If you have multiple devices running in the household, it is easy to lose track. And if you’re facing issues with your Fire TV Stick and want to get it repaired or sell an old device, knowing the Fire TV Stick model and generation details is a must. Keep reading to learn 5 ways to get this information and more.
With the first generation streaming stick released in 2014, the Fire TV Stick has come a long way. However, before you go for the newest Fire TV Stick (Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max), it is worth knowing what Fire TV Stick model you own. This way, you can compare fairly and see if you need the new one. So, let’s get right into it without further ado.
Note: Ensure you’re signed in to your Amazon account before proceeding.
1. Using Settings Menu
Just like any other device, you can use the Settings menu of your Fire TV Stick to check device details. Here, you can see details like your Fire TV Stick’s generation. Follow the below steps to do it.
Step 1: Open your Fire TV Stick. Then, go to the Settings icon from the menu options.
Step 2: Select ‘My Fire TV’ once the Settings menu opens.
Step 3: Here, select About.
Step 4: Now, select ‘Fire TV Stick’.
Note: It will appear as Fire TV Stick 4K on 4K devices.
In the right-hand side panel, your Fire TV Stick’s details, such as device type, serial number, OS version, etc., will be visible. Additionally, you can also know if your Fire TV Stick is 4K.

2. Checking Fire TV Stick
If you can’t use your Fire TV Stick, you can check the physical body of the device for details like your Fire TV Stick’s model number. Make sure to check this in a well-lit place, as the dark gray body of the Fire TV Stick and the black ink of the printed words make it hard to make out the details.
Then, once you have the details, perform a Fire TV Stick serial number lookup using Google or any other search engine. This will help you get more information regarding the device and generation of your Fire TV Stick.
3. Using Fire TV Stick Box
If you’ve still held onto the box your Fire TV Stick came in, you’re in luck. This is because the outer packaging of your Fire TV Stick contains details regarding the model number, device type, and even the device generation. Please note the front side of the box will tell you whether your device is 4K or not.
In most cases, if you look at the right side of the box, you can see other details printed horizontally, like device type and generation.
Similarly, if you look at the vertical vignette on the other side of the packaging, you can see the model number of your Fire TV Stick.
4. Checking Order History on Amazon
Ordering your Fire TV Stick from your Amazon account makes setting up the device easier, giving you the option of pre-linking your Amazon account to the device. Another benefit of doing this is the ability to see details of your product from the Amazon orders page. Here’s how to do it.
Note: You can skip to the next step if you’ve ordered your Fire TV Stick from a different website or store.
Step 1: Open Amazon on any web browser. From the menu options, click on ‘Returns & Orders’.
Step 2: Once the orders page opens, go to the search bar and type ‘Fire TV Stick’. Then, click on Search Orders.
Step 3: From the search results, go to the relevant order and click on Order details.
You should see the details regarding your Fire TV Stick on this page. Additionally, download your order invoice from Amazon to sell or repair your Fire TV Stick.
5. Checking Devices on Amazon Account
Your Fire TV Stick must be registered to an Amazon account for it to work. This means you can use the account settings for the relevant Amazon account and see the currently registered devices. From here, open the product page for your Fire TV Stick to see more details. Follow the below steps to do it.
Step 1: Open Amazon on any web browser. Here, go to ‘Account & Lists’ and click on Your Account.
Step 2: Scroll down to the ‘Digital content and devices’ section and click on ‘Content and devices’.
Step 3: From the menu options, click on Devices.
Step 4: Click on the device named Fire TV or any other relevant name.
Step 5: Now, click on your Fire TV Stick.
This will open more details for the Fire TV Stick registered to your Amazon account. If you have more than one Fire TV Stick registered, follow the above steps and manually select the device you wish to see the details.
6. Using Amazon Help Page
Amazon has a dedicated help page for determining which Fire TV device you have. The only catch for using this method is that you will need to visually look and compare your Fire TV Stick with the ones displayed on the page. Then, once you find a match, you can see more details from the technical specifications section.
You can use this method if you can’t access your Amazon account or Fire TV Stick device menu options.
Tip: It might be a long shot, but you can also use object identifier apps to identify which Fire TV Stick model or generation you currently have.
