You can use your laptop to set up a virtual router, which makes your laptop into a wifi hotspot similar to smartphone tethering. Then turn on the VPN on your laptop and connect the Fire TV to that. We have instructions on how to do this for both Windows and MacOS.

Alternatively, you can set up a VPN directly on your home wifi router. Doing so will connect all the devices connected to your wifi network to the VPN. This process varies depending on the router firmware.

Prime is available in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, the UK and the US.

Prime Video is available in pretty much every other country as a standalone service. The price and selection of TV shows, movies, and Prime Music varies by country.

The US version of Prime has the largest catalog of streaming content.

Here’s a breakdown of video qualities and their required internet speeds:

  • 900 Kbps for low quality (bare minimum)
  • 3 Mbps for standard definition (480p)
  • 4 Mbps for high definition (720p)
  • 5 Mbps for full high definition (1080p)
  • 15 Mbps for 4K HDR ultra high definition (2160p)

All of the VPNs we recommend meet the speed requirements for HD 1080p streaming, and most can even handle 4K streaming without buffering. Your performance may vary due to a number of factors, but if you notice quality has diminished, try connecting to a different VPN server.

However, a VPN only helps if your ISP is discriminately throttling a specific type of traffic or traffic to a specific destination. If you’ve reached your monthly data cap and all traffic is being throttled, then a VPN won’t help much.

However, not every VPN that works on the desktop website is guaranteed to work on the Prime Video mobile app.

People all over the world use VPNs to access their home Prime account while traveling. They do this to place orders while on vacation that will be waiting for them when they get back home. Or to access their home country’s Prime Video catalog.

Failing this, try connecting to a different server to change your IP address. It may be the current one you’re using has been blacklisted by Prime Video. Remember to clear your cookies between each new attempt. If you still can’t get your VPN to work with Prime Video, contact your VPN’s support to ask if they can recommend a specific server that works.
