How to Stop Amazon Fire TV Stick Disconnecting from Wi-Fi Internet?

Why Does My Firestick Keep Disconnecting From wi-fi?

The main reason your firestick keeps disconnecting from wi-fi is because the firmware is outdated, the wifi signal is weak, or the number of router users has reached its maximum limit.

 

  • Outdated firmware
  • Weak wifi signals
  • Maximum users on wifi router
  • Slow internet connection

 

Outdated firmware

Firmware is software installed in hardware by manufacturers for the proper functioning of that hardware.

Outdated firmware can cause all kinds of problems, including connectivity issues with your wifi. Updating the firmware regularly is important.

 

Weak wifi Signals

A regular wifi router is said to have a range of 150 feet; this is indoors, and if the router is outdoors, then about 300 feet is the range.

If your Wi-Fi router is placed farther than this range, the firestick would have trouble receiving Wi-Fi signals. The firestick will disconnect from the wifi if the signals are too weak.

 

Maximum Users On wifi

An average wifi router can support about 250 devices simultaneously. Most homes don’t have 250 devices, but as the number of devices increases, the internet speed is shared amongst those devices slowing down the internet.

This leads to slow internet speed, and if the firestick is experiencing slow internet speed, it may disconnect from the wifi.

 

Slow Internet Connection

If your internet speed is slow, then the chances are that the firestick will disconnect from the wifi in an attempt to look for another source of internet with better speed.
