Switched to Quic and Fire TV Max stopped working. Did a full reset and it cant even register the device. Nothing else changed besides the fibre provider hence posting if anything has similar issues.

At a guess, either the Fire TV has spontaneously crapped out or it's not connected to the internet properly after changing ISP's?

 

So did you get a new router and maybe you havent connected to the (new) wifi?

 

Apart from that - I wouldnt think there is anything that should make the AFTV not work on a particular internet provider.

Not using a different DNS that is linked to your previous OP by chance?

Router has been rebooted and i confirmed that it picked the DNS address from Quic. Have rebooted the wifi access point as well in case it was caching something. As the FireTV was factory reset , i dont expect it to cache anything. Will buy a new Fire TV tomorrow and test with that in case my one decided to die (though it is less than 1 yr old)

As a side note, i got a notification from Amazon that i logged into my account from Europe. I wonder if Amazon is detecting the Quic IP address as not from NZ and has some anti fraud stuff kick in.

If it is the same IP you are using now then it shouldn't appear as Europe.

Update...i think issue with the DNS @ Quic . I hard coded the DNS to use DNS4Me and it worked without any issues.
