Re: Firestick wont connect to Hub4

You plug it into the Stick's micro USB port, the USB goes to the existing plug for power and the Ethernet cable goes to your hub.

Amazon makes its own Ethernet adapter as well.

Re: Firestick wont connect to Hub4

Thanks for the explanation....if you can appreciate this really is annoying that i have to spend money on something that has a possibility of not working, especially when it worked without this before for nearly 2 years and worked on my daughters tv without it.  

If changes have been made by Virgin to stop the stick from connecting it should be financed by Virgin! 

Thanks

Re: Firestick wont connect to Hub4

For a variety of reasons your device(s) may not get a strong enough WiFi signal (this happened to me with my V6), so you need a wired connection. If you lack a spare LAN port then get some more by using a gigabit switch - look at my sig for an example of such a switch.

Re: Firestick wont connect to Hub4

Good Morning @Micheleboulton, hope you're keeping well.

Do you possibly have any updates for us on the connection to the Firestick?

Have you been able to take time to consider the options provided by @Roger_Gooner?

Kindest regards,

David_Bn

Re: Firestick wont connect to Hub4

Roger

Ive purchased an Amazon ethernet adaptor and have managed to grab 5 mins to fit and its WORKED but ive had to disconnect my CCTV. Would you recommend which switch is best for me, ive had a look and think if i got an 8 port one it will allow any further expansion that may occur.  What do you think of below?  I may be able to hard wire the bird box now too.

I really appreciate your help with this solution 

Thank you!
