning your booster, might give you a better result.
Unfortunately there is no 1 solution that will work for everyone, so some trial and error might be needed.
2: moving the booster closer to your router might help.
Out of interest, what connection stats dose your firestick report?
Tom...
BELIEVE =accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.
BETTER = of a higher standard, or more suitable, pleasing, or effective than other things or people:
