Update the Fire TV Stick: How to Do It

Get assistance configuring and resolving typical Fire TV problems. Amazon started releasing a new interface for the Fire TV Sticks and Cube in late 2020 and early 2021. If your device hasn’t updated yet, follow the next 5 simple steps to get it there. If you have a Prime subscription, there are still plenty of ways to make the most of it on the new, slightly smoother interface.

  • At the top of the home screen, select Settings.
  • To choose Device, scroll to the right.
  • Choose About.
  • Go to System Update and select Check.
  • To update your Fire TV Stick, follow the instructions.

Although the included USB Micro cord and power adapter may not be required to set up the Fire TV Stick, you’ll want to use them to ensure speedier performance.

Here is all you require to set up your Fire TV Stick so that it can stream all of your favorite media.

#1. Start by connecting the USB Micro cord to the power supply

If you are having difficulties with this step, try holding Home for 10 seconds on the remote control that is closer to the Fire TV Stick and switching to fresh batteries.

Simply unplug the power source from the Fire TV Stick, wait a moment, and then plug it back in if those instructions don’t work (as they didn’t for us).
