If that doesn't work, or if your device has intermittent connectivity issues, try the following steps to resolve most Wi-Fi issues: -Make sure that your Echo device is within 30 feet (or 10 meters) of your wireless router. -Check that your Echo device is away from any devices that cause interference such as microwaves, baby monitors, or other electronic devices. -Check that your router is working. Check the connection with another device to determine if the issue is with your Echo device, or with your network. -If other devices can't connect, restart your Internet router and/or modem. While your network hardware restarts, unplug the power adapter from your Echo device for 3 seconds, then plug it back in. Make sure that you're using the included power adapter for your Echo device. -If other devices are able to connect, check that you are using the correct Wi-Fi password. You can also try turning off some of your other devices temporarily to reduce interference and see if that affects your Echo device's ability to connect. -If your Wi-Fi password recently changed, update the Wi-Fi settings for your device in the Alexa app. -If your router has separate network names (also called SSID) for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, try moving your device from one network to the other. For example, if your router has both ""MyHome-2.4"" and ""MyHome-5"" wireless networks, disconnect from the network you're using, and try to connect to the other one. -If your device is still having intermittent connection issues, restart your device. If you are experiencing connection issues on multiple devices, it might be a network issue. You can wait a few hours and try again in case of a network outage, or contact your Internet Service Provider. Lastly, you can use the Alexa app to update the Wi-Fi settings for your Echo device. Echo devices connect to dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) networks that use the 802.11a / b / g / n standard. Echo devices can't connect to ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) networks. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Open the Alexa App . 2. Select Devices . 3. Select Echo & Alexa. 4. Select your device. 5. Select Change next to Wi-Fi Network and follow the instructions in the app. If you don't see your Wi-Fi network, scroll down and select Add a Network (for hidden networks) or Rescan. Hope that helps, have a great day!
