Does anyone know how to move a Firestick to a new house? I was assuming I could just unplug my Firestick and connect it to my new location and just reconnect to my new internet. Thanks for any insight.
yes thats all you do
I’ve moved to different houses but I was giving the sticks away so I did a factory reset, yes, not helpful.
To just plug and play it would need to be the same router, same SIDD, same Wi-Fi Password then it should actually work fine. But if not it will fail to connect to the network but you can still get into setting and setup the new network.
Thanks, that’s what I was hoping.
It does not always work that way @Tad331, depending on if the TV is a different brand and perhaps other hardware situations like soundbars, etc. I know I had a dickens of a time moving one from my house to my daughters. Her TV setup was different from mine where I had the firestick setup originally and it was running splendidly. I finally got it sorted for her, but it was anything BUT plug and play for sure. Hope all goes well for you though for sure - good luck!
Just plug it in your new location and hook up to the Internet. Everything should work fine. I take mine travelling all the time. Takes seconds to get going.
Shouldn’t be an issue. Connect to the new internet/password and, if necessary, re-do the TV/equipment control settings.
Thanks and I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I forgot to mention but thought about it as I read through the other comments, particularly about the television.
If it is different you may have setup the remote buttons again.
I didn’t move but last night I set up a new Internet provider, all kinds of crap happened I didn’t expect, mostly my fault but all is good this morning. My only point is, there’s always something.
Just plug it in. We take ours with us when we travel.
Pretty much but you will need to put WiFi address and if a different tv you will need to marry remote. All done through settings
Go on Youtube, search for Robert DeVito
Click on the green circle with my name on it. I have about 4 videos. One is how to relocate your firestick
It’s as simple as that. Each time we go to holiday home, that’s all we do. No worries.
Yup, should be no issues. We moved to a different country. New TVs etc. Did bring my router which of course made it super easy. Just had to update the settings for the different TV if you want to control it with the FS remote.
Well, that can be a problem.
You must enter the email address and password since you have a new internet box make sure to check the network list on the Firestick click it and enter your password for your new network box
I think you ment this for someone else.
