      Hello VictorIF! Thank you so much for your valued feedback and time as we are always working to improve upon the customer experience based on feedback like this. The Fire Stick is set to automatically select what is the best available frequency based on distance from your router and amount of devices currently using the 5Ghz frequency in your home. One way to try to fix this is to restart your router. This typically reprioritizes the devices on your network and may help in getting your Fire Stick to pick it up. I presume that by 5G that is what you meant. You can also always reach out to Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting as well. I do hope this helps resolve your problem and that you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

      Hello Grizz57! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with our Fire Stick 4K! I am glad you got a nice deal on this device! I am so sorry for the misunderstanding of exactly what live programming is available for each area. One thing that you can do to access your live local programming is via a live service subscription through services and apps such as Hulu Live, YouTube TV, or Sling TV. While those services do require subscriptions, they do give the full experience of streaming a cable service provider. In addition to this, you can access a wide plethora of free live programming through apps like PlutoTV and there are even select markets with free Live Local news and weather available via the News app. These are all just the tip of the iceberg of what one can do with a Fire Stick as well! There are thousands of movies and shows available with an immense amount of them all being free. Also, if you do have a cable service provider, we have access to apps like DirecTV Stream and Xfinity that you can use. There are games available for download and via our Luna cloud based gaming service. And with Alexa fully integrated into this, you can use your voice and remote to control your smart home services through brands like Ring or Blink amongst many others. I hope this gives you a small taste of the many ways you can utilize the terrific priced value you got on your Fire Stick and that you have an improved experience the more you dive into your options. Thanks again for your feedback and I hope you have an amazing day! AmazonDevices

      Hi RussellCoburn, thank you for providing feedback on the Fire TV Stick 4K. I am sorry to see you've had issues with the device freezing up from time to time. This could be due to several reasons including network issues, overloaded apps, outdated software, or even a faulty HDMI cable; try restarting your Fire Stick, checking your Wi-Fi connection, clearing app caches, updating your Fire Stick software, and ensuring your HDMI cable is properly connected. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again and have a wonderful day! AmazonDevices

      Hi JamesF, thank you for providing feedback about Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I am sorry to see that the device has stopped working properly. Based on the issue stemming from an app update, I would recommend trying the following steps, in order, until the issue is resolved:
      1.

      Unplug the Fire Stick from the power source for a few seconds, then plug it back in.

      You can also restart from the Fire TV settings: Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Restart.

      2.

      Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates.
      If an update is available, install it.

      3.

      Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
      Select the problematic app, and then choose "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data".

      4.

      Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
      Select the app, then choose "Uninstall".
      Find the app in the Amazon Appstore and reinstall it.
      If you have tried all steps and are still having issues please contact Amazon Devices Customer Support directly at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again, have a great day! AmazonDevices
