Most people use their mobile phones as hotspots, providing internet access to laptops, tablets, and other devices when they’re on the go. But you can also use your phone as a personal hotspot to connect your Amazon Fire TV Stick. Here’s how to connect your Fire TV Stick to your mobile hotspot.
To get started, you’ll need to enable the personal hotspot feature on your phone. On an iPhone, this is done in the Settings app under Cellular > Personal Hotspot. On Android, the process will vary depending on your specific handset and version of Android, but you can usually find the option in Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & Tethering.
Once you’ve enabled the personal hotspot feature, you should see your phone listed as a Wi-Fi network in the Fire TV Stick’s settings. Select it and enter the password for your hotspot when prompted. After a moment, your Fire TV Stick should be connected to the internet and you’ll be able to stream your favorite shows and movies.
If you have any trouble connecting your Fire TV Stick to your mobile hotspot, you may need to adjust your phone’s settings. On an iPhone, you can try turning off the Personal Hotspot feature and then restarting your phone before turning it back on. On Android, you may need to change the security settings for your hotspot to “None” or “Open”.
Once you’ve successfully connected your Fire TV Stick to your mobile hotspot, you can enjoy all your favorite streaming content without worry about using up your data allowance. Just be sure to disconnect from your hotspot when you’re finished streaming to avoid eating up too much of your data plan.
