★☆☆☆☆
Completely useless - "Home Unavailable"
Signal Strength "Very Good" - Network Connection "Good" - "Home Unavailable"
Have old Fire tablet with HDMI port to plug into TV, and an older Fire Stick and this new Fire Stick. Can plug them all in and then close one and switch to the other. Same router, Wi Fi, same everything. Tablet with HDMI works pretty good ( is this why Amazon no longer has HDMI port on tablets? ). Older Fire Stick does good job of showing the little circle in middle of picture, sometimes movie comes on for a few minutes but then circle comes back. This new Fire stick doesn't work at all, won't even show the little circle. Everything is always simply "Unavailable". Cussing out Alexa doesn't help. Signal strength - Very Good - so don't need the hard wire WiFi connection. Tablet doesn't need hard wire WiFi to work.
Same Wi Fi, same everything
Tablet with HDMI - WORKS
Fire Sticks - DO NOT WORK!!
