If I understand correctly, you have a fire stick 4k with ethernet 
adapter going over powerline.

My experience with powerline was not good, IIRC it would randomly 
disconnect for a minute or two at a time and then reconnect. I don't 
know if this is what you are having. You may do better with WiFi.

Instead of powerline I now use Ethernet over coax, since my house has 
coax cables built in for cable tv that are not being used. This give 1GB 
speed and consistent reliability using motorola MOCA adapters.
