This is an explanation of the little paper that came with the box. Last I remember, I know how to read. But - NO instructions here on how the CONNECT the device to the internet or not enough information!!!!!
Watch again from 3:40 to the end... It literally explains step by step how to manually set it up to connect the Dot to "the internet" if it won't connect automatically.
I’ve got the same response from Alexa Wi-Fi is not connected i just got this Amazon Echo dot 3? Can’t connect with Wi-Fi and the light ring is spin around
when i go thru the steps to set up the network it tells me internet may not be available. It does show the amazon-XXX to connect but i get the "may not be available" then when I try to connect to it no good. frustrating as .....
Your video saved me from sending back my Echo Dot to Amazon. I was having trouble setting up my echo dot and called the number given on the error msg I kept getting during device setup. The Service rep was useless and kept insisting I let him take over my PC to set up my echo and when I refused he took me thru a bunch of useless steps and blamed the problem on my network settings and hung up on me. I was able to fix the problem using your video. Thank you so much!
same things happening to me. except i cant connect no matter what. im in nz so it explains it. and im also on samsung galaxy A70... im beginning to think its not compatible.
does amazon echo dot charge everytime that you say alexa play the music do amazon app charge for that please let me know asap so i would like to know thanks
My Alexa app does not look like yours at all and I’v got the app I guess and now I don’t remember my password now what is there too do I need or to contact customer service??????
Can Alexa be used in Nigeria? I can’t seem to see Alexa app in my App Store. Only saw the app that has ASK icon. I need help on how to set it up in Nigeria
One quick question. In Sony X85J, I enabled Alexa using Echo dot. Getting all commands executed (on, off, volume, pause, play etc) EXCEPT change of channels. It takes the command but DO NOT execute it. Any reason? ? ? Is it not enabled in INDIA??~ Have seen few utube video of outside world, there it works.
Can different Amazon accounts be connected to the echo dots? For example my husband and I have one account but our college kids live with us and have there own. Will they be able to connect to the echo dot with their account?
Headache these dots, I recent tried to set up a relatives, (I have set up my own before) the problem u have is we sorted app but then didn't gave Internet connection, so sorted connection then lost connection on the app!?? Seems like a vicious circle, seems maybe I need to unplug modem and the dot and start again making sure for connected to Internet first then run through the app?
@John Smith hi, seems my step dad managed to get it working in the end, took a while, I think he said something about having to put modem details into the app?
@@danielledemello7382 Actually right after I posted this I figured it out just forgot to reply.......All you have to do which the author of this video forgot to very importantly mention is that you have to turn on your LOCATION AND BLUETOOTH I cant believe he left it out!!!! That's what you have to do and its there!!!
My Alexa is not saying anything or has a blue ring around it I've plugged it but nothing's happening I've said it name and read the extractions so many times and nothings working what do I do😭😭
This Video literally made it possible for me to finally setvit up. Very easy to follow instructions. I almost sent the device back thinking it was no good because I spennt at least an hour a day for 3 days trying to set it up. Thank you.. thank you!
Do you just need an account or a prime account? I have prime but does it charge for anything? My kids are at a boarding school and I don’t want all sorts of charges coming up
I realize this is a few years old. I lost power during a storm and I'm trying to reconnect to my echo. I had to set mine up manually also. However, when I went to my wifi,. Amazon wasn't there. I waited and it never showed up.
I need some help with Echo Dot 3rd Gen. I have try several headphones and ear buds. I can't find one that the 3.5 mm plug stay in place you have to hold it IN or jiglle to hear the sound . Am I doing soming wrong ? Do I have the wrong kind headphone? ThankU
@@emmasdumb4580 and obvious, you're doing it wrong. You need to do what the instructions tell you or find somebody a family member or friend that can help you if I was there I help you I cant
Am considering an Echo Dot...I've watched the set-up video and it may sound dumb but...must the device be connected to a speaker or...does the amplification come directly from the device?
HI I have a Hysense 32" smart TV how do I connect to it, Alexa works but when I ask her to find the TV she says she can not find it but it is connected to the internet? Any help would be gratefully received.
Sir this Amazon Alexa app is not unavailable on play store in Nepal so how I download in my mobile. I have Amazon speaker but I can not connect in my mobile. Sir, is this available Amazon app in Nepal also ?
Hi Dear friends. I purchased an Amazon Echo Dot wireless speaker. I can't get from the Amazon Alexa app to connect to Wifi. He reaches halfway and tells me that the password is incorrect from Wifi. But with the phone (iPhone X) I can connect to the Wifi of the Speaker. more than 4 hours and something I struggled and I do not shake. I feel like I'm exploding.
Can someone help me I went to devices and then the Alexa thing and then try to hook it up to the Wi-Fi but all it says on there is on this device which is on my phone I don't know how to do it can someone help me
That's the other thing mine did, once I got it in set up mode, it wouldn't stay there. About 30 seconds later the yellow light went out and it said something like, you are no longer in set. Up mode.
* * * Nice over view ......... the set up process looked too simple..... I presume since you already had another dot, you didn't have to do a full set up.... do you need to know your home Wifi pass code, etc? or does my phone (which is already set up with home wifi) already allow echo Dot to join in? Also, I do not have IOS devices, so will my I-phone 7plus, or my Windows10 PC, still do a full set up? Can Alexa access my iphone calendar and tell me my appointments? any trick to it? Finally, I have a Google Smartspeaker ("hey google"). Appointments, Calendar, Setting Reminders, & accessing telephone contacts can only be accessed by ONE VOICE. So voice recognition is a problem! I'm ok with the whole house having access. Is the Echo Dot the same way?? thanks so much
I have a echo dot 3 g and it works great.then i got the bright idea of getting a second one so i could have stereo in one room..bad mistake. There is no way i can get them to sync...i have tried it all...duh. well i can always put one at one end of the house and one at the other end.......Thats it.
Call amazon support. They will ask for the DSN number on the back of Alexa and register it from their end. Worked for me after almost a year of not connecting to the internet.
@@reece6373 Yeah, I do not know why it is doing that, I followed the steps correctly and all, must be a glitch with these devices? Apparently, we're not the only ones experiencing problems with the Echo Dot. This is my first device as far as having Alexa n such, could it be since I do not own an Alexa and just have the Echo Dot that is why I am having trouble connecting to my wi-fi?
Great video...thanks....I have the Echo Show and Echo Dot. I can sync my macbook bluetooth with my echo show and play music to it from my mac....but I can't find the eco dot in my bluetooth setting on my Mac....can you help me figure this out. I want my bluetooth on my macbook air to see both my echo dot -3rd gen and my echo show when I open it so that I can choose which one I want to play music to. Thank you!

When connecting highlight Amazon TFN then hit advanced options and try to switch to WPS. This may be the problem.
I got one from goodwill it wasn’t in the box
Exactly

I have one question do u need Amazon prime to use it
My first Alexa is arriving today Echo dot 3rd generation. This video was most helpful. Thanks for the info. 😊
I managed to setup with this video in 10 min thx 100x times
Can it work without the Wi-Fi and how far can it reach in a big house
Good video. One quick question. After setup, does it really need to be connected with mobile all the time?
Good question u are a good question
Hi! I would to ask is therr any other app that i can install for amazon alexa because this app you showed is not available in our country.? Please
Is this video for any type of alexa
Do I just need to buy the Echo Dot? Or do I need to buy anything additional? Like the plug I see always recommended on Amazon?
The plug is included with echo dot
Why is echo so tricky to set up? My internet radio took 1 minute
Security issue. Alexa is AI. So it need more steps to verify user. remember the word: AI.
dont compare AI with radio....
Need this video bc getting it for my birthday that's the only thing lol I really wanted it so
Same
Happy birthday in advance bro
@@Alexx-ne3xk thanks bro
Actually it's better to use google than alexa because I brought it's not that good but google is nice , the google speaker that's better

do u have to have 2.4ghz WIFI or can u use 5ghz
You are helping us set up our echo dot😊
But what if you have your home wifi is on and you have to add the amazon wifi as well
Can i connect my echo dot to any kind of tablet or phone?

sounds like your jack on the device maybe lose or faulty
its not your heads phones is what it sounds like plus u dont need head phones
Can it not work with just the phone internet? The mobile data i mean.?
Does alaexa need wifi only. For setting up ?
You need the alexa app to set it up. The Alexa app is downloaded from the app store through a smartphone device or tablet.
How To Tech i did that and it keeps saying its not connected to wifi
All time you need wifi

Larry J. Burton it comes from the echo dot. It’s actually a “smart” speaker. And yes there’s a aux so you can connect another device
This video was a big help, be ready with wi-fi number and amazon account password prior to setting up
Thank you so much

I just downloaded the Alexa app but it doesn’t have the “Devices” button
What does an orange ring round the device mean?

Hiw to connect one echo dot to two wifi different network?? Plz help

Is there a way to make sure my kids can’t buy anything on Amazon? That’s why I have been hesitant to get one.
Super informative !Thanks for sharing !
Still said internet is unavailable
If the wifi requirement is username and pass what do u do
Are the echo dots a spying thing?
Yeah they report everywhere
The Echo dot does not have a camera just voice R S. and it only starts listening when you say "Alexa".
Thank you ! This was very helpful!!
Hi,I’m sorry but do u know how to go from echo Alexa on mine it only says “Alexa on this phone”
can't use my phone because i don't have enough space for a new app. how do i use my laptop instead?
Thanks for this amazing information 🔥💓
Main thing is to have your wifi password ready and also make sure the Dot stays in set up mode. Would have been lost without this video
That's the other thing mine did, once I got it in set up mode, it wouldn't stay there. About 30 seconds later the yellow light went out and it said something like, you are no longer in set. Up mode.
How do I keep it from speaking, dialing through the dot?
