Great System
59 of 77 found this helpful I didn't really know what to expect so when I got the Firestick it was really easy to use. The original software is still there so you can use it with your Amazon Account too. Simply follow the instructions normally to install it on your TV. I found that the included power adapter isn't really necessary as long as you have a powered USB Port on your TV to plug it in to. Seller includes an easy to read instruction sheet for accessing Kodi. Definitely change/update your information on the Firestick- seller has to other their info to get the Firestick updated. I did notice that if you are using the 2.4GHZ wireless on your Wireless Network it does affect the speed especially if you have COMCAST/XFinity-, or other Cable provider as they are throttling the 2.4GHZ bandwidth to 25Gbps. They are doing that to pretty much force people to upgrade or update their devices to the 5GHZ bandwidth. If you don't know for sure run a SpeedTest and find out what your download speed is- upload is not at Full Duplex so it will be slower on both bands. Recommend if you have the 5GHZ band to use that band so you can use the Firestick at the optimal speed. Yes, the Firestick has 5GHZ band! Love the Firestick. The only negative is the Kodi software- more so the providers. I would love to see providers list what language a movie is in and what subtext it uses. So many choices you will need to find out which ones provide what you are looking for. Of course you can always use Amazon for free with Prime- pay the rental fees, or purchase the movie.
