Preparation

Set up your FireTV in the way suggested by Amazon.


Next, you need to discover the network settings your network has allocated to the firetv.

Goto Settings



Then scroll across and click on System



Then select About and then Network



And make a note of the following values

1. IP Address

2. Gateway

If you're an very advanced network user, you may also need to take note of the Subnet Mask. If you don't know what this is, just ignore it :)

Now that you know the network values you are on you can continue to configuring your network.

Let's go...


On the FireTV / Stick

Goto Settings



Then scroll across and click on System



Next you need to do slightly different things depending on whether you're using Wifi or a wired internet (via a cable to the FireTV)


If you're connecting to the internet via Wifi

  1. Click on WI-FI if thats what your using to connect to the modem/internet

  2. Select your current WI-FI network and forget WI-FI network by Pressing the button with 3 lines on it.

  3. Press the Select button to confirm forgetting.

  4. Select search all networks and the top one on the list should be the one you just forgot.

  5. Reselect the wifi network that you just forgot

  6. Input your WI-FI password then Click on advanced


Now jump to the common steps for both wired and wifi connections


If you're connecting with a cable (wired connection)


1. Click on Network wired



2. now click on "Configure Network" and manually configure the network




For both wired and Wifi connections


Here we enter the IP address we are going to use for the FTV.

Use the value you noted at the beginning of the article (or do it now if you didn't).  Here we're using 192.168.1.129



Next step it will ask for a default gateway, put in the Gateway from the top of this post. Example 192.168.1.1



Then enter 24 as the network prefix.




Enter the Unblockr DNS server for your country. Here we use UK 178.62.57.141 and click Next 

(do not use the ip address shown in the below picture)



Enter the Second DNS server (Example uk) 139.162.231.18 and click Next



And that's it ! You're ready to enjoy Unblockr on your FireTV/Stick



Press the Return key on your remote till you reach the main menu.
