Method 1: Device details
- Open Settings from the Fire TV home screen.
- Go to My Fire TV or Device & Software.
- Open About.
- Select Network.
- Note the IP address. That is your local IP.
Important: the IP is not shown on the main Settings > Network screen. On Fire TV, Amazon shows it under My Fire TV / Device & Software > About > Network.
If you cannot see the IP address
- Make sure the Fire TV Stick is actually connected to Wi‑Fi or Ethernet before opening the details screen.
- Some devices use My Fire TV; others say Device & Software. The next step is still About > Network.
- If the screen is blank or the connection looks unstable, restart the Fire TV Stick and the router, then check again.
- As a fallback, open your router’s device list and look for the Fire TV client on the LAN.
Local IP vs public IP
Your Fire TV Stick local IP is the address inside your home network. Your public IP is what websites and streaming services see. Quick guide: Local IP vs public IP.
If you want the concept behind this first, start with what a local IP is. If the Fire TV address keeps changing, the next useful piece is DHCP.
If your real goal is ADB, media sharing, a Plex path, or a DHCP reservation, this is the address you need. Most home networks will show something like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
Practical shortcut: use the Fire TV Stick local IP when you need router reservations, network diagnostics or a stable device reference on your LAN. If you want to keep that address stable, see how to set a fixed local IP.
