For “Network Prefix Length”, enter 24. Click Next.
For “DNS 1”, enter the first ExpressVPN MediaStreamer IP address (found above) then click Next.
For “DNS 2”, enter the second ExpressVPN MediaStreamer IP address then click CONNECT.
You should be successfully connected to your Wi-Fi connection and can now use MediaStreamer on your Amazon Fire TV.
