If your Alexa is not connecting to WiFi, you’re likely experiencing frustration with voice commands not working, smart devices not responding, and music or routines failing. Fortunately, this is a common issue with straightforward fixes.
1. Check Your WiFi Connection
Start by confirming that your internet is working. Try connecting your smartphone or computer to the same WiFi network. If those devices aren’t working either, reboot your modem and router.
2. Restart Your Alexa Device
Unplug your Echo or Alexa-enabled device for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Often, a simple power cycle can restore the connection.
3. Reconnect Alexa to WiFi
Open the Alexa app on your smartphone:
Tap Devices > Echo & Alexa
Select your device
Tap Change WiFi network
Follow the step-by-step instructions
Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz network, as some Alexa models don’t support 5GHz bands.
4. Update Your Router Settings
Make sure your router doesn’t have MAC address filtering enabled, which might block new devices. Also, keep the firmware up to date.
5. Check Alexa’s Firmware
Outdated firmware may cause connectivity problems. Alexa updates automatically when connected to WiFi, so ensuring it’s connected at least briefly is key.
6. Factory Reset as a Last Resort
If none of the above works, perform a factory reset from the Alexa app or using the device’s physical reset button. Then, go through the setup process again.
Final Tip
If Alexa still won’t connect to WiFi, contact Amazon Alexa customer support for advanced troubleshooting. They can help identify network conflicts, hardware issues, or recommend a replacement if needed.
