Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (Newest gen), supports Wi-Fi 6E, Ambient Experience

No subscription required and brings the TV to new life! Quality video & audio and fast boot up after being powered. The only downside is it requires another socket instead of being powered from USB of the TV but I have seen products on Amazon that convert the power to be sufficient from TV USB too so might give them a try later.

Great product, portable, easy to install. Much much faster that the previous model firestick I had = no more buffering! Voice control works well 99% of the time. Overall good quality product at a reasonable price, especially if purchased on Prime sales!

Revitalised our TV-watching experience 😊 It’s easy and quick to do stuff that seemed to take forever with our old Roku Express! You can control the TV (on & off) and separate soundbar with just the Firestick remote. Also, the enhanced Alexa button is excellent, controlling all the smart gadgets from seemingly anywhere in the house with a press of a button and a spoken command😲 By far the best streaming device we’ve used, Five Stars!

I wanted to update my older fire-stick, we currently only have one in the home.This fire stick threw me a little, I am ok techy wise on some things, but as you know, one minute it is new, next old stock.This Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device supports Wi-Fi 6E, Ambient Experience and 16gb instead of my older 8gb stick.I ordered the fire stick around Black Friday so the cost was cheaper, I wouldn’t pay nearly £70 for one.When the fire stick arrived it was all boxed so precise, really nice, everything in place.Once everything was out of the box I put the new fire stick in my tv port and plugged the device in. Now some people have mentioned the fire stick, should be plugged into the main socket in their reviews. I have my tv quite away from the mains, so I have an adapter and plugged it in to it. Started up well. You will need your mobile if you prefer to set up via QR code. With the plug ( yes it comes as standard) it isnt that long, in the box is an extension, I’ve not used it, but kept hold of it just in case. The extension is super small.So everything was going great, however there is always a BUT… basically nearly finished the set up and what is different between my old fire stick and this new one, you have no choice but to add Alexa or cube speakers to the fire stick. Meaning this.. I was downloading things I liked to watch, ie Netflix etc, then I could hear voices coming from Alexa🤔 my remote also would not work to increase or decrease the volume, I could see the picture, but no volume in the bedroom, only Alexa playing the film through Alexa speakers.I had to remove this and googled how to do it, what Google was telling me to do, I couldn’t unpair it. So back to the drawing board, I reset the fire stick back to factory settings, I thought that would remove it. How wrong was I, it just didn’t work.So I went back on Alexa settings again and looked around, and yes it could be done.If this happens to you, please follow these instructions, if you don’t want it.1. Open the Alexa app2. Open more, and select settings3. Select TV & video service provider ie fire-stick4. Select unpair.Everything worked after that. I tried to set it up differently the second time, I wanted the fire stick to remove all the old stock I had on my previous fire stick, all the movies etc, but it doesn’t, possibly because Amazon has everything on me. worth a try though, so back to manually deleting movies.So next to the wifi. Part of the information states you need to have fast wifi and not slow. So the 4K, wifi 6E ambient experience will work correctly. I have no idea what wifi mine was as in the level. What on earth is wifi 6, I just have wifi🤔I just in touch with my broadband and asked them, they came back and said I was on wifi 5. if you like me haven’t a scoobie about this, just ask your provider. Most are on wifi 5…I heard that if you haven’t the correct strength of wifi there will be stuttering going on when watching movies or tv shows on demand. Mine is fine.Whatever TV you have the picture is scaled up to the most it can do. I have a five year old Hisense in my bedroom, so new movies out do add a much better visual experience, whereas on demand tv is virtually the same. A brand new or newer tv will I dare say offer a better experience.This new fire stick does offer a lot more space, 16gb as opposed to 8Gb.The remote is a little different, the volume up and down buttons are now on the left side, so that’s something to get used to.At the bottom left hand side is prime video, underneath it apps, right side Netflix, below that Amazon music. The rest of the remote comes as standard. For once Amazon has included a couple of Amazon basic batteries.* For those people who are not sure if your TV is compatible, the fire stick should fit fine, any make or model, that has the ports. Do not be concerned that you haven’t the wifi 6E, not many people have yet, works fine. My broadband is with Cuckoo which uses Open Reach. I haven’t witnessed so far any stuttering, spin wheels.* As I mentioned my TV is 4K etc and five years old, one thing having an older tv, you will/may not get the full ambiance of colours, the tv does scale the tv up as far as it can go.* if you have never used or owed a fire stick before, it is a good investment for excellent tv viewing. There are a lot of free channels. You can also read the reviews before completing the download. Usually if you want to say download a movie channel, before you click download, it will state if it’s free or not. Some are subscription based. Just click on the ones you want to download, put in your QR code or via your mobile the code. If anything is payable, Amazon will take the money. All the usual channels are on there.To finish my review, I wanted to buy another fire stick, so my husband can have the 8Gb, I just really wanted it for some more GB. If the price was £70 odd I wouldn’t pay it. If in the sale then yes. I don’t feel there is much difference to the fire stick I have had for five years. However if you do have a new tv, you may notice considerably the great picture quality. The sound is a lot better. I have had no issues with no sound like some ( I think that’s happened as I said earlier in regards to adding the fire stick with Alexa automatically) I feel speaker side of things should be optional and not by default… it’s time consuming taking it off.When ordering this fire stick be mindful this isn’t on next day delivery, usually takes just over a week. Ordering now takes the delivery into January 2024⭐️Thank you to the seller⭐️I hope my review helps you.

After resetting our 3 year old Fire Stick 1st gen, we set the 2nd gen Fire Stick to use. It's best to sync your content to our Amazon account & on setting it up. It's straight forward to use, the option of QR codes makes the apps easier to set up & use these as much as you can.WiFi was via password but once up & running, it took around 30 mm minutes to update, install to log in & use the stick... As an upgrade trafe-in, it's good value with offers going about. As we've been using on since 2019, it's been a reliable streaming source & film format since with no issues to quibble about. The picture quality is very good too.

I found the **Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen, 2023)** to be fast, responsive, and packed with features. Wi-Fi 6E support gives super smooth streaming with no buffering, even on busy networks. The upgraded processor makes navigating apps seamless, and 16GB of storage means plenty of space for everything. Love the Ambient Experience—it turns my TV into a smart display. A fantastic upgrade for any streaming setup!
