If you’ve recently moved, changed your internet service provider, or just updated your WiFi router, you might be wondering how to connect Alexa to new WiFi. Thankfully, the process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps needed to get your Alexa device back online with your new network.
Step 1: Open the Alexa App
To begin connecting your Alexa device to a new WiFi network, open the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. If you don’t have the app yet, it can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, log in using your Amazon account credentials.
Step 2: Access Device Settings
After opening the app, locate and tap on the ‘Devices’ icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to a list of all connected devices. Select ‘Echo & Alexa’ from this menu where all of your Alexa devices are listed.
Step 3: Choose Your Device
Find and select the specific Echo device that you want to connect to a new WiFi network. This will bring up its settings page where you can make various adjustments and updates.
Step 4: Update WiFi Settings
On your device’s settings page, look for an option that says ‘Wi-Fi Network’ or ‘Change Wi-Fi’. Tap on it and then select ‘Change’ when prompted. The app will now guide you into setup mode.
Step 5: Connect to New Network
Follow on-screen instructions which may include placing your Echo device in setup mode if it’s not already there (usually involves saying ‘Alexa, help’). You’ll then see a list of available networks; select your new WiFi network from this list and enter the password when prompted. Once connected successfully, Alexa will announce that it’s online again.
And there you have it. You’ve successfully connected your Alexa device to its new WiFi network with these easy steps. If you run into any issues during setup, try rebooting both your router and Echo device before retrying these steps.
