This article explains how to pair a Fire Stick remote, with instructions which will work for pairing the original remote if it has stopped connecting, and for connecting a compatible replacement remote. Show How to Pair a Fire Stick Remote to a TVMany Fire TV remotes are interchangeable, but not all. If you’re replacing a lost or broken remote, make sure the replacement is compatible with both your Fire Stick model and generation. To pair a Fire Stick remote, you need to restart your Fire Stick and put the remote into pairing mode as the Fire Stick is starting back up. Once the Fire Stick has started back up, it will be paired with the remote. This process is exactly the same whether you’re pairing the remote that originally came with the Fire Stick or a compatible replacement. Here’s how to pair a Fire Stick remote:
How to Pair an Additional Fire Stick RemoteYour Fire Stick can remember up to seven remotes at the same time, including third party remotes. If you have access to your original remote, and it still works, you can pair an additional Fire Stick remote through the settings menus. If you’ve lost your original remote, you can still use this process. Just use the Fire TV remote app on your phone as a remote, and use the following procedure to pair your new remote. Here’s how to pair an additional Fire Stick remote:
Can You Pair a Fire Stick Remote to a Different Fire Stick?There are several Fire Stick remote models, and they aren’t all interchangeable. So while you can pair a Fire Stick remote to a different Fire Stick, you can only do so if the remote and Fire Stick are compatible. For example, the 2nd generation Alexa Voice Remote isn’t compatible with the 1st or 2nd generation Amazon Fire TV, the 1st generation Fire Stick, or Fire TV Edition smart TVs, but it does work with other models. There’s no easy way to determine compatibility, so the safest option is to check with Amazon. Fire Stick remote listings on Amazon typically provide a list of compatible devices, and Amazon customer support can also provide further assistance if you aren’t sure. It doesn’t hurt to try pairing a remote if you already have one, but don’t buy a replacement until you’ve verified compatibility. Your Fire Stick can be paired to up to seven remotes, but each remote can only be paired to one Fire TV. If you pair a Fire Stick remote to a different Fire Stick, it will stop working with the original Fire Stick. FAQ
