Three objects that can block the WiFi connection of your Amazon Fire TV Stick

THERE'S nothing worse than buffering and Wi-Fi problems when you're trying to watch TV.

Connectivity issues can affect any device, not just your Amazon Fire TV Stick.

And there are several objects around your home that can pose a problem for Wi-Fi signals to reach your favorite gadgets.

But simply moving your router or Fire TV Stick can make a big difference.

Here are three little-known objects around your home that may be affecting your Wi-Fi and Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Bluetooth devices

Bluetooth devices such as wireless headphones and speakers can interfere with Wi-Fi signals.

The closer these devices are to the router, the worse the interference becomes.

So it's best to keep these away from your router and Fire TV Stick whenever possible.

Metal objects

Metal is a difficult material to penetrate, so it's no surprise that they can make it more difficult for signals.

So if your router or Fire TV Stick is near large metal objects, it could have an impact.

This includes things like doors, walls or building infrastructure.

A general rule of thumb for your router is to make sure it has a nice headspace to breathe.

The television

You may be wondering how the TV can cause a problem if the Fire TV Stick needs to be plugged into the back of a TV.

Well, the electronic interference can disrupt signals.

This is why Amazon recommends people use the HDMI extender for optimal Wi-Fi performance and controller performance so it doesn't get stuck right behind your TV.

So dig it out of the box and give your Fire TV Stick some extra space, slightly away from the TV.
