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?
