Works great
November 28, 2015
The product after the fact gets five stars. The setup instructions gets ZERO. I tried to setup the Wi-Fi range extender as suggested in the attached pamphlet, but it did not work. I was ready to return the product, but with Thanksgiving on the way I did not get a chance. Recently I received an e-mail from Yan Hua (the Amazon seller) containing a revised, a bit more detailed instructions. I followed it, but again the setup failed. As I was doing a screen capturing of where the setup went wrong to e-mail back to Yan Hua, I noticed that the pop up window that asked for the extender's passcode (which is on the label on the device) also had a clickable text/link saying "I do not want to configure, just want to connect to it". Before I blindly entered the asked for passcode, and could not get to the setup IP 192.168.10.253 configuration screen. So I reset the extender as in the e-mail and started all over, and clicked the "I do not want to configure, just want to connect to it" link. After this, everything went as described in the e-mail. My router is in the basement, and before on the second floor I would have two bar signal. I placed the extender on the first floor, and now I have the maximum five bar signal. Did not notice any reduction in speed.I do recommend the product, it works great once it is set up as a repeater. Patience, endurance and a bit of common sense helps a lot.
Exactly What I Needed
November 12, 2015
The product is exactly as advertised and was shipped promptly. It is very fairly priced. A bargain actually.This device is exactly what I needed. It operates in 5 modes, and I needed the repeater mode so that I could extend my ISP WiFi's reach outside my house and into my back and side yards. This device does that. My ISP's WiFi speed at the location where I plugged in the Motoraux is ~16 Mbps. But outdoors my ISP's router signal strength falls so low that my phone and iPad would switch over to LTE, and I'd start chewing up my cellular data package. Now I get ~16 Mbps outdoors. I can stream audio and video without concern. No device can relay data faster than it gets data, so this device is optimal in performance for me.You may notice that other users have questions about how to set up the device. I did, too. Actually I'd got it set up correctly, but got a message from the installation software that seemed to say I had a problem. I wrote a message to the seller on my order page and sent it off in the afternoon. The next morning I had a comprehensive response to my message. I believe the seller's offices are in Asia and I'm in California, so a 12-hour turn-around is lightning fast. The seller obviously places a lot emphasis on customer satisfaction, and both his concern and his capability to help have satisfied me.Highly recommeded.
Great product!
November 10, 2015
A great little product! The product documentation is complete, although at your first look you might be puzzled and perhaps overwhelmed. Yes, the English is a little strange, but that is to be expected when it's written by a non-native writer. All the information that's needed is there, even though the screenshots are tiny and don't have high enough color contrast to read the values in the fields.I am using this device as a repeater to strengthen our WiFi signal downstairs, as our router is upstairs. I just plugged it into a wall socket, and connected to the "Wireless-N" network on a laptop. Opened the console in a browser as shown in the instructions, logged in with the default admin username and password, then selected "Repeater Wizard" from the block. Then, you just have to select the name of your WiFi network, the one you want to extend, click "Save & Apply* and wait. After a few seconds, the unit resets, and you then can re-connect to your original WiFi network.This was much easier to set up than I had thought, and it has made a big difference in the stability and strength of our signal throughout the downstairs of the house. Very pleased with this product.
Excellent As Repeate. Instructions Could Be Difficult For Newbies. Detailed Repeater Setup Below. Takes Time To Ship From China
November 6, 2015
Please note this ships from China so the shipping does take a while (weeks to a month). I am using this device in "Repeater" mode. Repeater mode means that the device will simply extend or boost an existing wireless network. This is best if you already have wifi working in your home but the signal is weak in some areas or you'd like a stronger signal further away. It took me about 3 minutes to set up but while reading the provided instructions I understand how it could be a bit confusing so here are some simplified steps for setting it up via repeater mode (These steps are ONLY for setting up via Repeater mode which I believe is what most people would be using this device for):1) Plug the device into a wall outlet near a computer or laptop that has an ethernet connection (CAT5).2) Plug a CAT-5 cable (a short CAT-5 cable is provided in the package) into the port labeled "LAN" on the device and then plug the other end into your computer or laptop.3) On your computer or laptop launch a web browser of your choice (Internet Explore, Chrome, Firefox et. al.)4) In the address bar where you would normal type a url, instead type: http://192.168.10.253 and then press [ENTER]5) You should now see a green page asking for login. Enter the default username which is "admin" and the default password which is "admin" and click "Submit" to login.6) You should now see a page with a blue square up top displaying "wizards". Click the link that says "Repeater"7) On the next screen select your current wifi network from the list of available wifi access points. Enter in the password for your current wifi network and if you want, rename the SSID for the device. For example it defaults to "Wireless-N" but I simply renamed mine to my same WiFi name and added "-Repeater" so I could easily identify the repeater access point. For example if your current WiFi SSID is "PatriotsAreCheaters" then you could rename the SSID for the device to "PatriotsAreCheaters-Repeater" Then simply submit the form and wait while the device installs the settings and reboots. Once you don't see anything and it's just a blank page that seems to be trying to reload you are probably all set.8) Now disconnect the CAT-5 cable, unplug the device from the wall and move it. Plug it into an outlet that is centrally located in the home (higher up seems better so if you are in a 2-story home choose an outlet on the 2nd floor).9) After the device boots up grab your phone or other wifi device and go into your wifi settings like you normally would to connect to a wifi network at a coffee shop. You should now see the new device SSID listed. It will be named whatever you named it in step 7. Default is "Wireless N" I believe if you did not rename it. Select it to connect and you will be prompted for a password. Enter in the SAME password for your original home wifi. You should be connected and notice a much stronger wifi signal.That's it! I hope this helps someone. It did take a long time to arrive as it shipped from China but the device does work well as a repeater and is much less expensive than others.
you will be very pleased with the range of this thing
November 1, 2015
This range extender works really well. The instructions are awful, but I'll put some tips here that will help de-code them. First, make sure your internet is working and ignore steps 1-4. Next, plug the range extender into a socket that is very close to your computer. Take an Ethernet cord from the extender to your computer. You'll need to stay connected to your existing network, then type in the IP address they have provided into the address box. Type in username and password, then go to the "repeater" (if you want to extend the range of your wifi) feature. If your existing network is secure, you'll type the password in the field that says "key". Voila, you are done. Once you do this, you will be very pleased with the range of this thing.
Does what it is supposed to. I like
October 26, 2015
Im not sure of all the features of this extender, I only wanted to extend the range of my home wifi out into the garage. It will do that. The instruction sheet is very small and hard to read (for older people like me). I emailed the vendor and they very patiently went over the process with me. Thanks to their kind reply and instructions, I was able to extend the wifi signal to my garage so I can do some music streaming. Note that this will not boost the internet speed. That will remain the same as it is with your primary internet router. This only extends the signal into other parts of your house.PROS: Extends your existing wifi to another part of your homeFairly easy to set up. After I got more instructions, it took about 15 minutes (mostly reading time)It plugs right in to your power source and the plug in can change directions so you can mount it horizontal or verticalIt is password protected so no one can leach off of itCONS: You will have to choose the new network when you are using this extender vs. your primary wifi source. Not a big deal to me, but you can't just walk from one room to another. At least thats how it is for me, you may want to clarify that.I recommend this Range Extender if you need your wifi to go a little further into your house or possibly out into the yard.

The device has taken all the best things and compacted it into a stick that take ...
August 15, 2016
I just got this a few days ago, and very impressed with how lightweight it is! The device has taken all the best things and compacted it into a stick that take up minimal space. The interface is quick and easy to use, and the image quality can be great if you have a faster internet connection is fast. More storage space, not only keep things running smooth, but also store more apps or games etc. Big surprise!!! You can use any of the thousands of paid and free apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, News and soon. It work better than other devices at this price point. In a words, I’m completely satisfied with it. So highly recommend it!!!
So easy to use
July 30, 2016
Okay, so I have been a faithful Roku fan for years. We do not have any television services, cable or anything at all. All we have watched for three years is Netflix and Amazon Prime. I was reluctant to try it, but my son-in-law showed me how great theirs was working so I decided, on Amazon Prime Day, while they were on sale, that I would buy one and give it a try. I must say I am impressed. It is very simple to install and operate. It is possibly easier than the Roku. I have only had it hooked up for a few days, but I have already been able to do so much with it. It came with my Prime account already registered to it, so I didn't have to bother with putting my information in it. It only took a couple of minutes to register my Netflix. Everything I have done on it has been so simple, I couldn't believe it. I have to mess with it some more to compare features, but as far as I can tell, this is a really good purchase. Just be sure your TV has a HDMI inlet. Click it in place, attach the power cord to an outlet, put the batteries in the remote and the TV/ Fire Stick will show you what to do. It doesn't require any special skills. Just do what it tells you to do. I would gladly purchase this item again. I still have to do some more comparing between the Fire Stick and the Roku. They are both very good.
Not bad for the price.
May 28, 2016
I didn't know what to expect with the Fire Stick because I was actually replacing my Roku which finally gave out and. I was very happy with it. It was easy to install and since I'm a Prime Member it was already registered to my account. I have to say it is very different then going through the Roku and straight to Amazon Prime. I really like the way I can easiy find any movie I want, and yes I do search manually for it because I did not order the voice controlled device. I believe you can order it at any time or you can buy the entire fire stick and the voice activated device together for a slightly hight price. At this point I'm happy with the manual search. The only thing I did not care for is that I can't get alot of the free channels I used have with the Roku. Good thing I still have another Roku device in my bedroom. Apart from that, I do like it and ordering a movie from it is very easy. I did read that you could get the different channels not offered by Amazon but you'd have to download some sort of program as a side, which I have no intention of doin since I have the second Roku. However. if you are happy with all the Prime Movies and show that Amazon offers, and there are many, many shows this should be good enough to keep you busy on a slow night or a rainy day when yo can't get out. Even my picky husband has found many movies that he's already added to your 'to watch' list. So once again, not as many channels, free or otherwise as Roku but enough to keep a person busy for quite a while, the ease of use is great. We've enjoyed many a popcorn night with a good free movie and even a few that I've bought and added to my video library. For the price, simalar in price to Roku 1 with no voice activation device, it's a good deal.
Perfect for rooms without cable.
October 26, 2015
I absolutely love the Amazon Fire TV stick. I have it in the bedroom where I do not have cable hooked up and I am still able to enjoy my favorite shows and more. I love having the option of renting movies from Amazon l, which is cheaper than renting movies from my cable provider. Having the Fire TV Stick also allows me to take advantage of my prime memberships.I do not have any problems with playback and have no buffering. The apps I have downloaded all played perfectly without and trouble.
WE LOVE THIS THING!!!!
September 4, 2015
I love this device. Now, having said that, here is why. We had a wii to watch our Netflix (very bad channel always freezing or not working) and when I got PRIME 2 years ago. We could not watch it well on the wii. Whenever we would buy a movie (even HD) we could only ever watch it in SD (SUCKED) but eventually we knew to save the extra $1 for HD and just rent the SD. But we always had problems with buffering. Yes, I understand the WII is practically ancient, but we are a budget conscious family, and it worked, so we stayed with it. Until July of this year -2015. I must repeat this multiple times throughout this review. " I LOVE THIS DEVICE!"As other 5 star reviewers, setup was super-easy. We had it working withing 10 minutes (problems with our router -hoping to buy another one -dual band since we have so many wireless devices (we are a family of 5 with 4 smartphones, and 3 computer, game systems and now the fire tv stick)But I digress. Our tv was purchased in 2010. Its a Phillips 40" but it is not a "smart tv" It has 3 HDMI ports, and luckily there is a plug about 3 feet from the hdmi port on the side. -The stick needs additional power (make sure you use the dongle) so it must be plugged into an outlet in addition to the HDMI. For us this was NOT a problem, but if you do not have this, be aware.Now, I am a PRIME member (you just can't beat the 2 days shipping especially if you are a habitual procrastinator such as I (especially around holidays such as Christmas and Birthdays ;-) So this device was doubly nice. I did not purchase the voice remote -outrageous price (as much as the stick itself!) but I did download the Fire TV stick app for voice search, and it is good enough for me. A must have for fast setup rather than hitting over and up and down to put in network SSID and password. THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU have a smart phone is download thiss APP. We don't play games, but its nice if we decide to especially with my tech savvy 7 year old. Currently we have only used it for Netflix and Amazon. Since my kids have tablets, we also do Flixster and I have yet to sign in to access our digital movies. (I only purchase DVDS -for the most part- that include the DIGITAL UltraViolet. LIFESAVER for long road trips! I liked the portability option to take on vacation -Have not done this yet. Seriously thinking about purchasing 2 more for my kids tvs in their rooms.To make a long story a little shorter, lol, I have had NONE of the problems the 1 Star raters had. This has Dual-Band, and as we have been having issues with our router, I am going to be purchasing a dual band to help with this, and will update this review if needed. We have had this for 3 months, and WE LOVE IT. Thanks AMAZON!Lastly- I have a HD 7 Fire and do not have the option for mirroring, or flinging.
I use this exclusively with Kodi/XBMC
January 9, 2015
I give this firestick 5 stars. My use is a little different than most, however this stick delivers what it's intended to deliver quite well, the menu although it could benefit from perhaps a little overhaul in organization, is easy enough to use.As far as intended function, the only suggestion i would have is to allow a little menu customization to remove categories, and bring apps from the SETTINGS>manage all apps section to the load screen at least and even better if it could automatically boot to a specified app on startup.Now I specifically, only use this for XBMC/KODI. This is one of the most popular home theater application around, and what makes this little device worth it for me.From the start, this device for use with XBMC i give it 4.5 stars. Losing only half a star for the combination of long menu click wait times (reasonable by all means, but a little longer than i like to see) and sometimes poor video quality on the big screen. See below.I will not walk through the complete install process here, a simple google search with provide tons of methods, but more of a general overview.After initial fire stick set up, you will need an application on your pc " ADB Utility" and your choice of Xbmc android builds. I personally love tvmc from tv addons. Preconfigured with the best add ons already in place! Any current instruction that advises you of stopping updates and such from the stick, you're too late. The latest firmware is already installed.After opening the above mentioned application on a computer, follow the directions to install, really really easy.To launch from amazon main dashboard, scroll all the way to settings, down to application, over to manage all applications, xbmc will be towards the bottom, launch and viola. Your into Xbmc menu. I will assume you can take it from there, otherwise there are a million resources on google, i recommend TVaddons they have great walkthroughs.As mentioned above, The menu time between selection a selection brings up the working hud, a little longer than i would like.Also occasionally hitting say the back arrow on the remote just once will make the xbmc system keypress sound multiple times as it hiccups its way back to the xbmc dashboard.I consider these very manageable quirks, part of using a device for unintended purposes.Lastly, i have found that occasionally some of SD sources, that same source looking fine on my big screen tv through my media pc, look rather pixelated. This may vary greatly from tv to tv and individual circumstances. On my 32" bedroom tv, most if not all sources look great. So since it is a standard def source stretched out, (kinda like zooming on say a cell phone picture) the same result is not had from media pc, meaning its just the video processor of the stick, is just not as strong as the pc. Which obviously is to be expected. I use HD sources when possible, with no issues of blocky or pixelated screen. And not all sd sources do it there is a good chance that the source is just that poor of quality. Also another possibility is the codec the stream is encoded in may struggle to be rendered by The stick. Again a small Quirk that isn't often a problem, expected with the unintended purpose of the stick.For those who find it important, the amazon remote has no volume button, and my media center remotes while they do move the xbmc volume slider on screen, it does not actually adjust the volume.Despite the above mentioned quirks, which were to be expected, having come from using chromecast, and a few other attempts, This amazon fire stick delivered well beyond my expectations for Xbmc/Kodi. And i would recommend it to anyone.You will soon be able to check out the Kodi forums and tv addon forums for a list of android tv devices, how do they all stack up, who sits at the top. Expected to be posted in FEB.If this review helped you , please click on the little link below, so i know i am hitting the things you need to know and that my reviews are helping people. Thanks

Lots of Options means Lots of Understanding..
January 17, 2016
Lots of options means lots of understanding..I want to say that at first I was highly disappointed, BUT.. after talking with Motoraux, they were extremely helpful in resolving the issues I identified in my original perception of this product. I would like to share my positive experience and reasons why you should consider this product for purchase.For this review I want to be clear that I've only tested and utilized the "Repeater Mode" option and therefore I'll focus on this topic ONLY.Its important that going into a product like this, you have an understanding of what you need up front. Most people, including myself looked at my dead spots in the house as needed a Wifi extender, right?The truth is, Wi-Fi extenders/repeaters come in a number of flavors and have many caveats to consider when shopping.Lets educate.. This is a 30,000 ft overview of Wi-Fi extenders/repeaters and by no means is exhaustive.In a nutshell, Wi-Fi repeaters or extenders are used to extend the coverage area of your Wi-Fi network.- Repeater is a wireless network device that repeats wireless signals to extend range without being connected with cable to either your router/modem, or your clients. Many routers/access points can be configured in "repeater" mode.- Extender has the same functionality as a repeater. Extenders are usually devices that only do repeating, and can't be set in any other mode.In one example your Wi-Fi network is called, "MyWifi-1"... A repeater captures the signal of MyWifi-1 and is configured to re-transmit it under a new name, for example, "MyWi-Fi-2". This creates two points to access the same Wi-Fi network.*** There are many discussions out there that detail Wi-Fi channel configurations, SSID's usage and so forth. As there are so many different models of routers and repeaters, it is impossible to encompass every variation. Just know with any of these, some technical insight is required to get it to run at the best possible rates.Also, some higher-end repeaters that participate within the same Wi-Fi network name can lead to the throughput being cut in half for devices connecting to it and/or cross into what is called an "Access Point" which is usually a better option if you can run a wire.As an FYI, Access point are device connected with cable (Cat5) to your main router/modem/internet, and serve clients wirelessly. The Motoraux provides support for AP mode.So ultimately, there are tons of pro's and con's to everything, so lets reel this back in as to what you get from this device.This Motoraux Repeater DOES require you to name this repeater mode with it's own unique name, such as, "My-Wi-Fi-2", though it does in fact participate on the existing Wi-Fi network and therefore normal operations such as printing and so forth are not affected.In today's world of technology adding a new wi-fi spot is NOT a big deal in my opinion and as long as you have both setup in your device list, your primary Wi-Fi and now this repeated Wi-Fi, life is pretty good.Now with the technology basics explained, lets move on.I have another brand of Wi-Fi extender and to-date have not been pleased with it's operation which is what prompted me to purchase this one. The main reason was in fact that the throughput was cut in half, maybe more, but it did use the same Wi-Fi SSID, "MyWi-Fi-1". My daughter constantly complained over being disconnected as well I ended up getting hit with data overages from the cell phone company in lue of her not paying attention to how she was connected. 1 overage bill was enough to motivate me to seek another solution.Device Configuration:Setup of this device took about 5 minutes.The trick to getting up and running quickly is as follows,- Plug the device in to power and wait about a minute or two.- Use an iPad or Android tablet to find this devices network, (Wireless-N)- Log in and choose "Repeater Mode".- Next, select your 2.4g Wi-Fi network, (5g not supported)- Enter your Wi-Fi password.- Next, you MUST create a unique name for this device, IE: "MyWifi-r". Ideally just append a "-r" to the end of your current Wi-Fi name.- Click done.At this point, the repeater will reboot and become active on your Wi-Fi network. If you scan for it, you'll now see this device available to connect too. Simply add it to your wifi's using the same PW as your regular Wi-Fi and you're good to go.So How Does it Work?I was actually pleased to see that this nearly matched my primary Wi-Fi speed in comparison to my last extender device which cut the throughput down by up to 80%.I tested the Motoraux from both my phones, my iPads as well my TV's. In fact that was one of my challenges because the original slow extender would cause buffering on my 75" TV using Amazon fire stick and you never would know if a device was flip-flopping from the primary Wi-Fi to the extender under the same SSID name.The Motoraux device on the other hand has proven in the last week or two of testing to be much stronger and reliable than the other unit as well throughput is pretty comparable to my primary WiFi. .So why did I not give it 5 stars?Since amazon only gives 1,2,3,4,5 stars, I want to note this is probably a 4.25 rating and here's why.As I mentioned in the education section of this review, not only higher end devices can encapsulate your existing Wi-Fi name, but administration is still possible. Once I configured this device in Repeater Mode, ability to administer it appears to have been removed. I can only assume this is a software/firmware limitation or similar.I am hopeful they will release updated software that enables you to administer this device from whatever mode you are in.Currently, if you want to reconfigure it or simply administratively access it, after setting it up as a Repeater, you have to factory reset it by putting a pin in the side for up to 10 seconds. I have reached out to customer support in regards to this and are awaiting their feedback.In conclusion, this Motoraux works well in Repeater Mode and would recommend it based on price point as well ability to maintain the speed of my network and devices connecting to it. I've included pics from my network performance tests and overall are reasonably satisfied with the results in Repeater Mode.Moving forward, I do intend to test the AP functions of this device and will modify this review with the results in time.
Works great, but a bit difficult to set up
December 9, 2015
I really wish I could give the product 5 stars, but I cannot. The documentation is unclear and further to that it is written in a very small font. The net is that it (the documentation) is almost unusable. However, the sellers have recognized this issue and emailed me instructions for installing the unit in my network. They were also very responsive to my questions with the few problems I encountered.I would highly recommend installing the unit using the reset method.- Use a toothpick or paperclip and press the reset until the WPS light becomes solid; wait for about 3 seconds and release- The WPS light will go out and the WLAN LED light will flash- At this point, the unit is reset. You can then easily logon onto the unit with the following IP address: 192.168.10.253- I would use your phone (iPhone or Android) during the installation to prevent router disallowing certain MAC addresses- With your phone, type 192.168.10.253 in Safari / Chrome / your preferred browser- The Motoraux UI will come up; select "Repeater;" then, select the SSID of the network you want to connect to (this is the same SSID of your home network); the system will then ask you for a key -- this is the same password / key for your home network's router- Press Save and Reboot- Connect your Phone to Wireless-N SSID....you will be all set- Then connect other devices to Wireless-N ... use the same WPA2 key for your home network's routerAll in all, a bit of a pain to set up but the unit works great. If anyone needs any assistance with the Motoraux, please email me.
Difficult set up, but once you get it working, does a great job.
October 18, 2015
Anyone that gets this device, please know that in order for it to work as a wireless extender, you need to set up the REPEATER mode. Once you figure that out, and work your way through the instructions, it makes things much better for wireless internet range. I wish there was a way to make the instructions clearer, but its mostly translation issues and my own lack of knowledge on how repeater devices work.

Great portable streaming device!
July 2, 2017
Easy to navigate, and relatively quick to respond this is an excellent entry into the streaming services stand-alone devices. It's not as fast as other, more powerful boxes (fire TV, wrote to etc.) but it does the job and is a simple fix. My favorite part of this device is that it's portable – I bring it with me to hotels or when I travel so I can enjoy my items and streaming lists wherever I go. The only trouble is if the TV is mounted to the wall it's difficult to plug the stick in, but that has only happened to me once. Obviously, as technology grows, it was shortly after purchasing this that upgrades were available, voice control was made an option, and that overall production and quality output seem to increase. All all I've on the unit for almost 2 years and it still streams well, except Wi-Fi easily and meets my needs on the go.
Freezes and won't load some YouTube
April 18, 2017
It seems that I never watch regular TV anymore. Between Amazon, Netflix and YouTube, that's all I do now. Lol.The picture freezes at times and sometimes won't load a clip from YouTube where I just go back to the Home section, into settings and restart the FireStick.Love the fact it's Bluetooth and you don't have to aim it, lol.Would of course order again but, so far it's working basically fine.
Display looks very nice and it is full of features
September 27, 2016
Very intuitive. Display looks very nice and it is full of features. There are lots of shortcomings when it comes to being a true streaming device, but at this price and if you are a Prime customer, this is one of the best options. It is very slow. Switching between apps and loading is painfully slow. A better processor in the upper models alleviates this. Also, if you are not exclusive to prime, but like the fire stick for its all encompassing apps, you still have to endure the app layout that tries to make it impossible for you to do anything else other than amazon related functions. In my case, if you have an older HDTV that is one of the simplest way to make it Smart.
I love it! I can now binge watch Netflix!
September 4, 2016
I bought this Fire stick to be able to watch Netflix on my tv. I had a little trouble initially getting it to work. I read the instructions and thought they said to charge the fire stick before use, and then to plug the stick into the tv when you want to use it. I had a little trouble getting it to work this way. My son was able to get it to work by plugging the stick into a power source while it's plugged into the port on the tv. So it works but now I have a cord running from the tv to the plug whenever I want to use it. Obviously I'm not a very tech savvy person so I'm not sure if my confusion was due to poor instructions or my own error or what. Thankfully I have a kid around to help me get things to work. I guess I'm officially old now.I bought this item on sale for $24.99 and that was a great deal and we're now able to use services we are already paying for anyway on any of the tvs in our house. The stick is small and lightweight and easily portable even though it needs to be plugged in separately to work. I'm very happy with this purchase and will be buying more to add to the other tvs in the house so that I can run the cord along with the other cords so it won't be hanging down the wall.
Great little streaming stick
July 27, 2016
This product is really great for its portability and how cost effective this product is Being a prime member makes this product even more worthwhile but if you need more power you could always check out the FireTV which boasts double the power at the 100usd mark at the time of checkingPros:Small: easily fits in your pocket or backpack while taking little spaceCost: for what your getting your getting quite the dealRemote: the remote that comes with it does not have to be directly pointed at it like you would have to deal with in an ir blaster remoteApps: you could install most apps used to stream video media as this product stems from Android codingQuality: the remote and everything that comes with the package is above average quality which is always niceDual-band: its able to work on either 5ghz or 2.4ghz wifi bands and that's greatCons:Heat: for such a small device it does generate quite a bit of heat - to be notedApps: it does not have every app that the play store doesConclusion:this is a lovely streaming stick it does most streaming jobs while being very portable you can also choose to send one to a family member without being registered to your amazon account by gifting it i totally recommend checking this product out i would like to see how you like it as im totally contentAny questions let me know i hope this review helped outBest regards,Andy
Good - Could Be Better
April 11, 2016
I love that the fire stick USB connection is cordless and doesn't take up room on our entertainment platform. The remote is small and sleek, but gets lost very easily in our house. Especially because we have a 2 year old that carries it around, assuming that it will work for every TV in the house. I find myself wishing that it had a bright purple wrist strap like our Roku remote. Or even better, I wish that all Fire sticks were equal and had a remote finding feature. It would be nice if there was an option to upgrade to this. But, there is a good alternative, which is to use the Fire TV Stick remote app. My husband and I use it on our phone all the time, but you do need to wait for the internet connection to load every time you open the app. It takes several seconds to search and find the Fire Stick connection.If I were to choose between Roku's home screen layout and Amazon's FireTV home screen layout, I would choose Roku. It is hard to find the things I want to watch on Amazon Prime with the way they have things set up. I like the Amazon Prime app on Roku much better than the Fire Platform. I also wish Amazon prime was more like Netflix. I always have an easier time finding things with Netflix.Pandora doesn't appear to work with Amazon Fire Stick. I've tried to use it several times and the loading icon spins around and around for as long as you leave the screen up. I'm not sure why it's not compatible, but I don't enjoy using Amazon music as much. Pandora is set up with all of my favorite stations and they have the new thumbprint radio which plays all the songs that I have favored across all stations. I usually end up playing Pandora on my Bluetooth speaker instead or, just moving to another room where we have Roku. Roku works well with Pandora.I'm glad that we have the Fire TV Stick, but I think it needs some improvements.

Would not recommend
January 12, 2016
Not the best Range Extender I have purchased. I would look at others. I purchased it because it was on sale. Setup wasnt that difficult but it has limited range compared to others.Here is an update for you. Their customer relations was really unhappy with my previous 3 star review. So they sent me their Motorau N300 wireless-N unit. This unit actual worked well. Still super awkward setup. People I do IT work for a living and typically find wireless adaptors simple to setup. 4 stars for their customer relations but this product is not worth it. Buy their N300 wireless if your going to stick with these folks. Honestly I would pay more and get an Amped Repeater if your looking for a repeater.
NO SUPPORT PHONE #
December 28, 2015
I APPRECIATED BILL'S REVIEW AS IT HELPED ME BIG TIME! I purchased this after my edimax wifi extender cube broke x 5. Yes I purchased it 5 separate times and didn't bother sending it in for replacement because of the low cost, BUT ATLEAST I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO A LIVE PERSON THERE THIS PRODUCT HAS NO CONTACT INFORMATION ON THE BOX AND OR ON THE WEBSITE.. VERY FRUSTRATING. AFTER READING BILL'S REVIEW I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT SET UP, CAN'T SAY YET HOW IT WORKS YET BUT I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT NO WHERE ON THE BOX OR INSTRUCTIONS CAN YOU FIND A SUPPORT PHONE NUMBER OR A MANUFACTURERS NAME ASIDE FROM IT BEING MADE IN CHINA...BUYER BEWARE IF THE DEVICE GOES DEFECTIVE I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE..

December 16, 2015
I have tried every method possible to get this device to work. The instructions were horribly written and I couldn't see the example on the instruction page, because it was blurred. I took a break and just tried it again......I want to use it as an extender, so I go through the process fine until I get to the part where my computer is suppose to reboot. Nothing happens. Anybody have any suggestions?Tonight, I read another customer's review at which time I learned he posted the instructions, using his Kindle instead of a PC. His instructions were so easy to follow and now I have wi fi throughout my home.I'm changing my review to a "3" now.
Hope you got some time on your hands...
December 2, 2015
An okay product for the price. The initial configuration took a lot longer than I would have liked. Not very easy to use and super sloooooooow! But once configured they do the trick. The range is okay, but not the best. While it's not fair to compare it to other, more expensive products--it's performance through walls isn't the best. But if you are just trying to snag that last corner of your house which lacks wi-fi and you have some patience to do some installation, this isn't a bad product to pick-up.
Instructions: easier said than done; a tech friend came over configured it quickly
November 15, 2015
At first it was difficult for me to configure this WiFi repeater. I thought I was computer savvy, but this challenged my prowess. So I communicated with the seller and he gave me some suggestions. I called a local computer tech that got the mini WiFi working quickly. I passed some of this information onto the seller about how he could improve the instructions. The unit works very well now and my neighbor can connect to the Wireless-N's network signal from 75 feet away.
UPDATE
October 30, 2015
I like it, it works well and is pretty easy to set up.I am currently using it as an extender/ booster (my router is in the basement) and it does a good jobBoosts the signal through one wall out to the porch for streaming movies.Wish it was a little stronger, but for the price you cant beat it. I will probably order one more for the bedroom.UPDATE: Initially I liked it a lot, extended my wifi out to my patio outside with no issues. I have purchased a new router and cant get it to register with the new router. I cant figure it out, and don't have the paperwork anymore. good luck

Good product but can be hard to navigate
July 2, 2017
I have a Fire stick, Roku, and Apple TV. They all have pros and cons. The Fire stick takes some time to learn how to navigate all of the features. It can sometimes catch you getting confused by whats included with your prime membership to watch and what is something that needs to be paid for or rented. I am a huge Apple product person and love the features of the Apple TV. You can wirelessly connect your iPhone or iPad quickly and play anything on it to your TV. However the Apple TV is expensive and for a non tech person can be hard to figure out. The Roku is so simple and for my parents it is easy for them to navigate. It displays Netflix and Amazon Prime shows very easy to navigate. Simple buttons make for easy understanding immediately. The Fire stick is great for me who can navigate and learn new tech stuff but if you aren't the most tech savvy I would buy a Roku.
OK depending upon the app
April 23, 2017
I've been using this for a year now. It only gets two stars because Amazon video and Netflix worked well. I wish I could return it. It works horribly on watch Food Network. Then today when I went into watch one of my amazon videos I could hear what should have been playing but I could only see an image from Food Network and I was trying to watch MythBusters, I have no Food Network videos that I own. The only reason I bought this was the Roku was not playing nice with Amazon. However the Roku which is several years old works a heck of a lot better with watch Food Network, although still not perfect, but a lot better. So the fire stick is taking another nap and who knows when I'll wake it up. If you're going to buy this find the apps in the Amazon store that you intend to use on it and look at their ratings before purchasing this. I upped it one star because after unplugging it for a night it did decide to play the Amazon videos. However this might be the last night I use it because the new interface is so complicated and aggravating that I will just go back to the Roku.
I thought getting the Fire TV stick would be at least as good. To me it is not
July 10, 2016
Not overly impressed. Have been a Roku user since the first one came out and currently using a Roku 3, I thought getting the Fire TV stick would be at least as good. To me it is not. I purchased it from Best Buy because we discontinued DISH and signed up for Playstation Vue so we needed a device in addition to our existing Roku for the other TV in the house. Since you can not yet set up separate user profiles on Playstation Vue when playing it through a Roku we thought the Amazon Fire TV Stick would be the better purchase since you can use that feature on it. While that was a nice plus, the swap out in terms of speed and functionality do not seem to make it a better device. It works much slower than my current Roku 3 and the remote response also is not consistent. I am not liking this device at all and seriously considering returning it for a new Roku instead.UPDATE 7/11/16I have found that updating the system software helps it to function some better.The steps for this are:Check & Update Your Amazon Fire TV Device Software--To view the current software version installed on your device:From the Home screen, select Settings.Select System, and then select About.Next to Amazon Fire TV, look for the Software Version.To manually check for a software update:From the Home screen, select Settings.Select System, and then select About.Select Check for System Update. If an update is available, it starts downloading automatically.After the download is complete, select Install System Update to install the update immediately. Otherwise, the update automatically installs the next time you restart your device, or after your device has been idle for more than 30 minutes.I still find this unit to be slower to function than my Roku 3 and I like my Roku 3 better but this was cheaper so I guess you get what you pay for.UPDATE: 7/13/16Purchased a Roku Stick 3600R (2016 model) to see if it was any better. The Roku performs MUCH better! The speed is faster, the layout is much nicer to use, the remote is easier to use and you can still upload all your Amazon Prime videos on it. It is just like using a Roku 3. The Amazon Fire stick will be going back to the store. If you are on the fence about this, spend the extra $10 and get a Roku.
firestick = fire hot. my firestick literally just melted.
June 12, 2016
well, my firestick has been great since day one, but over the past few days i've been rearranging my home a/v equipment and resituating devices. i moved my firestick from behind the tv to using an hdmi extension and placing it in my entertainment center, and started noticing massive temperature increases. i have mounted cooling fans and airflow where the device is, and no troubles with my other dongle devices. over the past 24 hours i've been researching cooling methods and heatsinks...and i just checked on it again after plugging it back in to test ambient temps (it's been too hot to even touch when plugged in) and it seems it gave up the ghost...in the form of melting.thankfully i was home and watching the device as this could have been a serious incident.amazon...this is a serious design flaw for a usb powered device to melt like this...i really liked the device and had no performance issues until about 2 days ago (i got it i think in 2014? early bird). it worked fine and ran fine...but i'm now a little leery of replacing it, and especially leery of forking over more money for one. picture attached.
meh, get a roku
June 7, 2016
I got this for my parents.Its okay, its just amazon biased (obviously). So if you have a hulu, netflix, or an hbo account, it's harder to navigate to them since the fire stick pushes amazon prime video down your throat, which is terrible to say the least. I'm a long time prime subscriber and literally never use prime video since it's just outdated movies and tv shows that couldn't make money elsewhere. The original content is good (I did like transparent), but that's it. If mostly watching other apps (hulu, netflix, hbo etc...) then get a roku - it's unbiased and easier to navigate and still has prime, so you're not losing anything.I have a roku, xbox one and the fire tv stick. The stick is my least favorite, but it still works fine.
Disappointed to say the least!!!
January 17, 2016
None of the reviews I read, before my purchase, indicated that the tv programs on the Fire still require a local provider in order to watch shows on those channels. I was highly disappointed when I went to watch some of the shows I normally watch on cable and realized I still had to have cable in order to watch them on the Fire. The biggest advantage of the Fire is you can watch previous episodes of shows, if it is something you normally watch and maybe missed an episode or two of a previous season, and of course the movies. I bought three of these and the one I use for my bedroom is so far away from the wifi it looses connectivity very easily. I am having to stream football playoff games on my phone with NFL Mobile because I can't watch them on Fox Sports, even though it is on the fire, because I have no service provider (which I cancelled because of getting the Fire). I rated this okay but I am not happy and very disappointed I didn't do more research before trying to save a few dollars!!!

Complicated to setup.
February 10, 2016
Very complicated to setup the instructions provided were confusing also. Bought a different product and it works great, easy setup.
Too many bugs in firmware.
February 7, 2016
This is WiFi device has the worst firmware of any of the dozen or so routers I have set up as a LAN administrator. Basically, you have to expect to factory reset the device and implement your updates when you reconfigure the router. I have had some success re-accessing it when I've made minimal changes to the setup default, but as soon as I try to use it as an AP, forget it.The only reason I gave it two stars and not one, is their tech support emailed me promptly after I contacted them. They didn't seem to understand my issue and I didn't have the time to elaborate, so I dropped it. However, their website clearly addresses my problem:"Q: I wanna go back to change the setting of Motoraux after setting it up, but I fail to access the login page.A: Please note that after you’ve successfully set up Motoraux, the IP address is unable to access unless you do the reset and set it up again. Then you can change the setting during your setup." [...]Another issue I had with the device is when I configured the LAN to use 192.168.0.xxx, it would use 1992.168.1.xxx. Other than horrendous setup issues, the WiFi has a good signal and I have resolved myself to use the "Factory Reset" option for changing the settings.Their support site does not have any firmware updates, perhaps they will come out with fixes.
Disappointed
January 5, 2016
This requires an outlet to plug the device into and then plug it into my modem. I don't have a wall outlet close enough to use this this. Disappointed.

December 8, 2015
Seems to work well as a signal repeater, but the instructions are so bad I can't give it a good review. Just throw the instructions away when you get this device and look online.
Cannot set up one of them
December 4, 2015
Bought 2, first one setup pretty easily. The second one will not accept the username and password. I tried a factory reset several times to no avail. Unplugged for a while and still won't allow the username/password combination user user. Also this one shows up as RTL 11nAp as the other shows up as Wireless-N as default names. I guess different manufacturers or firmware. Both were bought at the same time and are the exact same model. I guess you get what you pay for. i also tried the WPS button and it will not connect that way either.

You used to work Fire stick ....
September 6, 2017
This has become pretty much useless with time. When I initially got the Firestick I wanted to see what it could do that Chrome couldn't. And of course, if I wanted to put my Prime Videos on the TV, I no longer could do that with Chrome - hurray for competition (not!) so I needed an alternative.The firestick is closely related to anything Amazon - just like Chrome is anything Google. But at least with Google, any app can use Cast. The problem with the stick started out with being the remote control. I could NEVER find it - I would have the movie/thing on my computer or mobile phone but that didn't help any. The menu to use with time also got major changes, and from being "ok" it's become annoying and hard to use. It's impossible to search for find anything other than what Amazon promotes.The final straw making it useless, is that it's way too slow now. With all the changes Amazon has pushed to the stick, it's become less than functional. It's extremely slow reacting to even a "next item" click - takes minutes to load simple apps like youtube and trying to play media takes even longer. Once running, it USUALLY works but not always. It gets stuck often and you have to yank the power to fix it. Clearly it's super under-dimensioned for the features Amazon is pushing to it.From a functional perspective, I really wish it worked better with my phone (android). I'm so used to just hitting "cast" with google, that anything that isn't that easy just gets in my way. While it's not expensive, I'm not sure it's much of an alternative to a $10 Chromecast device you can pick up on ebay or anywhere.
Save your money...really
July 26, 2016
We usually use a Roku to get Amazon and Netflix exception however they were having their Prime shipping day and so I decided to splurge and get this much raved about item. It is really not very good. They claim you will not have to worry about rebooting and we have twice as much rebooting as we ever had with the Roku. It takes the picture a while before it is clear enough to see everything as you should on an HD TV. It also gets extremely hot when it is plugged in to the TV and I'm not sure if that is good. When we set it up the fire-stick recommended that we get a game controller buy Amazon and so we did. The game controller which I've already rated somewhere else was a bust and just locked up our fire stick. I unplugged the fire stick from the TV and it did not change the fact that the screen was stuck. I had to unplug the fire stick from the wall in order for the screen to stop being stuck. I move the Roku to another room which needed it so I will not be replacing this fire stick quite yet. However when there's a sale on Roku boxes this fire stick will probably go to the thrift shop. Amazon is a great business and make so many wonderful products it's a shame that this is not one of them.
but not as nice as my big screen television
May 5, 2016
I bought this through Amazon on a one day only sale for $30 buck. I figured with all the positive reviews, I couldn't go wrong. I have been a Prime customer for the past several years and haven't been able to take advantage of the free prime movies. I know I could watch them on my laptop, but not as nice as my big screen television. I was really excited when my fire stick arrived in the mail. Setup took a little longer than expected. The fire stick didn't want to connect to my modem. After approximately 7-8 attempt of having to re-enter my modem password, it finally connected. I viewed the short introductory movie on the fire stick and continued on to the prime movies section. I attempted to watch my 1st movie, but the fire stick had a problem with my internet speed. It asked if I wanted to download and watch it later, which I did. During my wait, I telephoned Amazon customer care department concerning not being able to watch any movies. I was told by the representative, "your modem has to be within 10 feet of the fire stick". I was highly upset to say the least. My home office is on the other side of my house where my modem is and NO WHERE did I read this info prior to buying this product. I have since ordered a Wi-Fi extender and am hoping that this may help me. Currently, I am LESS THAN SATISFIED with this device and a little upset that Amazon didn't have this information on their website. I will await the Wi-Fi extender and see what happens, otherwise I will have to return it. This was definitely less then what I expected from Amazon.
The streaming quality is far inferior to the roku stick ...
December 17, 2015
The streaming quality is far inferior to the roku stick. I know this because I bought the amazon stick first, and although I only watch TV once or twice week, we put up with about 6 weeks of frustration. At first I thought maybe the internet was slow on a Friday night, or the TV's placement in some shelving, or maybe we needed to use the HDMI port on the front so as not to block the wireless. Finally I was frustrated enough to just order a roku and see. Well, the Roku works perfectly under the same conditions where the Amazon stick can't stream smoothly. Unfortunately for me, since it took me more than one month to figure this out, Amazon won't offer a full refund. I believe that Amazon should stand behind the product and issue a full refund, and I would caution others from buying this product knowing that if you do have a problem but cannot definitively figure out your issue in the first few weeks, you will not receive a full refund.
So Disappointed...
June 16, 2015
Let me start off by saying how excited I was to buy this. I don't really like watching tv on my phone or laptop because I get distracted. I much prefer watching it on a big screen. The Firestick is something I've had my eye on for months and finally bought. I've only had it for 2 days, but both days I've encountered problems. It started off working fine but after a short while on both nights I went to use it, it stopped connecting to my wifi. My phone was still connected, so I knew that the Internet wasn't the problem. Tonight I restarted it a half dozen times and it did nothing. After an hour of wasting my time, I'm giving up. I unplugged the stick from the back of my tv and noticed it was quite warm, so I don't know if it's an overheating problem or what. But overall, I'm extremely disappointed. I'm giving it two stars for now because I have seen it work for short periods of time and I haven't had it that long. However, if it continues with these problems, I'm going to have no choice but to return it.
I really WANT to love this device
January 20, 2015
I really WANT to love this device. It's serving as a replacement for our XBox, which had really become nothing more than a Netflix/Prime video utility. The interface is great. The integration with the Prime services is fantastic. I really like the mobile remote interface. All around just great, BUT....My problem is that it just seem flake-y. nondescript i know. I have constant buffering problems with the device. Doesn't matter what service/app i'm using. It's not consistent, some times i'll get 2/3s of the way through a show or movie. Sometimes, i can get enough buffering to start a song in pandora or amazon prime. Physically unplugging the device and then plugging it back in has worked every time. I've done what i consider to be a ridiculous amount of troubleshooting including: different access points, different physical locations, different power cables, different network configurations, all to no avail. I have zero problems streaming from other devices, like the xbox located ~2 feet away using the same access methods.Maybe it is just me. There's some network configuration i've overlooked, or some really finessed interference that i can't find or 'see' with any other device or utility. But to me and all who've helped me try to diagnose the issue it certainly APPEARS that the Fire TV Stick itself is the source of the issue.Maybe a software update is due, and it'll make the device as awesome as i expected it to be. It'll be a 4, maybe 5 star-er if that ever happens.

Pure crap, too light to even be used as a paperweight
November 27, 2016
I concur with the other reviewer "this is a piece of junk, and most of the positive reviews are complete BS--sponsored or promoted." Same issues as other 1 star reviews: I bought this last year (it worked ok) and now it has stopped working; you can't reset it (per their instructions) and the wi-fi (light not on) won't work, can't access it via the LAN cable, nothing. It sleeps with the fishes, it is dead to me, throwing it out in the morning. You might as well burn your money if you're going to buy this piece of crap. The Motoraux website is pretty comical too.
Bad all around.
January 18, 2016
I was getting a poor Wi-Fi signal in the far rooms of my house, so I decided to give this device a try. It was a mistake.This thing does not work well. I set it up correctly, then did it again because I figured I must have done something wrong. My signals were not boosted in the least. Nothing was better, everything was worse. It slowed down my connections and was just not useful. On top of that, the instructions are hard to understand and were clearly not written by someone who speaks English well. The company also does not have good support.You should not get this product. If you're wavering and unsure, don't buy it. Certainly don't buy it if you don't already know how to set up a router or an access point, because the instructions are bad enough that you will have to rely on your existing knowledge to figure it out. Not recommended.
Beware! Do yourself a favor and READ all the REVIEWS before placing an order on this @&$ device! Its annoyingly FRUSTRATING! 0*
January 5, 2016
From a hectic setup at first to working conditions for about a month, then mysteriously pretends to run, yet my various devices cant connect to it even thought theyre all set within mac filtering and login credentials, both on the extender and wifi devices. Theyll try and skip and or reboot connecting process.What Ive noticed is that my computer kept waking up from sleep while I had this extender plugged in the wall and running along with my network yet not being able to connect to it.The most funny fact with this device is the range. I bought this hoping to be made by different standards than here in america. Comes out this is very weak extender when it comes to wifi signal broadcasting. My main wifi source is about 10 yards away from this. Picks the signal good, and from its location 10 yards away from the wifi source, walking outdoors, the main wifi source has merely 2dB lesser signal strength than this cheap pathetic "repeater" thats being 10 yards closer to me. Isnt that odd? But as first mentioned, I have a security concerns about using this and actually feel more relieved ever since Unplugged it off the wall. Oh, not to mention physical aspect, the wall socket adapter that can be taken out. It did snapped off on me once I twisted the unit while unplugging. Adapter was left in wall socket and taking it out was quite scary as I didnt want to get electrocuted. Yes, 110V isnt 220V but still. It just says all about this product by all means not being recommended. Despite seeing mixed reviews I gave it a chance and bought it cheap (about 30 bucks or so, after months of having it and two times setting it up feeling im solving mysterious puzzles due to its retarded GUI, I wish I didn't try to be so cheap and save money on this kind of device and went with brand and actual "quality" product instead.
It had great instructions and worked
November 13, 2015
Instructions were impossible to read. I suspect the positive reviews were bogus (that's what Fakespot said). Could not get it to connect to my router, but maybe that's because I couldn't read the instructions (printed with light blue ink). Returned to Amazon and bought a namebrand for about the same price. It had great instructions and worked.

Poor instructions. Returned item.
Total user experience failure.
November 5, 2015
I would say I'm pretty tech savvy and I could not get this range extender to work. I wasted an hour trying to read through pages of instructions (there is only one page but there are some 12 panels written in 6 or 8 size font). Moreover, there is no tech support. I couldn't even find their website.

Stopped working after 1 year of use on Samsung TV.
September 24, 2017
I ordered this in June 2015. It completely stopped working after about 1 year, but prior to dying, it had issues streaming video -- constant buffering, randomly rebooting during streaming and turning off completely. Now, my Fire Stick attempts to install updates, but crashes every time it reboots, then starts trying to update again. This cycle repeats itself. I have a couple of friends who experienced the exact same issues as mine. Perhaps I received a lemon, but I would not purchase this item again. My other gripe is that the UI lagged a lot from day one.Very disappointing, Amazon. If a representative from Amazon sees this review, please contact me. I would like to replace my faulty Fire Stick with a new one.
Laggy, buggy, and frustrating to use.
August 3, 2017
The Fire TV Stick is a great concept but very poorly executed. The tiny device is simply under-powered for it's designed tasks. The wi-fi range is horrible and frequently drops the signal, often during streaming movies. When connected it consistently shows a "good" or "poor" connection even though the router is against an adjacent wall, maybe 15ft away. Loading screens and menus in the interface is as slow as the internet on a 56K modem with frequent hang ups and loading errors. The worst part is that after a day or two between uses, I am forced to restart the device to re-establish the connection even though it says "connected" to my home wi-fi. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have to restart the device every single time we use the TV Stick after a two days between uses.

for over a year I thought this was a great product everything worked wonderfully in the last 3 months I have had both of my fire stick stopped working for screen mirroring or casting there seems to be no intuitive response to the simple desire to stream from smartphone or tablet to your TV this used to be so easy you almost did it accidentally but long behold the great corporate brain power has gone and fixed what wasn't broken so damn well that you want to throw the thing through the wall I cannot recommend this product in any way shape or form in fact I'm getting ready to find an alternative cuz roukoz though they take a little bit of knowledge can more easily be connected with your other smart devices in your home. really really really sad that it took a year of almost Flawless performance to become a burdensome headache. long time Amazon Prime member
Inferior to the Roku. Lots of Freezing, Stuttering, Pauses, and Lags
December 3, 2015
I have the Amazon Fire TV Stick as well as a Roku 3 in different rooms in our house. The Amazon Fire TV Stick though cheaper has quite a few drawbacks. (Personally I prefer the Roku but here's why).Cons: Though it's not shown, the electrical plug sticks out the side of the Fire TV Stick. This makes it difficult depending on how you're plugging it in. You will need an end slot or else you'll be taking two slots because nothing will plug in beside it.After plugging in the Fire TV Stick to the receiver, I had some strange interference with my television while watching cable. I did not have this problem when the Fire TV Stick was plugged into my TV directly but I also lost out on Dolby Digital audio.I use Plex and the app wanted to charge me a one time $5 fee. It's not terrible but my Roku 3 didn't charge me anything. I don't know if the Roku stick would charge you a $5 fee as well or if there's an agreement between Roku and Plex.Searching for titles on the Roku gives you the content across multiple platforms. Since this is an Amazon product, it's going to point you at Amazon movies first, whereas you might be able to rent for free if you have a Netflix account or Hulu, etc.Pros: It's portable. It was easy for me to use it for another television when our Samsung Netflix app crapped out. You can also take it with you to a hotel but you will need to plug it in to the wall (electrical plug) in order to power the unit, which connects to the HDMI.The interface is easy to use.I believe there are some games on the Fire TV Stick. I haven't tried any of them.Overall I'm not impressed with the Fire TV Stick but for the price if you want Netflix, it's probably okay. Just be prepared to either put the Fire Stick at the far right end of your HDMI plugs or risk using two slots.Update: After owning the Fire Stick for four months it is inferior to Roku. The video for Netflix and Amazon stutters, pauses, and lags. Then it speeds up to catch up like fast forward mode. The remote at times is also slow to respond. In the end I'm buying a third Roku for a third television. The Fire Stick ends up in the giveaway pile for charity. Maybe someone else will have better luck with it. Not for me. I like to watch television that doesn't stutter or freeze.
Google chrome is better and less expensive the only problem with google chrome ...
November 1, 2015
Google chrome is better and less expensive the only problem with google chrome stick is you can't have amazon prime on there which makes sense but we had to return our Amazon Fire stick twice after months of calling and customer service doing everything they could to fix our main problem which was and still is it skips constantly on every thing Netflix prime HBO go..our Google chrome stick has never skipped once this Amazon fire stick does it without fail multiple time throughout a movie show music etc. and customer service has no other answers for me except that it must be our internet which makes no sense if Google chrome stick on our other tv never ever gives us any problems. We have to clear the data usage every single time we watch a movie or show so that the skipping is bearable it's so disappointing
Another connectivity problem, add this to the heap......Fix the Stix
January 26, 2015
Amazon...what is the problem w/connectivity? It worked okay at first but now will not connect w/my wi-fi. I get to first page then refuses to recognize my wi-fi.......Apparently this is a frequent problem. almost 1000 comments on it. I dont believe its the TV, I actually bought a new wifi system and still no good, its in the same room, and now Ive spent more time on this then I really wanted. But it haunts me, what is the problem? Is it me, is it the product, is it something that I can change about myself. Come on a trouble shooting help wouldnt kill you would it? How about an upgrade, or admission that maybe you have a problem. Then we can go from there. Pls fix this stix.......
