Check For These Before Connecting your Amazon Fire TV

The first and foremost thing is to check if you have an active and fast internet connection. You wouldn’t want to see a buffering screen when you plug in your Amazon Fire Stick device to your TV. On-Demand platforms like HBO Max require a fast internet connection for seamless streaming, and to check if you have a fast connection, you can head to “Google” and look for the “Speed Test” using the search bar. Run the test, and in the results, you can find you have sufficient speed for streaming your favorite movies or shows.

The second most important thing would be to have an Amazon Fire Stick account. You sign up using your computer or use your mobile to create your account.
