Does Alexa work with Firestick?
Streaming Stick – The Fire TV Stick is just a hair wider than the previous model, at 3.4 by 1.1 by 0.5 inches (HWD), but otherwise looks identical. It’s a plain black plastic rectangle with an HDMI plug on one end and a micro USB port on one side. As a stick intended to plug into the back of your television, it doesn’t need to look impressive or have any real controls or display.
- The new Alexa Voice Remote included with the Fire TV Stick is the same one found with the Fire TV Stick 4K and the Fire TV Cube,
- It keeps the same simple, flat black plastic wand design of the previous voice remote, but adds three new controls.
- To start with the basic design, the remote is dominated by a round direction pad with a large select button in the middle.
A microphone button and pinhole mic sit above the pad, along with a new power button. Menu and playback controls sit below the navigation pad, with a volume rocker and mute button below them. The power, mute, and volume up/down buttons work with the infrared emitter on the front of the remote to control your TV directly. Once the Fire TV Stick determines the TV you’re using (a mostly automated process you go through during setup that involves pointing the remote at your TV and making sure the volume slider appears on the screen), you can use the remote to turn your TV on and off, adjust the volume, or mute the TV.
Why is my FireStick remote not pairing?
Replace the batteries in your remote. Move your remote closer to your Fire TV device, within 10 feet (3 m). Unplug your Fire TV device from the power cord or adapter then plug it back in. Use the Fire TV app to pair your remote.
How do I use my FireStick without a remote?
You can control your Fire TV Stick by downloading Amazon’s Fire TV app on your phone from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). The Fire TV app offers all the controls provided on a Fire TV Stick remote, including voice control.

Recently, I was traveling, and I was not sure whether my hotel room will have a smart TV or not, so I decided to take my Fire TV stick along.
- Unfortunately, I left my remote at home.
- Since the TV stick connects to the last connected Wi-Fi Network, it did not connect to the Wi-Fi available in the hotel.
- I was unsure what to do, so I hopped onto the Internet to search for possible ways of connecting a Fire TV stick to Wi-Fi without its remote.
Since I already had a remote, I wasn’t really looking to spend money on a universal remote. Nevertheless, you can easily connect your Fire TV stick to Wi-Fi even if you don’t have a compatible remote. I have listed some of the most commonly used methods of connecting a Firestick to Wi-Fi without a remote in this article to help you save time and effort.

I refuse to buy anything with Alexa capabilities. Its too bad they discontinued the non-Alexa version.
I will not purchase this. Even if you have the setting turned off, the feature is there and can be hacked. So, thanks, but no thank you. · 14 de octubre de 2022 A 1 de 1 les pareció útil. ¿Y a ti? | There isn’t one; they all have Alexa support now, but as noted in past answers, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to, and you can disable voice purchasing altogether.
Unlike the Echo series, you have to press and hold a button to activate the microphone on the remote; it doesn’t listen continuously. Note that even the original Fire TV Stick without the voice remote is actually voice capable, either via the mobile app or by purchasing the voice remote separately. If you really want a voice-free setup, the original remote is available for sale separately; search for B00LORGAG6 on Amazon for that part.
