firestick not able to connect to wifi hotspot?

[22ohdenali]

I went through the initial onstar setup call and have the wifi hotspot. The screen upfront is showing my ssid and password and allowing connected devices to share internet.

I attempted to connect a firestick to the rear monitors and it recognizes the wifi but after entering the password I get a message saying can't connect to amazon, select another network. I then connected to the home wifi and everything works perfect. Setup the firestick using that method and then went into settings to connect to the car wifi and it will connect and save, but says "no internet"

Any idea what could be wrong? My phone connects to the car's wifi to use android auto wireless just fine.

you need to confirm that you actually have internet via the onboard 4g, android auto only needs wifi to work so that isn't confirming you have internet access only that you have wifi
so try connecting a tablet or connect your phone and then turn off cellular data and see if you can connect to the internet
