I am a senior citizen and find using the fire stick a bit difficult. So my rating is probably not fair. After using only cable services for my TV viewing , I find the stick not as enjoyable. My TVs do not respond as efficiently as with cable.

Hi GuadalupeT, Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Even with built-in TV apps, a Fire Stick 4K Max can add to your TV experience by adding a faster processor (Wi-Fi 6E for smoother streaming), broader app access (including niche apps, games like Amazon Luna), better Alexa voice control for smart home integration (doorbells, lights, volume), personalized content discovery, and screen mirroring. I hope this information is helpful.

I’m very disappointed with the Cashier who was also responsible for opening the locked compartment of certain devices (avoiding theft). I showed her exactly what I wanted to buy & didn’t realize it until I got home that she sold me a Firestick that did not have the button for Hulu!

Have had similar prime devices in the past which work well. This one was in a room next door to the router and the long range WiFi repeatedly lost connection.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing repeated Wi-Fi disconnection issues with your Fire TV Stick 4K Max, especially when it's located so close to the router. Let me walk you through some targeted steps to address this connectivity issue.
1. Check for Wi-Fi Interference Even being in the next room, walls and other electronic devices can cause interference. Try the following:
Make sure your Fire TV Stick 4K Max is connected to the 5GHz band of your router (rather than 2.4GHz), as it offers faster speeds and less congestion — especially important for 4K streaming. Alternatively, if walls are causing signal degradation, try switching to the 2.4GHz band, which has better range and wall penetration, even if slightly slower.
2. Use the HDMI Extender Cable The Fire TV Stick 4K Max comes with an HDMI extender cable in the box. Using it moves the device away from the back of the TV, which can significantly reduce interference from the TV itself and improve Wi-Fi reception.
3. Restart Your Router and Fire TV Stick
Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Then go to Settings > My Fire TV > Restart on your Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
4. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi
Go to Settings > Network Select your Wi-Fi network and choose Forget This Network Reconnect by selecting your network again and entering your password
5. Check Router Settings
Make sure your router's firmware is up to date. If your router supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Wi-Fi 6 compatible and should take full advantage of it — ensure Wi-Fi 6 is enabled on your router. Check if your router has any band steering or device prioritization settings that may be causing the Fire TV Stick to drop connection.
6. Check for Software Updates Outdated firmware on the Fire TV Stick can sometimes cause connectivity instability:
Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates
7. Factory Reset (Last Resort) If all else fails, a factory reset can resolve persistent connectivity issues:
Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Reset to Factory Defaults
If these steps do not resolve the repeated Wi-Fi disconnections, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 and can provide further assistance.
Thank you for your feedback, and I hope we can get your Fire TV Stick 4K Max connecting reliably. Have a great day!

I like to turn on my Firestick and have background noise , it seems to turn off Firestick and tv every 90 min , both Firesticks I ordered do the same thing

It did not work when I received it. When connect to the tv, the device never open so that I could do anything. The device would not even pass the welcome screen.

Hello, CDubbsW0rld. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you are having with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. If you are having audio sync issues I recommend going into the settings on your Fire TV Stick and adjusting the setting. You can do this by 1. Go into settings on your Fire TV Stick. 2. Select Display and Sounds. 3. Select Audio and then select AV Sync Tuning. I hope these recommendations are helpful to you but if you need further assistance, I recommend contacting Amazon customer support at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this helps, have a great day!
