Hello,
The panasonic TV lists all routers in my area and my Amazon Fire stick but would not let me conncect using a password through the TV., Why they show me The Amazon buit you cannot connect is a mystery. I finally just connected the TV using the WPS first and once the TV is connected I couild then connect the Amazon Firestick using the Amazon remote. Hopefully this might help someone else.
Hi bobm202,
1. For connecting the TV, you can check page 41 of the user manual linked below.

2. Since you already have wireless devices that are able to detect and connect to your WiFi, the TV should be able to do the same by connecting to the WiFi name and using your WiFi password if you have it secured.
3. As for the Amazon Fire TV stick, you may refer to the link below for the steps on how to connect it to the WiFi.

4. Please make sure that the TV along with the Amazon Fire TV stick are both close enough to detect the WiFi signal from the router.
