*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
If this was a factory reset then why does the Amazon app still retain the name I associated to the device? I am having fairly consistent disconnects with my echo dot, all other WiFi devices are working perfectly. The amazon Echo full size devices are working perfectly as well. Have moved to diff areas of house and right next to the WiFi router, with no change.
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!
My echo dot 2nd generation doesn't respond at all. It is constantly showing blue light (not blinking at all), not a single button responses nor the resetting process works. I tried restarting several times still the same issue. anyone have a solution or might be familiar with such a situation?
I bought used one on ebay and did this "hard reset" and put it in my system ....but it still is taking commands from previous owner? It chimed an alarm last night and woke my wife up this am saying "time to take antibiotics" (no one taking antibiotics here) What the hell? The instructions say to "de register" device before giving to someone else and THEN do a hard reset ....is this thing junk now because it was not delivered registered?
Didn’t work. Mine worked perfectly at my winter home, got back to my permanent residence, it won’t turn on at all. No light, no ring of color, nothing! Grrrr
It is very difficult to connect to wifi if you switch internet service providers, and calling customer service doens't help either they speak to you like you are stupid and slow
OMG, best video. I hate the "what's up guys?". Then the person talks for 10 minutes about nothing related. Great video!
Clearly you don’t have any patients
@@musaddiqchowdhury603 I have patience to wait. Also, since I work in medicine, I have patients too.

I had so much trouble getting my echo to pair to my router. This was just the fix. Thank you!

Excellent instructions. Thanks to you my Echo Dot in back in business after a day of frustration.
Right on. To the point worked fantastic that’s what I needed that a bunch of talking going on thank you
It worked fine before but now it does not for some reason. Plz help
The blue light on mine doesnt turn off. Ive tried everything
Try it like 10 times, when the lights are fully off then you hold the action button for 6 seconds.
My orange light won’t go on
None of this works on mine. Just a solid blue light ring. Tried action button and vol - with mute button for 20 sec
Just wait it will eventually I'm bored I know it's been10 months and you probably already figured it out
suzy fitzgibbon help

Mine was not resetting. I saw where someone replied that you may have to hold the buttons for up to 4 minutes, after 2 minutes nine reset.
Did it work?

My orange light won’t comenon
Worked on echo spot
Jay Harris woah is the echo spot a new device, I have never heard of it!!
Found a fix: Hold down the microphone and minus buttons on the Echo Dot until the orange light appears (no longer), then release.
Ty
But my light doesn’t turn orange it just stays blue, what does that mean?
It didn’t work but I haven’t used my echo dot in two years

Where is the action button
The dot button is the action button
Didn’t work for me
Yay my Alexa is broken😀

Great video, easy simple to understand process BUT MAN shit music playing louder then you are talking. Learn the meaning on the word AMBIANT.
It dosen't work :(
It’s kinda creepy when I look at it😂
Help I did this and it started speaking Japanese or sum 😭
Why does every video need pointless, repetitive music? It's distracting and annoying, and adds nothing.
Thanks
Thank you!
Didnt work
