The Fire TV of Amazon will obtain the IP address and the DNS server from the router automatically that is connected to. If DHCP is enabled on the router. A static network is used sometimes. So when you want to assign a static IP Address manually and a DNS server address to your Fire TV. 

 

Follow these steps

  • Go to the home screen and then delete “Settings”.
  • Now open the Network.
  • If the network is listed that you want to connect then highlight the network and press “Menu” then “Select”.
  • You need to select “Join Other Network“.
  • The network that you want to connect to, type your SSID there. And then select “Next”.
  • You need to select the type of security used with the network you are connecting with and then you have to select “Next“.
  • Type the password to the network, if it is required. 
  • Then, Select “Advanced“.
  • The IP address that you want to use, type it manually and select “Next”.
  • For the Gateway of the network, type the address and select “Next”.
  • You need to type the Network prefix length then select “Next”.
  • For the first DNS server type the address and then select “Next”.
  • For the second, the DNS server type the address and then select “Next”.
