EX2700
Hello, Quick Question: I have just installed my WiFi Range Extender to connect my Firestick via Ethernet. It all seems fine. And, in Firestick Settings it says 'Connected by Ethernet' which is what ...
Thank you very much for your help.
Maybe I will just get a longer ethernet cable and plug it into the router.
You ahve been a great help.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend,
it does seem like a bit of a waste. A wired connection is always going to be more reliable than a wireless but the problem is your wired connection (through the EX2700) is still based off a wireless link. And its a slower link than what the fire stick is capable off.
So I'd remove it. Extenders are great at what they're designed for and thats to extend the wireless in you home further. If you connect to a router fine, adding an extender isn't going to help.
If you continue to have streaming issues with the fire stick, you might investigate a powerline connection, moca (ethernet over coax), or even running ethernet to the first stick.
Also try to make sure the firestick is on 5g when it connects to your router. it has significantly faster throughput for streaming
