    What are you trying to connect to the firestick with?

    An app of some sort?
    Is your device on a WiFi network when you are connecting to the firestick?

    Does the firestick connect to the Internet?

    Is there an IP address showing on the firestick Ethernet port?

    OK.

    If the Ethernet isn't being detected:
    One fix is to unplug the stick, unpug the adapter from the stick, unplug the power.

    Then connect the adapter to the stick. Plug the stick into the TV.

    And lastly, plug the power in.

    If that doesn't work then try plugging into a different hdmi port.
