New Fire Stick Setup
Bought a new Fire TV Stick? We'll plug it in, update it, connect your Wi-Fi, sign in to your Amazon account, load your apps and pair the remote — then show you how it all works.
We set up your Amazon Fire TV Stick so you can just sit back and stream. Every model — Fire TV Stick HD, 4K, 4K Max, Lite and the Fire TV Cube — connected to your Wi-Fi, signed in and loaded with your apps, for homes across the Kāpiti Coast.
No fiddly on-screen typing, no getting stuck on the Wi-Fi step. We come to you, get it working and show you how to use it — and we set up other streaming players too, from Chromecast to Apple TV 4K.
Fire TV Stick on the Kāpiti Coast
Setting up a Fire Stick means plugging it into a spare HDMI port, powering it up, connecting it to your Wi-Fi, signing in to your Amazon account, and installing your streaming apps. Simple enough on paper — but the Wi-Fi step, the account sign-in and the fiddly remote typing are exactly where most people get stuck.
We do the whole thing for you. Whether it's a brand-new Fire TV Stick 4K Max or an older one that's stopped behaving, we get it connected, updated, signed in and streaming — then show you how to use it so you're away laughing.
We set up Fire Sticks and streaming players everywhere from Paekākāriki and Paraparaumu to Raumati, Waikanae, Te Horo and Ōtaki, and across the wider Kāpiti Coast.
Every model covered
Amazon makes a few different Fire TV Sticks, and they're not all the same. We set up and configure whichever one you have — or help you pick the right one before you buy.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the fastest with the best Wi-Fi for 4K streaming, the 4K is the sweet spot for most homes, and the Lite and HD are great value for a second TV. The Fire TV Cube adds hands-free Alexa and faster performance again. Whatever you've got, we'll have it streaming your apps in no time.

Reviews
Real streaming results for Kāpiti Coast homes.
Amazing service. For years we struggled with intermittent disconnections, dropouts and weak signal down the back of our house. We thought we had the right setup, but Dave came and installed a whole new setup for us, and we can now stream 4K Netflix in the back bedroom, yay!
