I am trying to install FIRETV Stick on a new TV.

When I reboot the device it starts to load play some music but the shuts down saying on screen: there is something wrong with the network. I made sure my TV is connected to my WIFI.

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Restarting your Wi-Fi router can help resolve network issues. Power off your router, wait for a few seconds and then power it back on. Give it a moment to establish a connection and then check if your Fire TV Stick can connect to the network.

Have you restarted your router?

Yes. However, "Home is currently unavailable" is on the screen.

OK It will take a few minutes.
The TV was not connected to the network when I did what you requested. So I reconnected it to the WiFi. Then I rebooted the Fire device got the initial music and then the same message : Home is curently unavailable.

*****, please try the following:

Press the Play/Pause button and the Select button on your remote at the same time.
Hold both buttons simultaneously for several seconds and then release them.
This will restart your FireStick.

Nothing happened.

Is the Firestick on at the moment?

Customer Replay

No. The same message repeated. I do hear a click when the two buttons on the control are pressed.
I tried the buttons again and the WiFi password came up on the screen. I put in the password and the Fire device now says it is connected at 5 ghz signal strength good quality fair.
