    This is an updated review of this product. I have had this for three months and it worked great with no lagging. Suddenly, it is unable to update and shows an error message. There should be no problem with a product that had minimal usage.

      Hi hump, I am very sorry to see the experience you are having with your Alexa Voice Remote and Fire TV Stick. Here are some troubleshooting tips that may steer you in the right direction.

      Try using your remote between each step.

      Replace the batteries in your remote. For best performance, alkaline batteries are recommended.
      Move your remote closer to your Fire TV device, within 10 feet (3 m).
      Restart your Fire TV by unplugging the device or going to Settings. Once you're on the home screen, press and hold the Home button on your remote for 10 seconds.
      If you have seven controllers paired, remove one of them before attempting to pair another.
      Use the Fire TV app to pair your remote. Download the Fire TV app on your mobile device and follow the steps in Use the Fire TV App to Pair Your Remote.

      If you're still having issues, Reset Your Fire TV Remote and then try pairing it again. I hope this is helpful. We appreciate your feedback. Have a great day! AmazonDevices

    Outstanding

    Flawless performance from both the Fire Stick and the remote. Straightforward to add apps and to use (elderly parents have had no trouble accessing everything they want), and no problems of any kind so far. We were a little worried by some of the reviews about glitchy streaming and awful battery life with the remote, but we haven't had any issues. Our experience so far (about a month) has been outstanding.

      Thank you for your feedback on the Fire TV Stick 3rd Gen. I’m sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing. If resetting the Fire TV Stick is not working, and you are still experiencing issues, try these troubleshooting steps: 1. Restart your Fire TV device. Use the power cord or adapter included with your device to plug the Fire TV device. This ensures Fire TV has access to enough power. 2. Let the device sit for 25 min (turned on) or until the screen changes. 3. If possible, try with and without an HDMI adapter or extender. 4. Make sure that you're using a high-speed HDMI cable. 5. Try using a different HDMI port. 6. For HDMI hubs, try plugging the Fire TV device directly into the TV. 7. Confirm that your TV is HDCP-compliant. Review the video-cable section of the TV owner's manual. 8. If possible try using a different TV. You can factory reset the Fire TV Stick if you haven't already done so. If these steps don’t fix the issue you are having, you can reach Amazon Customer service 24/7 for assistance. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a great day!

      Hello AnnetteaD! I am so sorry you are having difficulty getting your Fire Stick to work. While we do try to make the Quick Start guide and instructions on screen able to assist as best as we can, it sometimes could be an unseen issue out of your control that may be the problem. I would definitely love the opportunity to see if we can help you resolve whatever that may be so you can begin enjoying your Fire Stick. I would recommend calling 888.280.4331 to speak with Amazon Customer Support to have them troubleshoot the setup with you. If they can't fix the issue, then they can help in seeing what options you have available. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback and I hope you have a fantastic day!
