Fire TV Stick can't find WLAN - what to do?

The Fire TV Stick does not necessarily need to be online to turn your TV into a Smart TV. However, many of Amazon's apps require Internet access to work properly. If your TV Stick can't connect to the Internet, you should fix it.

Possible causes when Fire TV Stick can't find WLAN

The Fire TV Stick is a handy device because it can turn your old TV into a Smart TV in a cost-effective way. For this, you need an HDMI port and Internet.

1. If the WLAN is not working, you should check your Internet connection. It may happen that it has interference. Test if your other devices can connect to the internet. If this is not the case, restart your router. In an emergency, contact your provider and describe the problem with the WLAN connection.
2. Check your password entry as well. With longer and complex passwords, it can quickly come to typos here.
3. As another solution, you can reset the device. This can rebuild the system, whereby ebensolche errors are fixed.
4. In addition, go to the settings of the router and select the item "WLAN". Change the security standard here from "WPA + WPA2" to "WPA2".
5. If you are dealing with a 5 Ghz network, then the problem can be solved in which you change to channel 36, 40, 44 or 48. This is done via the "WLAN" setting of your router.
6. If you have no success with any of the suggested solutions, there may be a defect in the Fire TV Stick itself.
