      Great info and thanks. We changed wi-fi modems and set up a repeater. Alexa would not operate my smart home devices at all. It would not recognize the server. I tried everything I could think of. You just saved me another headache on a different day!

    Brilliant! Your reset method just worked perfectly on my Echo Dot 4th Gen. It had stopped responding to any voice commands. Not even to the “Hey Alexia” or just “Alexia” command. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us in such a straightforward and how-to way! I’m a subscriber for life!

    Great tips!! This was a great video. But I have another problem. My older sister and I both have Alexas and mine is connected to hers somehow. Like when I play music it stops and calls me up all the time to say, “it’s playing on mine.” We tried fixing this issues before, but nothing we thought about worked!
    Do you think resetting it would work?

    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

      Nope, when you reset it can be set up on a new account without needing to deregister.

    Thanks for sharing. I switched to a different router and it was driving me crazy trying to get connected to it. I could see my old router in the settings but there was no option to choose a new one, really annoying. You would think Alexa/Amazon would prompt you that you might need to reset the device before you can connect to a to a different router system. Not sure if this is the case for everyone but this was going to one of their own systems, i.e. eero mesh network. I tried the first reset and it didn't work, maybe due to my app on my phone still active while attempting the reset. At any rate I deleted the app then went through the reset process again as shown in the video, took about 2 minutes to finally get it clean. Re-installed the app, old router was gone and it connected fine to the eero after that. Another 1 1/2 hrs. wasted due to poor documentation and/or available help. Thank goodness for folks like you and TH-cam as technical support now days is joke.
