I just tried this but once it gets to the xfinity login screen I am unable to type anything. How do I type my user name and password?
you need a mouse toggle for firestick. Once you get that to make cursor appear you need to push play button on controller twice quickly.
The other alternative is to use a Bluetooth Mouse which I have done, but ran into the problem other’s have discussed that can’t run any of the streams. Haven’t figured that one out yet. Ken
Hit the return button once or twice.
