    *I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

    My echo dot light ring continues to rotate a pale yellow ring, but mostly stays a violet color. And yes it is hard to distinguish what color it is. Is the Orange ring a true Orange? I keep getting "Not Orange? click on Action button" But it still won't connect. Never goes from Blue to Orange. Not sure I've ever seen Orange. As for:
    "Go to your Wi-Fi settings on this computer and select the network of the format Amazon-XXX. It may take up to a minute to display. After connecting to Amazon-XXX, you can continue
    setup."
    A network called Amazon-UWG did appear but even that didn't get me connected. Says no connection. Shouldn't be this difficult. If I have a virus wouldn't the set up show an error or something.

      The action button works to turn off alarms, and it also helps with the reset feature by holding it down. If you hold it down over 5 seconds, it goes into a reset sequence which allows you to change wifi and other settings. I'll experiment with it more. Again thanks for watching the video. please leave comments and other ideas on the blog at www.wizardofwestla.com leave any experiments that you have done.

    So does this mean it runs thru the wifi of the tablet and not the computer modem?
    I have a tablet that I don't use much that I could use but I'm worried it will be slow as christmas etc.

    Once I got the orange ring on, I turned off my mobile data, connected to Amazon-xxx, and connect to my wifi. It worked that way. After, I turned my mobile data back on when everything was done.

    NOTE: if you are using iHome control on your Echo Dot I had a problem for a couple days that prevented me from using the home controller. It looks like that is fixed now. If you have heard of any more problems regarding this, please post a comment and let me know.
    thanks Ed
