However, there is a trick that you can use to use it without WiFi and we will tell you how to do it.

The fact that you have to always be connected to the Internet to use it is a handicap , but with this trick that we are going to tell you, you will only need your mobile to be able to connect and use it 100%.

The trick to use the Amazon Fire TV Stick without WiFi

Create a WiFi connection from the mobile

To be able to use your Amazon Fire TV Stick without having WiFi, what we will have to do is, precisely, create an access point with our mobile . In this way, what we will be doing is sharing our data with this device, so it is really convenient to use this trick if we have enough gigabytes, since the Fire Stick TV could consume too much if we abuse it. There are two different ways to go about this process, depending on whether you have an Android or iOS device.

on Android

Before starting, it should be noted that not all Android phones are the same , so we are going to try to give you some steps that you can use regardless of what your device is. The first thing we will have to do is go to Settings and look for the Network and Internet tab. The manufacturer of your terminal may give it another name such as Connections, so you will have to look for the section where WiFi and Bluetooth are referred to.

Once inside this section, you will have to look for a tab that indicates Internet Sharing and Modem, although depending on your manufacturer, Internet Sharing, Internet Sharing or similar may also appear. In this new section we will have to look for the Shared connection or WiFi access point option to be able to activate it, thus creating a WiFi connection. It should be noted that in this section both the name that we must look for and the password that will have to be entered to access this network will appear on the screen.

on iOS

If you have an Apple device, you can also easily create a WiFi hotspot to use with your Amazon Fire TV Stick. In fact, the process to do it on the devices of the Californian brand is much simpler, since in fact the option is very clearly contemplated .

To do this, we will have to go to Settings, and press one of the first options that we will find that indicates Personal access point. Once inside this section, we will activate the option to Allow others to connect and on that screen we will also see what will be the name of the network that we must search for and the password.

Set up your Fire Stick TV

Once we have our mobile device as a WiFi access point, all we have to do is configure our Fire TV Stick to be able to use it. A trick you can use if you don’t want to have to do this step is to call the network created with your device exactly the same as the one you have at home , and use the same password. That way, the Fire Stick TV is already set up without you having to do anything. The only downside to this method is that you can only use it with an Android device.

If you have an iPhone or do not want to use this method at all, you will only have to configure your Amazon device to use this network. To do this, go to the Settings tab, and once inside click on the Network section . At this point you will have to search for the name of the network you have created and enter, of course, the password. Once this is done, you can use your Fire Stick TV normally.

You can use these apps offline

As we have told you before, one of the negative points of the Fire Stick TV is that we can only use it connected to the Internet, regardless of whether we want to use applications that are installed on it. The trick that we have brought you today will help you to be able to use any application without problems, but there are some applications that you can use even without a connection .

If you turn on your device offline, you will get an error message, but on the right side of the screen you will see a gear. If you press it, a menu will appear and in this you must go to Applications and Manage installed applications . Once inside, you can click on the one you want to open and within it you must click Open application. This is great for apps that don’t need a connection, like VLC or some games.
