Tips for the best picture
- Use the Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max for 4K channels; older Lite models are limited to Full HD.
- If your router is far away, an Amazon Ethernet adapter makes the picture far more stable than Wi-Fi.
- Clear the player's cache every few weeks: Settings → Applications → Manage installed applications → your player → Clear cache.
Firestick & Fire TV IPTV questions
Is it safe to allow unknown apps on Firestick?
Yes, as long as you only install apps you trust. The setting only lets Downloader install the file you enter, and you can switch it off again after installation.
Why does my Firestick buffer on some channels?
Usually weak Wi-Fi. Move the router closer, switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi or use an Ethernet adapter, and clear the app cache. Our buffering guide has more fixes.
Can I use the same login on two Firesticks?
You can install it on both, but they can only stream at the same time if your plan includes two or more connections.
