You will have to re-submit your IP address each time it changes (router reboots, new location, etc.)
Update: With the recent Amazon Fire TV OS update (to Version 5.0.5), Fire TV devices (boxes and sticks) will ignore IPv4 DNS settings in favor of IPv6 if available. Given that IPv6 beaks our service, if you see an IPv6 address for DNS in your device's network settings, then you'll need to disable IPv6 on your router in order to allow your Fire TV to use our DNS.
First you need to find the IP of your router. Please use the appropriate method below and note down the IP of your router.
1. Open up the program command prompt
2. Type โipconfigโ without the quotes and press enter

Enter the first three groups of numbers exactly the same as the IP address of your router. As an example, if your router IP is 192.168.0.1, then use the IP address 192.168.0.7 or something to that nature. The important part is to change the last digit so you get an IP from the same IP range as the router.
