Users of Amazon Echo Dot often see an error where their device stops responding due to network connectivity. There are several reasons why your Echo Dot causes these issues, and you can solve them in a few easy steps. If you see an orange ring light on your Amazon Echo Dot and Alexa is not responding due to some errors in connecting to Wi-Fi, this guide will help you to fix it.
To fix Amazon Echo Dot not connecting to the Wi-Fi issue, check out the steps given below:
Commonly, if the Wi-Fi internet is too slow, Echo Dot may not connect to the internet. You will need to check your Wi-Fi speed, and if possible, change your Wi-Fi band from 2.4GHz to 5 GHz, and retry connecting to see if the error is fixed. To change the band, follow these steps:
Also, you can try bringing Echo Dot close to the router for a better internet connection. We also recommend keeping your device within 30 feet to avoid such errors.
If your Wi-Fi is connected and overloaded with too many devices while using the internet, they might restrict Echo Dot from connecting. In such cases, disconnecting all the devices connected to your Wi-Fi and retrying to connect Echo Dot to the Wi-Fi is the best solution.
Sometimes outdated Alexa apps might prevent Echo Dot from connecting to the internet. Such bugs are fixable by updating your Alexa app from Google Play Store if you are an Android user. For iPhone and iPad users, update using the Apple App Store.
If you have recently changed your Wi-Fi password, you will need to change the Wi-Fi settings of the Alexa app to avoid errors. To change the Wi-Fi settings, follow these steps:
If all the above methods fail, factory resetting your Echo Dot can solve the issue. The procedure for resetting varies with the generation. Once you reset your device, an orange ring light will glow on Echo Dot, and the device enter’s the ‘Set up’ mode. Now, you can set up your Echo Dot on your Android or iPhone smartphone to fix the issue.
