Fire TV Accessories Worth Buying — and the Snake Oil to Skip

Honesty Section
What You Should NOT Buy
'Wi-Fi boosters for Firestick'
There is no such certified category. If your Wi-Fi is weak, the real fixes are a Wi-Fi 6E stick on the 6 GHz band, an Ethernet-backed Cube, or moving the router — not a $12 dongle promising magic.
Extra HDMI cables for sticks
A stick plugs directly into the TV's HDMI port; the box contains everything it needs. You only need real HDMI 2.1 cabling when a Cube, console, or soundbar enters the chain.
Storage 'expanders'
Fire TV sticks don't take SD cards or USB storage for apps. The honest upgrade path from 8 GB to 16 GB is the 4K Max itself.
