- Every Amazon Fire TV Stick comes with an adapter. This is an HDMI extension.
- It is primarily intended to connect the stick to the TV if the stick is too wide for the port.
- Alternatively, it can also help with two other problems.
Every Fire TV Stick from Amazon comes with not only a remote control, batteries, a USB cable and power supply, but also an adapter. This is an HDMI extension.
The adapter is primarily intended to make the Fire TV Stick compatible with any television. If the Fire TV Stick doesn’t fit on the television due to the position of the HDMI ports or if it covers other ports, the extension can help. But it can also help with two other problems.
HDMI extension can improve Wi-Fi reception
Amazon advises in its Quick Start Guide for Fire TV Stick 4K The HDMI extension can also be used if the stick is struggling with WiFi problems or the connection between the stick and the remote control is often lost. The reason for this can be that the TV is shielding the stick’s antennas too much. The extension allows the stick to be positioned more flexibly and thus possibly improves reception.
If the HDMI extension doesn’t help in these cases, you can connect the Fire TV Stick to the Internet using an Ethernet cable instead. Instead of the remote control, you can also control your stick in other ways – for example, using the Fire TV app on your phone.
