Attached to cable box on port 3 and fire tv stick- port 4. Stick doesn't connect to wifi that way but does so when switcher not used. Any ideas?

I don't know, but could you put the fire stick in another input on the tv, and put whatever was in that spot into the hdmi switcher?

No clue. I have my Chromecast attached to a port and works fine, sorry to hear :(

I am assuming this is a power issue as the HDMI switch draws power FROM what is plugged into it, and the Fire stick depends on external sources for power. Thus the device cannot power BOTH the fire stick and the switch. I would recommend using the USB power cable for the fire stick AND a DC power cable for the switch. If you didn't get the power-cable head over to BestBuy and find their universal DC power adapter, Its like $20 and should have a tip to match this. If not some routers or ethernet switches use the same power adapter just match the voltage/wattage

I have never seen a Wi-Fi stick that works with a switch box. I believe you must use the Wi-Fi stick or fire stick in a direct port without a switch only with the current technology,

O.K. I can not answer this question but thought maybe I could ask something along this line...I am NOT a tech person so don't laugh at me. What is a Fire/ROKU stick do? Maybe you Kathy can let me know...I get basic cable on it.

Yes it will work with the Fire TV. works on most if not all sideloaded apps i have sideloaded( Xfinity, NHL Game Center). I plugged it in and it worked right away

It attaches with a cable wire, and it does not work with wifi. I have it attached to just one tv, but I believe with a cable "splitter," it could attach to more than one. I have not tried to do this because I don't want to mess with the wires.

I understand your frustration. I get the message that three ports are blocked by firewalls. I've tried turning off the firewall, but it is still intermittent. Also, I've been able to connect to sites when the Acer is plugged in but not connect to the same site two minutes later when it is running on battery. This novice would appreciate any help. Any techies who speak in normal terms out there????Thanks.Williebugs

Not with the Roku stick, or the Amazon Fire, since they both use a different types of remote signal

Assuming your TV has a DVI input and your Amazon Fire TV has an HDMI output, then this cable will only provide video connection, no sound. What you need is an HDMI Switch that will increase the number of HDMI ports of your TV. For example, Cable Matters 3 Port 3x1 HDMI Switch with IR ( see Cable Matters 3 Port 3x1 HDMI Switch with IR ) .

It must be a direct connection. The HDMI signal is not being converted into any type of network protocol that would be necessary for routing.

I only have my TV, VCR and Comcast box attached to mine. (The wi-fi and cable router are plugged into the strip on the "always on" side.) [ Not sure this is enough help for you. ]

Hi,I used a cable to connect to the tv, had a problem with Windows 8.1 and it was quicker to use the cable. I do not have ipads. Someday, when I get time, I will try the wireless option again, but for now, online order of hdmi cable was quicker. I used a 30'. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. I did read where 8.1 would work, and during the attempt at install, they recognized each other, and my patience ran out about that time.

Has any one connected it to fios and dvd and internet, if so, how did you do it, doesn't seem to work dvd or internet, unless i change tv to cable then it is the same as before the HDMI cable?

The switch works when one of the three units is turned on and automatically switches to another unit when it is turned on. I understand that if any of the three devices, like the cable box, is always on, that should be in slot 1, and the others should be plugged in in the order of frequency that they are used. I would try each of the three inputs separately in slot 1 first, then try them in tandem. I have had no problem plugging in a Dish Network Receiver, a Blu-Ray player and a Google Chromecast.

If you have a mini HDMI port that outputs the signal, it should work same as if you linked a monitor/TV to a laptop. I'm not sure if the Fire outputs, but assume it does. Most smart phones do. Good luck. The cable I purchased went from Mini to regular HDMI connection. My camera outputs Mini and my monitor is regular.If it doesn't work, right off the bat, make sure you have the correct settings on your Fire and whatever you'll be broadcasting to. There may even be an app for this.

Just had u-verse installed today (switching over from DirecTV). Never had this issue with the direct cable box but now all of a sudden this TV interferes with the U-verse box. When the TV is off the box works fine (you can see the channel switching ligt is working) but when the TV goes on I have to get to within 2 feet of the box to change channels. No help from either Samsung or U-verse!

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

There is nothing displayed on the TV, it just switches from Cable, Dish, Netflix (or Chromecast or whatever HDMI things you have plugged in). You can see a red indicator light on the box that indicates which cable it is switching to. I labeled my indicator lights on the small box A, B, C in order to determine which input I am switching over to. My TV has a source button on the remote that must be switched to the correct HDMI source as well.

I have a Roku stick, not a Kindle Fire, but it's the same in terms of basic function. My TV has only one HDMI input, but in addition to the Roku stick I have a cable box, so I need to switch. The Monoprice splitter works perfectly.
