      Hello JavierC,
      I am sorry to hear you are having issues connecting your Amazon Echo Dot. Here are some steps to try and help you connect your device: First, plug it in and open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. In the app, navigate to Devices > +, select "Amazon Echo," then choose your device model. The light ring on the Echo Dot will turn orange, indicating it's in setup mode. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the device to your Wi-Fi network, then select your preferred language and location to complete the setup process. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. AmazonDevices

    The sensitivity to recognize the voice deteriorates over time and it is not encouraging.

      Hello ChristopherJ! I am so sorry you are having issues with your Echo Dot. One thing I would recommend to try is to say "Alexa, Check for Updates." This will ensure you are on the latest software update. You can also unplug your device for 30 seconds and then plug it back in as well. You definitely should not be getting degradation of voice recognition quality over such a short time as we have Echo Dots that still function after many years of use. If neither of these helps improve your experience, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot further. I hope this helps some and that you have a phenomenal day! AmazonDevices

    Kept saying it was in the wrong house instead of its own. Had to be a bad one because I asked the Good Samaritan neighbor if he’d seen or heard it where it said it was on his property and he had no knowledge of any such speaker.

    I've returned it cause to use it you need to buy a lot of subscriptions. Google Nest is much better! Don't waste your money.

      Hello Muza! Thanks for trying out the Echo Dot. I'm sorry to hear about the frustrations with subscriptions. There is a lot you can do for free on the Echo Dot like asking about the weather, setting timers, making voice calls to other Alexa enabled devices, control lighting/thermostats/smart plugs/appliances and more. If you want to play music, you can add your preferred music platform whether it be Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and more. I surely hope you give the Echo Dot another try and as always, if you have any questions, you can contact Amazon customer service at 1-888-280-4331 for support on this device. AmazonDevices
