Fire TV Stick gen1 and 802.11ac woes - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if it's caused by the latest firmware update but my 1st gen Fire TV Stick can't see/connect to the 802.11ac WiFi network if I set the channel to auto on my router (Archer C7v2). My other devices (mix of Android & Macs) can see/connect to that 802.11ac WiFi network just fine, however Fire TV Stick can only see/connect to it if I change the channel from auto to *any* one channel.
Anyone else had these ac-related issues with Fire TV Stick?

MIMO on Kindle Fire HD

Has anyone managed to get dual band MIMO working on the Kindle Fire HD?
I've got a dual band Netgear WNDR3700 Router, and can connect to both channels separately. However, I can't see an option in the Kindle Fire's wifi setting, that allows one to enable MIMO and connect to both channels. Is a specific key security required for MIMO? I have WPA-PSK enabled on both channels, but am at a loss to see how to utilise them in tandem on the Fire HD.

I successfully rooted the kindle fire 1st gen and loaded android jelly bean using:

and

however, my kindle connects to my router only at 802.11 G speeds (54 Mbps).
if I set my router to N only, then the kindle doesn't connect.
quick search shows that the device is N compatible.
am i missing something, or can someone tell me if this is a known issue (search doesn't give any answers).
thanks.

Hi,
There are many WiFi around my fire TV, and sometimes new WiFi will appear. Some of them don't need password and stronger.

Fire stick Wifi problem

Hiya folks, I have a wifi connection issue with Fire Stick.
My router is TP-Link WR841N
My TV is a Samsung LE40C650LKXXU
The Fire Stick won't connect because it won't recognise the Gateway.
Any ideas, you good people?
Thank you
Cath
Use DHCP instead of a static IP.
Try a different wifi channel

Fire tv box can it extend wifi

So my fire TV is hardwired to the net,but still has WiFi access ,can this be adapted to act as a WiFi extender
