I was just trying to help a friend debug a FireStick that seems to drop the WiFi connection most of the time. He has other FireSticks and FireTVs in his house that work fine, but this one was a no-go. This is the fourth one he's had do this in 2 years. I've had two FireSticks in 2 years and one of them died fairly quickly. Either there is something about his Vizio TV that fries FireSticks or FireStick reliability is not what it should be. There are other options out there (Smart TVs, Roku sticks, AppleTV devices, etc.) that might be worth investigating. Look into whether or not they support all the streaming services that you like on your FireStick. Last I checked, Roku didn't have a DISH Network app and my buddy says that he watches Fox News through some app on his FireStick that was not available on Roku, so there are differences in app availability.
