Restart the Fire TV, verify the Wi-Fi name and password, restart the modem/router, and move the device closer. Forget and rejoin the network only after another device proves the internet connection works. A Fire TV that finds the network but has no internet usually needs the router restarted, not the stick reset.

Exact questions
Common questions about “Fire TV will not connect to Wi-Fi”
Why won't Fire TV connect to Wi-Fi?+
The password may be wrong, the signal weak or the router may need a restart.
Should I switch bands?+
If your router splits bands, try the 2.4 GHz network for range or 5 GHz for speed.
Is my Wi-Fi password correct?+
A single wrong character stops the connection. Re-enter it carefully, since passwords are case sensitive, and try showing the password as you type.
Could the router limit devices?+
Some routers limit the number of devices or use MAC filtering. Check the router's device list and settings to make sure the Fire TV is allowed.
What if other devices work but the Fire TV does not?+
Move the Fire TV nearer to the router or try another band, then restart the router and the Fire TV to refresh the connection.
Does the Wi-Fi band matter for Fire TV?+
Some Fire TV models handle both bands, and choosing the one with the stronger signal helps. If yours struggles at range, try 2.4 GHz.
What if the signal bar shows weak?+
A weak signal points to distance or obstacles. Move the router or Fire TV, use the extension cable on a stick, or add a mesh node or repeater to improve the signal near the TV.
