Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
Step 1 of 3
Attach HDMI extender and wall power

Step 2 of 3
Check storage and Fire OS updates
Navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > About and verify storage headroom and Fire OS updates.
Verify: Leave at least 1.5 GB free so EPG caches do not thrash flash storage.

Install AgoraStream from Amazon Appstore
Use the Find tab to locate AgoraStream in the official Amazon Appstore and link your account.
Verify: Confirm adaptive stream startup within a few seconds.
Additional Hardware Notes
- If Wi-Fi 6 is congested in multi-unit buildings, consider a compatible OTG Ethernet adapter.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I power the Fire TV Stick from my TV USB port?
- No. Standard TV USB ports supply 500mA, which is below what 4K HEVC hardware decoding and Wi-Fi 6E radios draw under load, causing random reboots or buffering.
