To resolve internet connectivity issues on your Fire TV device, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Restart Your Device
Unplug the Fire TV device from the power outlet, wait for a minute, and then plug it back in.
2. Check Network Status
Verify the network status on your Fire TV device to ensure it is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network and has a strong signal.
3. Troubleshoot VPN Connection
If you use a VPN, temporarily disable it to check if it is causing connectivity problems.
