How to connect your Amazon Echo to a different wireless router 

DELIGHTFUL. NO BELLS AND WHISTLES. STRAIGHT AHEAD. EASY TO FOLLOW. PERFECT. IT WORKED.THANK YOU, DAVE!

Thank you Dave. You speak clearly and slowly enough to follow the steps. I realized that the orange light ring needs to be rotating around for set up. And if the ring is red and solid, then the mic is turned off. I reset it all and it's now working.

Life saver! Simple and simple. Kudos to Dave.

We have long resisted getting an Echo. Never really saw a need. ru-vid.comUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-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!

It did work for me perfectly. Simple instructions and easy to follow. Thank you!

Your video was excellent. It went straight to the issue and walked me through it without any trouble. It was concise and easy to understand. Great job!!

Very simple straightforward and VERY HELPFUL clip. Thank you.

I am so grateful for your help-so simple when you know where to start!!!

You’re a genius so with the help of your video i was able to connect our echo to the WiFi. I realize i bypass the setting up with the Alexa wifi and then to change to our current wifi 🤣🤣 I’m a happy old camper!!! I’m also a new subscriber!!

Thank you Dave. Easy peasy. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you Dave. I finally got my Amazon Echo working again after switching internet providers and following your easy to follow instructions. 🙂

Thank you so much! I would have never figured this out!

Dave I was able to connect a new router with my old Alexa, thanks for sharing your skills

Thank you I had been trying for days your info helped me the most to get connected.

thanks - I've been trying to do this for 2 days and you helped me do it in 5 min!!!

dont subscribe to a lot of stuff, this was really informative and very quick and to the point, well done. subbed.

Thank you for the simple explanation Amazon had on on line that was gibberish. yours made perfect sense. I have subscribed and bookmarked your video for future reference.

Thank you. I struggled for days to figure this out and by 1:41 into your video I had the answer!

Thank you so much - you have saved the life of my Alexa - which was just about to go out the window!

great, simple and to the point! it worked!

Thank you so much! I am in my 60s and didn't grow up with all this tech but your walk-through has meant I could connect my devices. I have a few health conditions and probably the most impactful is called SCVD [Small CerebroVascular Disease] and it means I get easily confused and have memory issues. My devices are actually my aids as I have medication meals and drinks [and even bedtimes] prompts that I have timetabled into my devices. I also use them to remind me of appointments and important events I would otherwise forget. Thank you for enabling me to get all this back up and running.

Thanks for your help, and I love the Mega Mind shirt too.

Thanks for sharing this video. It was very helpful. Good job.

Thanks very much! Your video sorted me out 👍🏻

I cannot thank you enough for your video. Best ever =)

Very clear instructions thankyou

Good lord, was going to update to a better router but I have about 6 Amazon devices. This is gonna be a long morning. Thanks!

thank you so very very much !!!! youre a star I never ever thought i would be able to do this, but I havexxx

Thanks. Worked for me first time.

Perfect video i need to watch it again..but very thorough

Thanks a lot. You solved my problem for me. I'm a subscriber! :-)

Thank you very much...i was breaking my head...Your video really helped me a lot

Thank you, your explanation made the procedure very easy. I've recently changed from a Broadband and Talk ISP to a much faster fibre Broadband only service. Is any sort of adapter available which can connect my old landline phone system to the new router?

Brilliant! Thank you so much. :)

Thanks so much for your tutorial.

Thank you!! New Subscriber!!

Thanks dave, saved a lot of hair pulling! 👍

Great video now reconnected. Many thanks

wow, thank you for your helpful video

Thank you Dave for your help. I’m normally ok with any connection or change over. However, Alexa is a bit of a cow and is particularly awkward whilst it just answers back! It has an attitude! Nevertheless, your instructions solved the connection issue. It can now operate other Wi-Fi products. In fact, it’s just put the kettle on. Thank you Jase.

You saved me from throwing out about five Alexa's after changing networks! Thank you-right on!

Ty for ur support

Super helpful thank you!!!!

Great Video Many Thanks

Very helpful many thanks 🙏

Thanks!! Made it easy 🙌

thanks for sharing how to connect it!

Thank you so much for the video, my 75 year old brain needed help !!!!

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Worked perfectly!

Thanks bro love from India

This helped me so much thank you sir

Thank you this video helped me out so much

Thanks for helping.

Thanks for connecting to the network😊

It was very good advise

Just what I needed

Dave, your video describes my problem perfectly. However, the App on my phone does not give me the option of "wi-fi" on the Echo that is offline. When I open it, under my name the first section is "Connected Devices", which under that is the subwoofer. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same problem. My phone is about five years old, could that be the problem?

Excellent buddy!

Great video thanks

This helped so much! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this advice Dave. this was so much help when i got a new wi fi code. much obliged again. liz.

Thank you Dave!! Got it 😀

Thanks for your help! It is now working.,

You are a star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️thank you for your clear instructions I am not in the least bit technically literate but your tutorial made it so straight forward...😋

OMG it worked! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks Dave,

Thanks, it worked just fine, I could not get it to connect and Help&Feedback could not help me. so thanks again.

Brilliant. Thanks so much.

Hi, I have three fire TVs, three echo dots and an echo plus. I also have my Sonos system connected by Alexa. Do I have to change the network on every single one separately? Is there a way to do it so it affects the whole system? I also have lights on smart plugs and a thermostat. Thanks very much Rob

Thank you!

Hi Dave! great video! I got an Echoe Dot for Christmas but the only wi-fi I have is on my iPhone! Is it possible to set the Echoe Dot up with just my iPhone please??

Fantastic watching your video made this so easy it worked and you explained it wonderfully Thanks much appreciated 🤗🤗😀👍

Thank you so much 😊

Great video but I am still unclear on one thing. I have to go round to each and every device and do this or is there someway to set it up all at once? Also ,y router is still up and running I just want everything to connect to the mesh system which has a different name and password.

Thanks Dave

Thank you so much it is not set up yet but it will be soon

Thanks so much, I just moved to a new house.

Dude your a best sub just for that!

#Dave Hello I'm glad I picked this particular Video bc This is wat I needed help on .Now to go back & watch it again so I can Set it up & also pair with my TV lol that will help to. I mean after all. Alexa does run off WI-Fi. So Thanks for your Step by Step Directions .Great job .& yes I'm subscribed 👍

My Alexa app doesn’t have change WiFi when I click on my device

THANK you

Thanks man! You saved the day..

Thank you. I was seeing the orange light but Amazon-Alexa was not appearing in my WiFi settings. Pressing the button for 6 seconds put the Echo in set up mode and finally it appeared on my iPhone wifi settings.

Useful but what about when you have a wifi extender, can Echo connect to more than one without reprogramming?

video was great

Thank you!!!

hi, when i try to switch from my personal wifi to amazon wifi to connect echo dot, it says no internet connection

Thanks for this, I didn't listen to the whole video however I did install Alexa on my mini ipad, and had no problems..when i used my Android phone, it would not connect to my Echo 1.

Thanks

Yes very good information on that device I got that one set up but I need to set up my echo next generation can you send me a video how to do that please. Thank you

Thank you! Do you know how to tell Alexa your name or how to change your name if she has the wrong one?

*Most important step - before getting into the setup mode for changing wifi you must turn on your location/gps on your mobile/tablet on which you are using Alexa. Without turning on location you will be stuck and could never change your network.

As a COX Communications tech, many homes have Alexia. We upgrade their modem/router combos a lot. Most elderly customers may or may not have the Alexia app on their phones or iPad. If they do, most do not remember their passwords. Can Alexia be a master reset to sync to the new modem?

Hi! I have set up my Echo Studio in my Airbnb apartment, and connect it to Spotify etc. The apartent is in a different city. If a guest resets the Echo, or changes the settings, can I reset the speaker to the original configuration remotely, i.e. using my app without having to fly all the way back to my Airbnb address? WIth a cloud link to my router help?

If you are going crazy like I was because these steps are not in the app the easiest way to fix the problem is go to devices and select which device you're trying to connect but what you want to do is deregister your device and go back to beginning and select add device and then it will walk you through the steps and it will work

Hi Dave, I have just set up two Echo Dots again after getting a new router. The newest one, which I have just bought, has resumed normal function - for example opening BBC Sounds etc, but the old one (2018) doesn't obey orders and won't open Sounds or Global Player, but insists on playing unrelated music it seems to guess at. I've disconnected everything more than once and gone through the set up process again, but to no avail. Can you help? Thanks! Stuart

Do you have a video on pairing AirPods to a MAC?

Hi Dave. Just found you on RU-vid. I have an Echo Dot, Gen 2 I think. I followed you to 1:42 and had to stop. My Dot shows it is not connected to the internet, even though I have Amazon connected in Wifi. I cleared the memory on this Dot but no luck

When I went on Wi-Fi setting nothing came up for Amazon just all local Wi-Fi still could not change wifi

This does work perfectly. Well done. Although all my smart plugs are still flashing the power light and on the Alexa app it shows all plugs are labeled “ device is unresponsive”. Any help would be much obliged.
