Connecting to Firestick

Connecting to Firestick

I bought the range extender to improve signal to my Firestick. The Firestick is currently connected to my router.  I have connected the Extender to the router and plugged in adjacent to the Firestick.  When I go in settings for the Firestick it shows that it is connected to the router (marginal signal).  The same WiFi number appears in the list of available networks followed by '-Ext' which shows as very good signal.  I have clicked on that and entered my router's password but it won't connect to the Firestick.  Any suggestions ?

Model: EX2700|N300 WiFi Range Extender

Hi @aero63,

                    Did you tried connecting any other devices to check if you come across the same issue? Hope you are typing the correct password since password is case sensitive. If that is the case, try to set it up again and see if that helps.

Yes.  Have connected Kindle to it with no issues.  Have tried several times to connect Firestick using the correctly typed password but it won't connect

Hi @aero63,

                    Check if it connects fine with router to see if its not an issue with firestick. If it works fine with router, check for firmware upgrade on extender if any and modify wireless channel on the router to see if that helps.

If you have trouble or don't see your desired network, scroll down and select Join Other Network  or Rescan. After connecting to wireless network, press the Home button to display Home Screen.
