Your video saved me from sending back my Echo Dot to Amazon. I was having trouble setting up my echo dot and called the number given on the error msg I kept getting during device setup. The Service rep was useless and kept insisting I let him take over my PC to set up my echo and when I refused he took me thru a bunch of useless steps and blamed the problem on my network settings and hung up on me. I was able to fix the problem using your video. Thank you so much!
same things happening to me. except i cant connect no matter what. im in nz so it explains it. and im also on samsung galaxy A70... im beginning to think its not compatible.
This is an explanation of the little paper that came with the box. Last I remember, I know how to read. But - NO instructions here on how the CONNECT the device to the internet or not enough information!!!!!
Watch again from 3:40 to the end... It literally explains step by step how to manually set it up to connect the Dot to "the internet" if it won't connect automatically.
This Video literally made it possible for me to finally setvit up. Very easy to follow instructions. I almost sent the device back thinking it was no good because I spennt at least an hour a day for 3 days trying to set it up. Thank you.. thank you!
I’ve got the same response from Alexa Wi-Fi is not connected i just got this Amazon Echo dot 3? Can’t connect with Wi-Fi and the light ring is spin around
when i go thru the steps to set up the network it tells me internet may not be available. It does show the amazon-XXX to connect but i get the "may not be available" then when I try to connect to it no good. frustrating as .....
My Alexa app does not look like yours at all and I’v got the app I guess and now I don’t remember my password now what is there too do I need or to contact customer service??????
does amazon echo dot charge everytime that you say alexa play the music do amazon app charge for that please let me know asap so i would like to know thanks
That's the other thing mine did, once I got it in set up mode, it wouldn't stay there. About 30 seconds later the yellow light went out and it said something like, you are no longer in set. Up mode.
Can Alexa be used in Nigeria? I can’t seem to see Alexa app in my App Store. Only saw the app that has ASK icon. I need help on how to set it up in Nigeria
Am considering an Echo Dot...I've watched the set-up video and it may sound dumb but...must the device be connected to a speaker or...does the amplification come directly from the device?
Can different Amazon accounts be connected to the echo dots? For example my husband and I have one account but our college kids live with us and have there own. Will they be able to connect to the echo dot with their account?
@@danielledemello7382 Actually right after I posted this I figured it out just forgot to reply.......All you have to do which the author of this video forgot to very importantly mention is that you have to turn on your LOCATION AND BLUETOOTH I cant believe he left it out!!!! That's what you have to do and its there!!!
@@emmasdumb4580 and obvious, you're doing it wrong. You need to do what the instructions tell you or find somebody a family member or friend that can help you if I was there I help you I cant
Do you just need an account or a prime account? I have prime but does it charge for anything? My kids are at a boarding school and I don’t want all sorts of charges coming up
sorry had to laugh at that one, my brother came from winnipeg for a visit and had to set up my parents ffirst fire stick and it works great now thinking about getting alexa dot for it as well?
I need some help with Echo Dot 3rd Gen. I have try several headphones and ear buds. I can't find one that the 3.5 mm plug stay in place you have to hold it IN or jiglle to hear the sound . Am I doing soming wrong ? Do I have the wrong kind headphone? ThankU
Sir this Amazon Alexa app is not unavailable on play store in Nepal so how I download in my mobile. I have Amazon speaker but I can not connect in my mobile. Sir, is this available Amazon app in Nepal also ?
I realize this is a few years old. I lost power during a storm and I'm trying to reconnect to my echo. I had to set mine up manually also. However, when I went to my wifi,. Amazon wasn't there. I waited and it never showed up.
Headache these dots, I recent tried to set up a relatives, (I have set up my own before) the problem u have is we sorted app but then didn't gave Internet connection, so sorted connection then lost connection on the app!?? Seems like a vicious circle, seems maybe I need to unplug modem and the dot and start again making sure for connected to Internet first then run through the app?
@John Smith hi, seems my step dad managed to get it working in the end, took a while, I think he said something about having to put modem details into the app?
One quick question. In Sony X85J, I enabled Alexa using Echo dot. Getting all commands executed (on, off, volume, pause, play etc) EXCEPT change of channels. It takes the command but DO NOT execute it. Any reason? ? ? Is it not enabled in INDIA??~ Have seen few utube video of outside world, there it works.
My Alexa is not saying anything or has a blue ring around it I've plugged it but nothing's happening I've said it name and read the extractions so many times and nothings working what do I do😭😭

Did he pay you to say this? A check, cash or card...lol

@@kaitybear01 I have Samsung A70 as well and it's not working for me. Did you manage to set it up?
This was very helpful to me at all times man!!
Thank you so much for this video because and and Alexa were at odds for the longest but now you helped fix our relationship 🤗

Watch again from 3:40 to the end... It literally explains step by step how to manually set it up to connect the Dot to "the internet" if it won't connect automatically.
When connecting highlight Amazon TFN then hit advanced options and try to switch to WPS. This may be the problem.
I got one from goodwill it wasn’t in the box
Exactly

i need this video cause i got it for my birthday april 3🎂🥳😁
I lost my cord and box that came with my echo dot gen 2 will it still work if I don’t use the exact ones from the box
Is this video for any type of alexa
What does the end of the power cord looks like that plugs in to the Dot?
Omg thx my friend bought a other one to suprise me with it THX SO MUCH MAN
Do I just need to buy the Echo Dot? Or do I need to buy anything additional? Like the plug I see always recommended on Amazon?
The plug is included with echo dot
thanks for instruction,
Very helpful for the Alexa....
Is it necessary to download the app?
Yes
My Alexa app does not look like yours at all and I’v got the app I guess and now I don’t remember my password now what is there too do I need or to contact customer service??????
Can I use an iPOD to set up my alexa echo dot... I don't have a smart phone... just a PC. Thanks
Outstanding instructional video. Super easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
I have one question do u need Amazon prime to use it
Thanks that was helpful...IT WORKED...thank you :)
Cool video thank you for explaining well in this video
Thank you for helping me out!
Wicked.. so simple to understand but having issue with connection to wifi :)
Me too
do u have to have 2.4ghz WIFI or can u use 5ghz
does amazon echo dot charge everytime that you say alexa play the music do amazon app charge for that please let me know asap so i would like to know thanks
Main thing is to have your wifi password ready and also make sure the Dot stays in set up mode. Would have been lost without this video
That's the other thing mine did, once I got it in set up mode, it wouldn't stay there. About 30 seconds later the yellow light went out and it said something like, you are no longer in set. Up mode.
Thanks for the step wise guide to set up echo dot... short n sweet video... the essence was covered well....
Thanks
No problem
Do we need to plugin the charger while using the echo dot ?
I’ve returned my Alexa echo dot itt did not complete my set up WiFI this suucks
Thank you
Does it need plug in all the time??????
Why is echo so tricky to set up? My internet radio took 1 minute
Security issue. Alexa is AI. So it need more steps to verify user. remember the word: AI.
dont compare AI with radio....
Does it matter by color?
littleme goes crazy nope
Thank you sir
Hi! I would to ask is therr any other app that i can install for amazon alexa because this app you showed is not available in our country.? Please
Can Alexa be used in Nigeria? I can’t seem to see Alexa app in my App Store. Only saw the app that has ASK icon. I need help on how to set it up in Nigeria
Do you need an Alexa to hook up this dot?
Am considering an Echo Dot...I've watched the set-up video and it may sound dumb but...must the device be connected to a speaker or...does the amplification come directly from the device?
Larry J. Burton it comes from the echo dot. It’s actually a “smart” speaker. And yes there’s a aux so you can connect another device
Can it work without the Wi-Fi and how far can it reach in a big house
Can different Amazon accounts be connected to the echo dots? For example my husband and I have one account but our college kids live with us and have there own. Will they be able to connect to the echo dot with their account?
Yes just share the password with them :)
There was literally an ad of how to set it up lol
Why not
Can i connect my echo dot to any kind of tablet or phone?
Awesome
I am not getting the "CHANGE WI FI" icon on the set up its not even there? What do I do?
Same here!!

Does alaexa need wifi only. For setting up ?
You need the alexa app to set it up. The Alexa app is downloaded from the app store through a smartphone device or tablet.
How To Tech i did that and it keeps saying its not connected to wifi
All time you need wifi
@@emmasdumb4580 and obvious, you're doing it wrong. You need to do what the instructions tell you or find somebody a family member or friend that can help you if I was there I help you I cant
Do you just need an account or a prime account? I have prime but does it charge for anything? My kids are at a boarding school and I don’t want all sorts of charges coming up
do you have to pay for anything ?
Are the echo dots a spying thing?
Yeah they report everywhere
The Echo dot does not have a camera just voice R S. and it only starts listening when you say "Alexa".
is the echo app free to use?
When I click echo and Alexa nothing comes up apart from “this iPhone”
So your telling me I just bought this for no reason there is no WiFi
ikr
Jonah Brewer well I am getting WiFi but then it says updating but takes ages and never updates
oof
You're.
The Powerpuff Girls I does not need correcting 😂
Can it not work with just the phone internet? The mobile data i mean.?
So the eco dot doesn’t work if you unplug it ?
Hello thank you for your video. My son came from Tennessee and hooked it up for me
My son took my money and ran off to Tennessee
@@aaronveda do something about it
sorry had to laugh at that one, my brother came from winnipeg for a visit and had to set up my parents ffirst fire stick and it works great now thinking about getting alexa dot for it as well?
If the wifi requirement is username and pass what do u do
It would have been nice if you could have sample command Alexa
How can we change the language that alexa talks?
Please explain.
But what if you have your home wifi is on and you have to add the amazon wifi as well
Do you have to have an amazon account to use this? Like prime?
@Adam pixelok thank you
I need some help with Echo Dot 3rd Gen. I have try several headphones and ear buds.
