Troubleshooting
Firestick not working? Try these troubleshooting steps. Restart your Firestick. Open its settings menu. Press the menu button with three horizontal lines. Select “Forget my network” and sign back in.

If the router or TV is not in the same room, it may be blocking the signal. Check the settings to see if the problem persists. If it doesn’t, try moving the device to a different location. Changing the location of the device may improve your network connection.

Checking connections
If your Firestick is not connecting to WiFi, the problem could be with the router or modem. If the problem persists after restarting your Firestick, try to reconnect it to the WiFi network again.

However, if the problem continues, you might want to try some other methods first. The following methods will help you find the root cause of the Fire Stick not connecting to WiFi.
If you are still unable to connect to the internet, check the Wi-Fi signal strength. A weak signal could be the reason for the problem. If it is weak, try moving it to a different location. If it’s too strong, try restarting your router. If none of these solutions work, try a factory reset. Once you’ve done this, you should be able to successfully connect to Fire Stick.

Uninstalling apps
Once you’ve updated your Firestick, you can uninstall applications from the device. First, go to the Firestick’s Settings menu. Tap the Applications tile. Choose Manage Installed Applications. You will now see all of the applications you’ve installed. Select the app you want to remove from the list. Once you’ve selected the app, click on the Uninstall button, which should appear after a few seconds. You can also uninstall apps on older versions of the Firestick.
Alternatively, you can also uninstall apps through the Firestick’s settings. To uninstall an app, go to the Apps tab. Select “Manage Installed Applications” and click the “Uninstall” option. After you’ve done so, you’ll be asked to confirm your action. Depending on the size of the installed app, you may be asked to confirm before deleting it. If you’re deleting a lot of apps, you’ll need to delete some of them.
Another way to clear up storage space is to uninstall apps. The Firestick has limited storage space. When you install apps you rarely use, you’ll end up using up your storage space quickly. Usually, users remove less-used apps to free up space for newer ones. Some people choose to delete apps they use on a regular basis because they don’t need them. But most of the time, people forget to clear the data and cache of regularly-used apps. Therefore, deleting these applications will clear up the storage space and cache of your Firestick. Uninstalling apps will also help you fix any technical issues that may be plaguing your Firestick.
Deleting apps from your Firestick is an easy, quick way to free up space and improve the device’s performance. It is important to note that this method will not work for every application. Not all applications are compatible with the Firestick’s storage, so you may need to side-load them. If you want to download and install new applications, you’ll have to install them yourself. This method requires a bit of technical knowledge, so be prepared to do some manual work.
