BT Broadband

cedmen — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 14:36:04 GMT

Just installed BT hub for elderly relative (property in 'black spot' therefore TV aerial no good).

She cannot really afford another £20 or so for TV package so purchased Firestick.

Also has TV in bedroom and wants that 'connected'. Therefore I think I will need to purchase

another Firestick, but what else do I need to do/purchase.

Does the bedroom TV need another connection other than 'power'. Eg extender or am I good to go

with just power and firestick. Thanks

the firesticks should connect back to the BT router using WIFI you will just need setup wifi on firestick

Best bet would be to move the existing Firestick to the bedroom TV temporarily to test WiFi signal before buying another.

Sorry to be a bit dense about this but are you saying that apart from the Firestick, the only connection to the bedroom tv will be the power connection. So after setting up Firestick to wifi then i am good to go ?
