Thank you Dave. You speak clearly and slowly enough to follow the steps. I realized that the orange light ring needs to be rotating around for set up. And if the ring is red and solid, then the mic is turned off. I reset it all and it's now working.
Dave, your video describes my problem perfectly. However, the App on my phone does not give me the option of "wi-fi" on the Echo that is offline. When I open it, under my name the first section is "Connected Devices", which under that is the subwoofer. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same problem. My phone is about five years old, could that be the problem?
*Most important step - before getting into the setup mode for changing wifi you must turn on your location/gps on your mobile/tablet on which you are using Alexa. Without turning on location you will be stuck and could never change your network.
You’re a genius so with the help of your video i was able to connect our echo to the WiFi. I realize i bypass the setting up with the Alexa wifi and then to change to our current wifi 🤣🤣 I’m a happy old camper!!! I’m also a new subscriber!!
Your video was excellent. It went straight to the issue and walked me through it without any trouble. It was concise and easy to understand. Great job!!
We have long resisted getting an Echo. Never really saw a need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB When we recently completed some remodeling in our home, we realized we had failed to add a switch to turn on a certain lamp across the room. We couldn't run new wiring (which would have been expensive if we could), so we got our first Echo which completely solved our problem for about $40 (Echo Dot and smart plug). We just ask Alexa to turn on/off that light. Heartily recommend it to solve this kind of conundrum!
Hi, I have three fire TVs, three echo dots and an echo plus. I also have my Sonos system connected by Alexa. Do I have to change the network on every single one separately? Is there a way to do it so it affects the whole system? I also have lights on smart plugs and a thermostat. Thanks very much Rob
Thank you so much! I am in my 60s and didn't grow up with all this tech but your walk-through has meant I could connect my devices. I have a few health conditions and probably the most impactful is called SCVD [Small CerebroVascular Disease] and it means I get easily confused and have memory issues. My devices are actually my aids as I have medication meals and drinks [and even bedtimes] prompts that I have timetabled into my devices. I also use them to remind me of appointments and important events I would otherwise forget. Thank you for enabling me to get all this back up and running.
Thank you for the simple explanation Amazon had on on line that was gibberish. yours made perfect sense. I have subscribed and bookmarked your video for future reference.
In my settings, there is not an option to click on Wi-Fi. I moved from California to Oklahoma and I'm trying to connect to the Wi-Fi in my new place. I do not have a setting that says Wi-Fi. Why would there not be a setting for Wi-Fi on my Alexa app?
Hi Dave! great video! I got an Echoe Dot for Christmas but the only wi-fi I have is on my iPhone! Is it possible to set the Echoe Dot up with just my iPhone please??
I have a new router, and my iPad iPhone and computer are all connected to the Wi-Fi network, and I have tried all of the steps up to adding a device. My Amazon echo does not find the device. It keeps telling me to stay within 10 feet of my echo device and check that it’s plugged in and it has the orange light. I’m at a loss.
@@danielle2830 yes! Turned out that you can’t reboot Alexa on your iPad.you have to go thru the app on your computer. Did that and it worked. Good luck.
Thank you. I was seeing the orange light but Amazon-Alexa was not appearing in my WiFi settings. Pressing the button for 6 seconds put the Echo in set up mode and finally it appeared on my iPhone wifi settings.
Can someone help we have bought an Alexa echo plus we have gone through the setting but it keeps saying the internet isn’t reachable is this because it’s a bt router hub 5
Great video but I am still unclear on one thing. I have to go round to each and every device and do this or is there someway to set it up all at once? Also ,y router is still up and running I just want everything to connect to the mesh system which has a different name and password.
Hi Dave. Just found you on TH-cam. I have an Echo Dot, Gen 2 I think. I followed you to 1:42 and had to stop. My Dot shows it is not connected to the internet, even though I have Amazon connected in Wifi. I cleared the memory on this Dot but no luck
I have multiple echos at home on my wifi, if I take one of them to work to connect to work wifi, once I change wifi in my phone app will the home echos cease connecting to my home wifi?
Not sure if this works when you have changed the Password on an existing SSID. I had to let the Alexa connection process fail then I would be able to "forget" the previous SSID network (at the Alexa install level) Do a re-choose SSID , then physically type / paste in my robust password. I could not invoke the "saved to Amazon". I have a few alexa devices - not so much fun. Perhaps an user "challenge"
Thank you Dave for your help. I’m normally ok with any connection or change over. However, Alexa is a bit of a cow and is particularly awkward whilst it just answers back! It has an attitude! Nevertheless, your instructions solved the connection issue. It can now operate other Wi-Fi products. In fact, it’s just put the kettle on. Thank you Jase.
As a COX Communications tech, many homes have Alexia. We upgrade their modem/router combos a lot. Most elderly customers may or may not have the Alexia app on their phones or iPad. If they do, most do not remember their passwords. Can Alexia be a master reset to sync to the new modem?
Thank you, your explanation made the procedure very easy. I've recently changed from a Broadband and Talk ISP to a much faster fibre Broadband only service. Is any sort of adapter available which can connect my old landline phone system to the new router?
Hi! I have set up my Echo Studio in my Airbnb apartment, and connect it to Spotify etc. The apartent is in a different city. If a guest resets the Echo, or changes the settings, can I reset the speaker to the original configuration remotely, i.e. using my app without having to fly all the way back to my Airbnb address? WIth a cloud link to my router help?
Hi Dave, I have just set up two Echo Dots again after getting a new router. The newest one, which I have just bought, has resumed normal function - for example opening BBC Sounds etc, but the old one (2018) doesn't obey orders and won't open Sounds or Global Player, but insists on playing unrelated music it seems to guess at. I've disconnected everything more than once and gone through the set up process again, but to no avail. Can you help? Thanks! Stuart
This does work perfectly. Well done. Although all my smart plugs are still flashing the power light and on the Alexa app it shows all plugs are labeled “ device is unresponsive”. Any help would be much obliged.
I purchased a second hand Echo Plus , have reset & derigistered , I manage to connect to Network eventually & Amazon but it keeps telling me I need to register , trouble is I cant see my new device on list . Can you help ?
Hi Dave -- I have an Echo Dot set up in my Mom's Apartment (using the Management's Wi-Fi; their permission). I want to set up Alarms and Reminders for her from my home, either via PC or the phone App. I repeated get "Echo Dot is Offline". How can I manage the Echo Dot remotely with my phone App without it continually reading "Offline"?
Hi, I'm struggling to connect my Echo Dot 3rd to my new wifi because it's a subscription for the whole building without a router or password. What should I do to connect the Echo?
please answer this 1) can I use my main mobile's hotspot where my alexa app is also running? 2)IS it necessary to open alexa app whenever you start talking to alexa? 3) Do I need to plug in alexa all the time? 4) Can I use it somehow without wifi? 5) can I operate smart light without net? You FInd this as silly questions,but please help It is too much new to me
Hi I've just bought a huawei 8535 pay as you go hub and tried loads of times using your settings still no joy have you had anyone else asking about this devise cheers
Hi Dave, sadly, I must be doing something wrong, whenever I seek Amazon Alexa app, it states, via Google Play, 'This item is not available in your country'...any ideas please?
Unfortunately, my ISP is Spectrum, notorious for frequent and unpredictable outages. When Spectrum goes out I can't control my lights. How do I prevent this?
Hi I've got multiple Echo Dots, smartplugs, etc., that use my home WiFi network. Recently, we've had a garden room built, with a WIFi powerline extender, which uses a different WiFi network name and password. I want to add another Echo Dot in the garden room. Can I manage all the devices (on both networks) within the same Amazon Alexa app? Many thanks, in advance! Karl
That process of linking to a device's own wifi I have experienced that with a wireless door bell. What is happening there? it is bridging to allow the device access to the home network, but what is actually happening? There seems to be two networks being used at one point.
Yes very good information on that device I got that one set up but I need to set up my echo next generation can you send me a video how to do that please. Thank you
Hey Dave, my Mom took her Alexa Echo on vacation but does not have a cellphone or computer with the app. How can she connect her Echo to the internet where she is without using the app? HELP!
I searched for connecting to a new wifi without installing the app. Unfortunately your video came up among the results. You did your best, but I still need instructions how to do it without the app. I set it up originally without the app, it should be possible to change to a new router without the app.
I followed your step by step guide, after the orange light I didn’t get the option to change the wifi setting, I am still not connected to my new Wi-Fi, please help
If you are going crazy like I was because these steps are not in the app the easiest way to fix the problem is go to devices and select which device you're trying to connect but what you want to do is deregister your device and go back to beginning and select add device and then it will walk you through the steps and it will work
I have an echo and 2 echo dots at my home in the state of Pennsylvania I brought one of my dots with me to my fiancé’s home in Delaware He has an echo and 2 dots also in his home. My echo’s are connected to a multi room setting. My question is can it be possible for me to set up this echo dot in my fiancé’s home for myself?
Thank you Dave. You speak clearly and slowly enough to follow the steps. I realized that the orange light ring needs to be rotating around for set up. And if the ring is red and solid, then the mic is turned off. I reset it all and it's now working.
DELIGHTFUL. NO BELLS AND WHISTLES. STRAIGHT AHEAD. EASY TO FOLLOW. PERFECT. IT WORKED.THANK YOU, DAVE!
My Alexa app doesn’t have change WiFi when I click on my device
Amanda Copple Same problem, I got a new router and when I click device it says Alexa on my phone online ??
🔫
Tough
anyone know how to fix it?
Same thing. The "wireless" category isn't even there.
dont subscribe to a lot of stuff, this was really informative and very quick and to the point, well done. subbed.
hi, when i try to switch from my personal wifi to amazon wifi to connect echo dot, it says no internet connection

Life saver! Simple and simple. Kudos to Dave.
It did work for me perfectly. Simple instructions and easy to follow. Thank you!
*Most important step - before getting into the setup mode for changing wifi you must turn on your location/gps on your mobile/tablet on which you are using Alexa.

thanks bro that worked for me.
@@mikeramos7651 my pleasure bro
Good lord, was going to update to a better router but I have about 6 Amazon devices. This is gonna be a long morning. Thanks!
Thank you so much - you have saved the life of my Alexa - which was just about to go out the window!
Thank you Dave. Easy peasy. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you Dave. I finally got my Amazon Echo working again after switching internet providers and following your easy to follow instructions. 🙂
Your video was excellent. It went straight to the issue and walked me through it without any trouble. It was concise and easy to understand. Great job!!
When I went on Wi-Fi setting nothing came up for Amazon just all local Wi-Fi still could not change wifi
Thank you I had been trying for days your info helped me the most to get connected.
Useful but what about when you have a wifi extender, can Echo connect to more than one without reprogramming?
We have long resisted getting an Echo.

Hi, I have three fire TVs, three echo dots and an echo plus. I also have my Sonos system connected by Alexa. Do I have to change the network on every single one separately? Is there a way to do it so it affects the whole system? I also have lights on smart plugs and a thermostat. Thanks very much Rob
You saved me from throwing out about five Alexa's after changing networks! Thank you-right on!
Thank you so much! I am in my 60s and didn't grow up with all this tech but your walk-through has meant I could connect my devices.
