My Fire stick does a similar thing. Its the first one that came out, when they sold them for $19, couldn't use it for streaming prime music as it kept dropping internet. It also skipped on shows.
I kept using My roku's. But I wanted a FireTV for other stuff and the 4K and I have to say the FireTV box is awesome. It is so fast and has not once dropped anything, nor has it skipped.
Fire stick isn't the only stick type device though we have had issues with. We tried a couple of other brands and they did similar stuff. I am sticking with the boxes from now on. Never had any issues with my Fire tablets.
