How to set up firestick to use without cord
And you lost me I'm afraid, with all those technical terms.
I don't know if that makes it a 'one' or not. The router is a 2704N if that answers your question. I should use this site more often than I do. I am pleasantly surprised at how helpful and responsive people are being over this issue. Can anyone advise me? Thanking you in advance.
#HOW TO SET UP FIRESTICK TO USE WITHOUT CORD PC#
I aslo have problems with some of all4 material though the pc due to 'ad blocking', despite whitelisting the channel. This whole business is particularly annoying as the normal/terrestrial tv signal is unreliable (I can lose every channel once a week on average) due to the effect of weather on the transmitter.
So my main question is: why does Plusnet not show as an available network? And do I have to go through the set-up routine for the router, this time taking the wi-fi option (which will make my pc temporarily unusable) having changed the option on the tv to ' wi-fi on', before it is possible to change it to a wired connection? I say this because all the advice on youtube about installing a wired connection with a fire stick seems to be from those who already have a wi-fi connection.Īlthough one solution may be to simply convert my pc to wi-fi, I am reluctant to do that.
#HOW TO SET UP FIRESTICK TO USE WITHOUT CORD CODE#
Let me just say at this point that I had the tv settings showing that wi-fi enabled was 'off' (i.e., set the built-in wireless wi-fi to 'off'.) I tried the 'other networks' options, by entering Plusnet (+the code as provided in the Reference card from Plusnet) though the on-screen keyboard (through the fire stick) does not provide a hyphen (and the card includes this between the name of the network and the code that follows.) This stumbling block proved insurmountable. initially, but I hit a problem when I came to indicating the Network I was with, as Plusnet did not come up as an opti on. On finding that 'all4' was not available as one of the pre-installed options (although the description given by Argos strongly suggests that it is: a Q & A with them had them admit that it was 'potentially misleading') I then had to invest in a Fire Stick (I do not have a smart phone so could not, and don't want to use 'mirroring'.)
I just bought a Sony Bravia Smart tv ( KD元2WD75 model) and have a wired connection ((a) because my pc is not wi-fi enabled, and (b) because the general opinion online (spec youtube) is that it is the best way to go.
