Connecting an Amazon FireStick to the T-Mobil Home Wifi Internet router
Connecting an Amazon FireStick to the T-Mobil Home Wifi Internet router? Can it be done. I purchased the new T-Mobil home wifi internet, and tried connecting it, but it didn't allow me. It would no...
I haven't had any problem connecting two Firesticks to my T mobile router. I have connected them both directly to the router and also to my Eero mesh router which I have hard wired to the T mobile router.
You can replace the micro-USB cable with an adapter with Ethernet built-in. All you really need is the Ethernet Adapter for Fire TV Stick Chromecast Ultra/2/1/Audio Google Home Mini. You can get one from Amazon for ~$14.00 which should do the job. Using an Ethernet cable to make the connection takes the wireless out of the equation so you need an Ethernet cable long enough to reach a T-Mobile gateway or an Ethernet switch connected to the gateway in order to do it. In reality it is much simpler to use a wired Ethernet connection as the negotiation with authentication is taken out of the equation.
If you can still get a place on the tower and get another gateway then you should be in business. In some places, like where I live, once the tower connections are used there is a queue for getting access. Pulling the plug in frustration might have been a mistake.
