REGISTER AND SETUP ALEXA ECHO
WIFI NETWORK

SETTING UP THE ECHO DOT BEGINS WITH TWO
THINGS:
1. Plug the Echo into a power outlet
2. Open the Alexa App.
It is not possible to connect ECHO to ad-hoc(peerto-peer)
networks. Setting Up the Echo Dot is
facilitated by connection to dual-band WiFi (2.4
GHz / 5 GHz) networks that work with the
802.11 a/g/b/n standard.

The first step, Go to the Alexa application, click
on the left navigation panel and select Settings.

2. Click on your device name and then click on
the Update WiFi button. Click on Set up a new
device in case you are adding a new service.

3. On the Echo device, the Action button has to be held and
pressed until the light ring changes to orange color. This will
make your mobile device connect with the Echo device. You
will see the list of WiFi networks available that will
help Connect Echo Dot to Wi-Fi.
Note: The app may indicate you to connect the mobile device
to the Echo device manually by using Wi-Fi settings.

4. Click on the Wi-Fi network and enter the network
password. In case your Wi-Fi network is not shown in
the options, then click on Add A Network or Rescan.
a. MAC Address: If you wish to add the Alexa device to
the list of approved devices, you need to scroll down
the screen until the MAC Address is shown.

Optional: Save the Wi-Fi Password- During the
set-up process, any Wi-Fi passwords that are
saved will appear automatically when a
connection is made between a new Alexa
device to the same Wi-Fi. Even if a switch
between networks is made, the password of
the Wi-Fi is remembered. For more information
on this topic, go to Saving your Wi-Fi password
to Amazon FAQs.

a. Optional- Connecting to a public network- In case you need
to Connect Echo Dot to Wi-Fi using a public network, you
must enter any required information that needs the web
browser to sign in like a hotel or a school. This information
might relate to accepting the conditions for using that
network, pre-shared password, just a button or the room
number. The information that you enter cannot be saved to
Amazon. In case more information on this topic is required,
the network owner needs to be contacted.
5. Select Connect: After a connection to the Wi-Fi is enabled,
You will receive a confirmation message in the application.
This indicates that Alexa is now ready to use.
