Hello there,
I have a mikrotik router at home that i’ve been using for a while, everything was working fine until last week, all of a sudden my firesticks cannot detect internet connection, all the other devices can access to internet but my firesticks, I just can’t figure out what it could be.
Any of you have had this same issue?
All other devices work + Firestik not work = Firestik problem…
I have Firestik and is working (on Italy).
What happens last week?
You ask your ISP?
Reload old backup…
I was actually working with some configurations on the mikrotik and then firesticks stopped working, i thought i did something wrong while configuring so i reset the configuration and started from scratch, it didnt work. If i connect directly to my ISP’s router the firesticks (2) will work but not if behind the mikrotik
Hello,
Firestick connect by Wi-Fi right ? If yes, check what type of wi-fi are you running, older device or smaller one don’t like 5 ghz and they will not connect. Try to set up only 2,4 Ghz Wi-Fi and see if there is some difference.
P.S. Sometimes i had problem with both enabled 5/2,4 Ghz , try using only the 2,4 Ghz while the 5 Ghz is off/disabled
I guess you forget to mention that little, tiny fact. In first post you said “all of a sudden” like “I was surprised because I did not even touch anything”.
Sometimes wifi stations cache connection failures and refuse even to try to reconnect to AP with MAC remembered as “problematic”.

This is exactly what happened:
I have 2 mikrotik routers @home, a CSR and a tiny HAP.
I connect the CSR to my ISP’s router and then everything to the CSR.
3 APs
1 Web server
1 NAS
1 HAP (Mikrotik)
I configured the HAP as AP and everything was working fine. All of a sudden TV’s didn’t work, connecting 1 firestick to that HAP did not work, so in my other firestick I connected to another of my AP’s (that were working fine) and it didn´t work either. I switched the AP’s and same thing, I reset the configuration on the HAP and configured it again, it didn´t work. I thought I might have changed something on my main router and didn’t notice so I reset the configuration on the CRS and started from scratch. Firesticks will still not work. Any other device you connect to the AP’s will work correctly except the TV’s.
If I plug the AP’s to my ISP’s router it works correctly.
My answer based on your story is: the problem is the messed up configuration.
However we need a big crystal ball to help you find out what is the source of problem. No network diagram, no configurations, additional router involved.
No, because luckily you didn’t come to tamper with any of our routers.
