Set up was extremely easy:
1) I plugged the Fire stick into my TV and put the batteries into the remote control,
2) the Fire stick started itself, asked which WiFi network is mine, then asked me to enter the WiFi password using the remote control. It then said it was connected to the internet,
3) the Fire stick downloaded updates and restarted itself, which took 10 minutes,
4) to log in to my Amazon account, the Fire stick asked me to go to the amazon.com/code website on my computer and enter the code that it displayed on my TV, which was very easy. Now the Fire Stick was logged into my Amazon account,
5) Lastly, it played music and asked me to check that the volume control on the remote control worked, and it did.
Done. I was playing a TV show with this device less than 20 minutes after opening the package. The TV image and audio are very clear and it loaded the show quickly.
Also, the remote control is small and has exactly what you need, without all the unnecessary buttons on my TV remote. The buttons turn the TV on/off, adjust volume up/down (including a mute button), fast-forward/rewind, and holding down the speaker button lets you provide verbal commands to Alexa.
This is an excellent device at an affordable price.

By Leslie Mok on September 30, 2020
I just got this 2 hours ago, I can’t hardly wait to write a first review, I have all generations of all firestick, this 1080 stick is equally as good as the 4K, as far as speed and responses, I am now waiting for the 2020 version of 4K , hope it will be much faster. I am glad Amazon is on top of the game, certainly my hat off to you guys!By Leslie Mok on September 30, 2020

**Update** somehow fixed itself. Called customer care back after they reached out to me and was going to walk me through technical support, but no longer needed. 3 days later now all English...guess it was space dust (?) Giving it 4 stars from 1, since still gave me that bandito scare from install.

Bug fix?
By Chris Rod on September 30, 2020
Received brand new, first of its kind, 3rd Gen 2020 FireStick, with its default setting...in Spanish! Luckily I own the 2019 FireStick and was able to find the “change to English” option on the preferences using another TV. However, booting up this “advanced” FireStick on the TV it’s being connected to took some time as I had to use Google Translate for the initial set up before changing any language preferences. The majority of the apps are now in English after figuring it out, but as you can see in the display picture the main headings CANNOT be changed to English! Probably made in Mexico instead of China...Will change my rating if Amazon reaches out to resolve this annoyance.By Chris Rod on September 30, 2020
