Connection woes can affect any device, not just your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

And there are several objects around the house that can pose a problem for Wi-Fi signals to reach your favourite gadgets.

But simply by moving your router or your Fire TV Stick it could make a big difference.

Here are three little-known objects around the house that may be affecting your Wi-Fi and Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Bluetooth devices

Bluetooth devices like wireless headphones and speakers can interfere with Wi-Fi signals.

The closer these devices are to the router, the worse the interference becomes.

So it’s best to keep these away from your router and Fire TV Stick where possible.

Metal objects

Metal is a tough material to penetrate, so it’s no surprise that they can make things harder for signals.

So if your router or Fire TV Stick is near any big metal-made objects it could have an impact.

This includes things like doors, walls, or building infrastructure.

A general rule of thumb for your router is to ensure it has a nice clear space to breathe.

The TV

You may be wondering how the TV can cause a problem when the Fire TV Stick is meant to plug into the back of one.

Well, the electronic interference can disrupt signals.

This is why Amazon recommends people use the HDMI extender for optimal Wi-Fi performance and controller performance so it’s not stuck right behind your TV.

So dig it out of the box and allow your Fire TV Stick some extra space slightly away from the TV.
