Check this out...I had the firestick plugged into the back of the TV..I moved it to one of the side ports where it is right next to my router and since I first posted this thread I have had near flawless streaming...except the slight glitch every 10 min or so for a fraction of a millisecond. I got it also up and running on my laptop and when I hard wire the internet and use my TV as a monitor it works great too...
