An easy solution to wifi issues if you have a spare ethernet port.
That was in early August. A month later the Firestick said it could not find any signal and the Network setting showed it was not connected to the internet. I swapped back to using WiFi and it worked (slowly). I changed the CAT-5E cable, I checked to see if other units running of the WD Livewire system were working (they were) ... so I had to conclude that the ethernet adaptor had broken after only a month. I ordered a second ethernet adaptor and it has just arrived. I plugged it in, switched off the WiFi signal, and the wired network started working straight away. So it was a duff adaptor. This is a great bit of kit, and really good value for someone in my position, but it needs to be able to last longer than a month. I just have every finger crossed that my first adaptor was a one-off bad unit, and this second one will last a year or two, at least.
