    Echo Dot won't connect to the wifi

    Hey ladies,

    My Echo Dot, which worked perfectly until last night, refuses to connect to my wifi. It will connect to my tethered phone wifi but not the house wifi. Also, my 5G connection isn't showing up. It's really confusing and annoying.

    I've:
    Reset the Dot
    Reset my internet
    Deleted the saved passwords
    Deregistered the device

    Nothing is working.


    Please get my Alexa back. I need to know the weather.

    What kind of wireless access point do you have? Does it see the SSID being broadcasted?

    Sometimes (depending on the vendor) certain access points can use DFS channels, some user devices cannot see those channels. For example the hubbi's Nvidia Shield couldn't connect to wireless. I had to disable DFS channels before it could see the broadcast.

    I reset the whole thing again and added a new Dot. Once I connected the new one, the old one started working.

    Makes total sense.

    What do you actually ask Alexa?

    I told her she was beautiful. Apparently, she's tsundere.
