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

      Hi EmilyR,

      We are sorry you are not enjoying your Echo Dot 5th Generation fully! The 5th generation model has improved speaker quality from the previous model, to help deliver clearer vocals and deeper bass for rich vibrant sound. You can ask Alexa to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks and enjoy a dynamic audio experience anywhere in your home. You can also adjust sound settings via the Alexa App if you are wanting more crisp vocals or bass specifically!

      If you have any further questions about your device please reach out to us at 1-888-280-4331.

      Hope that helps! AmazonDevices

    • Brand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
      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

    I have this and the Echo Dot 3rd gen. I like how they work and allow me to control the lights withing my house. Nice at night to control my bedroom without having to leave the bed. I have not set it up but I am going to setup my Espresso maker to to a smart plug so I can turn it on to heat while I get ready to go down stairs.
