You can reconnect the Firestick to the Internet by trying the following solutions but before that, check if the Firestick connection supports the Wi-Fi connection type (e.g., Firestick supports WPA2-PSK but not WPA2-ENT). Moreover, check if replacing the remote batteries and pressing/holding the home button of the Firestick remote for 10 seconds solves the issue.
Additionally, check if an electromagnetic interference (especially, if the device is attached to the back of the TV) is not causing the issue and you can check it by powering off and unplugging the power cable of all electronic devices like AC, Microwave, Comcast cable box, etc. in the vicinity or you can check the Firestick in another room if it is working fine there.

Your Firestick may not work if it is faulty or if your network router is not properly configured. In this context, trying another network (like the hotspot of your phone) may confirm the culprit and then the issue can be solved accordingly.
The Firestick might not connect to a Wi-Fi network if you have a dual-band router and using both the bands (i.e., 2.4GHz and 5GHz) as Firestick is reported to have connection issues with the 5GHz band. In this context, disabling the 5GHz band in the router settings may solve the Firestick problem.
If the issue is resolved with the 2.4GHz band, then you may enable the 5GHz band but set its channel to something between 36 to 48 and that may let you use the 5GHz band with your Firestick.
The Firestick (and many other Amazon devices) prefer to use the common IP scheme (192.168.1.xxx) and the Firestick may not connect to a network that has a different IP scheme (like 192.168.2.xxx). In this case, editing the router settings to use the common IP scheme or subnet (like 192.168.1.xxx) may solve the problem.
The Firestick might not connect to the Wi-Fi network if its firmware is corrupt and resetting the Firestick to the factory defaults may solve the problem. Before proceeding, make sure to backup the essential info/data as everything will wipe clean.
The Firestick might not connect to the Wi-Fi network if the firmware/OS of your router is corrupt and resetting the router to the factory defaults may solve the problem. Keep in mind the instructions to reset the router slightly differ for some users.
If the issue persists, then contact Amazon and ask them to reactivate your devices (it can happen after you Factory Reset the device). If that did not do the trick, get your Firestick replaced under warranty (if it is not working with any other Wi-Fi network). If the Firestick is working fine with other networks, you may use an ethernet cable to connect to the Internet or use a Wi-Fi extender.
My fire stick generates a wps pin that I can enter into the router to connect them. On my router wps is otherwise disabled. I see no reason for roku to not also support this or otherwise be a pain in the **bleep** about setting up wifi.
There are several ways to use Wi-FI Protected Setup. These include the Push button method, the PIN method and also via NFC (Near-Field Communication). In the PIN method, a user has to enter the PIN displayed on the router. This could either be a sticker on the router or generated on the router display. As for using NFC, the client has to be within reach to effect a near field communication between the two devices in question. Being the more popular method with MiFis or WiFi routers, we have detailed the Push button method below. 2ff7e9595c
