One of the first things you need to do after getting an Alexa device is to connect it to a WiFi network. So, if you change your WiFi network or try to use your Alexa device in a new place with a different WiFi network, your device just won’t work. Here’s everything you need to know about how to connect your Alexa device to a new WiFi network.
If you’re setting up your Alexa device for the first time, check out our guide on how to set up Alexa on an Amazon Echo smart speaker.
Alexa devices need a WiFi connection to function properly. When you ask Alexa a question or use a voice command, an audio recording is sent to Amazon’s cloud over your WiFi network. Then it is processed and sent back to your device over WiFi so Alexa can answer your question or fulfill your request.
To connect your Alexa devices to a WiFi network, open the Alexa app and tap Devices. Then select Echo & Alexa and choose the Alexa device you want to connect to a new WiFi network. Finally, tap Change next to WiFi Network and enter the WiFi password for that network.
Once you connect to a new WiFi network, you might have to set up your device in the Alexa app. You will need to choose a language, which room your Alexa device is in, set up voice ID, enter your address, and choose whether you want to use Amazon Sidewalk. However, you can skip all these steps by tapping the “X” icon or “Skip” in the top-right corner of your screen.
