I realised that the videos I had watched in youtube of guys installing a wired connection for fire sticks, were of those who had, at that point, a wi-fi set up for the tv, which I don't at present. Do you agree? Baldrick was correct in thinking that I was assuming that the router can only serve all wired connections, or all wireless. I would first of all change the tv setting to engage the wireless LAN, which is set to 'off' at present.

But also thought it best to initially then install the fire stick in a wireless set-up. I guess I should invest in a dongle to change that, as they only seem to cost about a tenner.Р”Р„fter retiring last night (or rather at about 2 a.m.) I came to the conclusion that I should go through the installation process for the router again, but this time take the wi-fi option.

When installing the router I didn't engage wi-fi, as my pc is not wi-fi enabled. But judging from your response, and Baldrick's, it seems as if the solution is a simple one, if a little time-consuming. And you lost me I'm afraid, with all those technical terms. I don't know if that makes it a 'one' or not.

The router is a 2704N if that answers your question. I should use this site more often than I do.

I am pleasantly surprised at how helpful and responsive people are being over this issue.

Can anyone advise me? Thanking you in advance. I aslo have problems with some of all4 material though the pc due to 'ad blocking', despite whitelisting the channel. This whole business is particularly annoying as the normal/terrestrial tv signal is unreliable (I can lose every channel once a week on average) due to the effect of weather on the transmitter. So my main question is: why does Plusnet not show as an available network? And do I have to go through the set-up routine for the router, this time taking the wi-fi option (which will make my pc temporarily unusable) having changed the option on the tv to ' wi-fi on', before it is possible to change it to a wired connection? I say this because all the advice on youtube about installing a wired connection with a fire stick seems to be from those who already have a wi-fi connection.Р”Р„lthough one solution may be to simply convert my pc to wi-fi, I am reluctant to do that.

Let me just say at this point that I had the tv settings showing that wi-fi enabled was 'off' (i.e., set the built-in wireless wi-fi to 'off'.) I tried the 'other networks' options, by entering Plusnet (+the code as provided in the Reference card from Plusnet) though the on-screen keyboard (through the fire stick) does not provide a hyphen (and the card includes this between the name of the network and the code that follows.) This stumbling block proved insurmountable. initially, but I hit a problem when I came to indicating the Network I was with, as Plusnet did not come up as an opti on. On finding that 'all4' was not available as one of the pre-installed options (although the description given by Argos strongly suggests that it is: a Q & A with them had them admit that it was 'potentially misleading') I then had to invest in a Fire Stick (I do not have a smart phone so could not, and don't want to use 'mirroring'.) I just bought a Sony Bravia Smart tv ( KDРµвЂ¦С“2WD75 model) and have a wired connection ((a) because my pc is not wi-fi enabled, and (b) because the general opinion online (spec youtube) is that it is the best way to go.
