Does this work with the Amazon Firestick? My other modem is too slow and the streaming has to buffer too long .. can't handle it.

I'm not familiar with Amazon fire stick, do I would not be able to help you in that area. You should try asking them before making the purchase. But this works very well for my home without having anything else in connection with it, all devices in our home picks up the wifi connection very quick and easily. Hope this helps you.

Yes. I had my Roku stick connected to it without a problem so I wouldn't imagine the firestorm having issues. Be sure to check their map for towers around you.

I think that would be best to ask that question to your Internet provider. Also ask them if it works with your modem as well.

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

Try updating to the latest firmware first. Mine never buffers that I have noticed and I am able to watch netflix in super hd through a blu ray player. I have Cox cable.

You would need to download an app designed to work with Amazon video streaming service. Unlike the Roku which has its own onlinestore for different channels, I'm not too sure how this would work on the Netgear.

Dear friend, thank you for your message. theoretically speaking, as long as your Firestick has HDMI port, this converter will work with it. But we have not done actual test on the Firestick. So we cannot ganrantee 100% that this converter will work with the Firestick. Hope that you can understand this situation. Have a nice day! Best regards, Keedox Customer Service Maria

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

Fire tv has its own remoteYou probably should check with Amazon fire about that

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure this would be worth purchasing if it isn't capable of HD streaming. Does anyone know if this is something that could be resolved with a software update, or would it require Slingbox to release a new "Slingcatcher HD"?

I had to return mine. I did not have the proper (exact) port connection on my 2012 40" flatscreen. I can hook up my computer and dvd player as there are multiple HDMI & USB ports. BUT my TV DID NOT have the exact port for the "Roku Streaming Stick"...it did fit in other ports BUT I did not have the "exact named port" that the streaming stick requires. The Streaming Sick does name the "exact" port and you have to check to see if your television has this specific port OR the streaming stick will not work.

seems to be working now but Comcast had a lot of difficulty adding it to their system. I would try a "ubee" instead since that seems to be the make they are distributing. But I have no technical training and have no idea how it might perform.

It has worked fine for me, steaming Netflix and various video files. I haven't pushed it at very high data rates, though. Jim

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

No. connects well with the box but would not connect to my streaming stick at all.

It will not stream Amazon Prime. I sent it back and got a Sony Blu-Ray Disc DVD player.

The streaming stick works very nicely if you have a TV with the proper port. It has similar functionality to the Roku 3, although the Roku 3 will upscale to 1080 resolution, which the stick will not.

Another option is buying a device like Roku which I hear will give you access to Amazon prime as well. This is larger in size than a dongle but may have better streaming.
