      Posted .

      Hello! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot. I'm sorry to hear about the setup difficulties and connectivity issues with your Xfinity WiFi service. To resolve the WiFi connection problems, ensure your Echo Dot is within 30 feet of your router and download the latest Alexa app. Plug in your device, wait for the orange light ring, then open the Alexa app, tap More, select Add Device, choose Amazon Echo, and follow the setup instructions. When connecting to Xfinity WiFi, use the 2.4GHz network if available, as Echo Dot works best with this band. If the network isn't detected, restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, move your Echo Dot closer during setup, and check that Xfinity security settings aren't blocking the connection. If issues persist, reset your Echo Dot by holding the Action button for 25 seconds until the light turns orange, then try setup again. If these steps don't resolve the connectivity issues, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 for advanced troubleshooting specific to your network configuration. I hope this helps get your Echo Dot connected successfully! AmazonDevices

    We love our Alexa's, wish there was a way to connect them all together instead of having to stop and start another when going into a new room like the google pods work.

    Echo dot brings everything you expect from a small speaker as expected. Quality sound is upgraded from previous model and voice control is improved where I feel i dont have to yell Alexa to get her attention.

    Works ok but we preferred the larger model. This seems to be the only reasonable option now but we preferred the original echo.
