It might be possible that your firestick issue is persisting because of poor wifi connection. So here are the steps to reconnect your wifi easily:

After that, locate the ‘settings’ tab among the other tabs at the top of the firetv home screen.
With that, click on ‘Network’ from the list of options.
Choose your preferred network from the choices available. If you did not find your network, then select Rescan. While doing so, make sure you have kept your wifi router close to the screen.
