This bendy cable allows <b>you to fit the Chromecast between any other devices that might be occupying other ports<\/b>. The design of the Amazon Fire TV Stick is a black USB-style stick, similar to that of the NOW TV Smart Stick.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do I connect my Firestick to mobile data?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b><br \/>\n  How to Connect Amazon Fire Stick to Mobile Hotspot?<br \/>\n <\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n   Head to Settings &gt; Network.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Select \u201cWireless Hotspot (e.g. John&#8217;s Phone)\u201d\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Enter the password.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Select \u201cConnect\u201d\n  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>How do you use a Firestick remote without WiFi?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you do. Set up a <b>smartphone or other device as a wireless hotspot<\/b>. When you enable the hotspot, set your SSID and network password to be the same as they are on your home network, the one that the Fire TV Stick is attuned to. Install and run the Amazon Fire TV app on a second device.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Does Firestick require Internet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Does the Amazon Fire TV Stick need WiFi? <b>Yes you need WiFi to power the TV Stick<\/b>. The device does not have an ethernet port so WiFi is the only way to connect your device (and TV) to the internet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do we need internet for casting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While <b>the Chromecast can work without an internet connection<\/b>, its firmware has to be up to date. On your primary device, open a Google Cast-ready app and click the &#8220;Cast&#8221; button. &#8230; Your Android device should now be connected and you can cast media you have stored locally to the screen that&#8217;s connected to the Chromecast.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How can I cast from my iPhone to my TV without WIFI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Use Apple Peer To Peer Airplay<\/b><\/p>\n<p> You can use the Apple peer-to-peer feature to mirror your iPhone to Tv. This feature is helpful, especially when you want to screen share without a wifi connection.
