Connect Amazon Fire Stick To Wifi Without Remote

Using the Amazon Fire TV Stick, you can get streaming content on any television. You will require only a wireless internet connection and a television with an HDMI port. That is why people who love to travel always take the Fire TV Stick along with them wherever they go. They just have to enter the Wi-Fi password of their hotel or any other place of stay, to access the device. However, at times, you might forget to take the remote control with you. No worries. There are some methods to Connect Amazon Fire Stick To Wifi Without Remote. You can also continue using the Fire TV Stick without the remote after you have connected it to the internet.

Now, HDMI-CEC comes into play.

HDMI-CEC is the abbreviation of HDMI-Consumer Electronics Control. It allows interoperability among devices that connect through HDMI. CEC is an optional feature, and many of the high-quality televisions support it. An HDMI-CEC remote can control several devices such as Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV Stick. If your television is supporting the CEC feature, there is no need to worry. In case your television does not support the CEC feature, or you have turned it off on your Amazon Fire TV Stick, you might get the following idea: Why can’t I use my smartphone as a remote for my Amazon Fire TV Stick? You might think so because there is a Fire TV app available for your smartphone. And, you think you can use the smartphone like a remote at home at any time of the day, utilizing the voice controls.

But the fact is that you cannot do so because of the following reasons:

Your smartphone and the Amazon Fire TV Stick have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Your Amazon Fire TV Stick has been set up to function on your home Wi-Fi network, which you cannot carry to every place you visit.

Since you cannot change the Fire TV Stick’s network connection to that of your local Wi-Fi network, your smartphone and the Fire TV Stick cannot communicate with each other.

Therefore, you cannot use your smartphone as the remote for your Fire TV Stick.
