For stable streams and more comfort: If you have a Fire TV Stick, you need this accessory

Amazon has currently reduced the price of several Fire TV Sticks. But the mail order company hasn’t just cut prices on the sticks themselves – some accessories for the TV stick are also available for a lower price. It’s worth taking a look for fans, because the accessories expand the range of functions of the stick or ensure more stable streams and more comfort. We’ll introduce you to the best accessories below.

Not everyone is happy with the stick’s performance. Sometimes the menus get stuck or films and series stutter. This often has less to do with the stick itself than with an inadequate WiFi connection near the TV. This can happen especially in larger apartments or when the stick is shielded by a large TV. A small gadget can help improve the internet connection: the Fire TV Ethernet adapter.

• Compatible with Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick (2nd and 3rd gen), Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV (3rd gen, pendant style) and Fire TV Basic Edition.

• Connect Fire TV Stick to the router via cable.

• Ethernet and power

It allows you to connect the Fire TV Stick to the Internet via a LAN cable. Amazon offers the Ethernet adapter for the Fire TV Stick for 16.99 euros.

Tip: If you have Wi-Fi problems, it often helps to realign the stick using the HDMI extension cable provided. Then you can save yourself the adapter.

A weak Wi-Fi connection is not the only problem that plagues many of you with a Fire TV Stick. Some people may not only stream films and series from Netflix on the stick, but also play pictures and videos that are saved on a hard drive.

• Power supply and connection to end devices possible

Apps like the VLC Player make this possible. But how do you connect the hard drive to the FireTV stick? An adapter that can split the FireTV stick’s micro USB port can help here too. You can currently get one of these from Amazon for just €5.98.

Tip: You don’t need an additional cable to play a video stored on a cloud storage. In the following articles, we’ll tell you how to access the popular online storage with your Fire TV Stick.

A notice: It is unclear whether Ethernet and USB OTG adapters can be used in parallel.

Do you still have a TV without an HDMI connection? Here, too, you don’t have to do without the Fire TV Stick. With the right adapter, you can even connect it to an old tube TV with a Scart connection.

• suitable for 1080p signals

• compatible with HDMI 1.3

In a press release, Amazon recommends the YYANG HDMI to SCART converter. This is currently available from the mail order company for 9.99 euros instead of 19.99 euros.

An upgrade to the standard remote control

The Alexa Voice Remote Control Pro is also worth a look. It offers three practical advantages over the standard remote control included with the stick:

• They can be located via voice command if you have misplaced them on the sofa.
• It has two freely assignable buttons.
• All buttons on the remote control are illuminated in the dark.

• Location function

• illuminated keys

• 2 freely programmable buttons

Amazon is currently only charging €29.99 instead of €39.99 for the Alexa Voice Remote Pro. The remote is compatible with almost all current Fire TV Stick models. You can do a compatibility check on the Amazon website before purchasing.

Luminous remote control cover as an alternative

If you’re just annoyed that the Fire TV Stick remote control doesn’t have a backlight, you can currently get a Pinowu case for the Fire TV remote control for just under 8 euros. These are brightly colored, which makes them easier to find. You can also charge them under a lamp so that they glow in the dark.

• Hand strap

• Glows in the dark

• No slipping out of your hand

With the Pinowu Fire TV Stick remote control case, you can pack your remote control in a colorful silicone case that can glow in the dark. A wrist strap also ensures a secure hold. You can currently get the case for 7.99 euros instead of 16.99 euros.

Another practical gadget is the Mission USB power cable. With this, you can safely operate your Fire TV Stick via the TV’s USB port and therefore no longer need an additional power socket.

• USB cable with additional battery

• Enables safe charging of the Fire TV Stick via the USB port

Amazon actually advises against this, as the Fire TV Stick can sometimes be damaged by fluctuations in the power supply. However, this cable, which is certified by Amazon, has an intermediate battery that compensates for this. It costs just under 25 euros.

• 2 x 20 watt speakers

• Connected via HDMI eArc/Arc

• Can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker

Are you dissatisfied with the sound of your TV? Then the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar can help. At 60 centimeters, it is relatively compact and fits on the shelf with the TV. It contains two 20 watt speakers and can also function as a Bluetooth speaker.
