When you buy your Amazon smart speaker, you are required to undertake a few steps before you can fully use all functions available. First of all, you must connect Amazon Echo with your Wi-Fi.
To be able to use Amazon’s voice assistant ‘Alexa’, you must have an Amazon account. It is very likely that you have an Amazon account since you bought the Amazon Echo or Echo Dot from Amazon. In case you have not registered into Amazon yet, make sure to set up an Amazon account. Additionally, it is worth considering to subscribe to an Amazon Prime account, as it gives you higher quality music.
The first step is to pick a device to set up the Amazon smart speaker. Download the app on iOS, Android, or Fire OS on Amazon’s own tablets. Sign in on the app using your registered Amazon account. Then click the lower right button ‘More’ and select ‘Add a device’. Press ‘Amazon Echo’ or ‘Amazon Echo Dot’ next.
Your smart speaker must be turned on for the following steps. Ensure that the cable is attached to the back of the Amazon Echo and that it is plugged into an electronic socket. Additionally, you should turn on the speaker by pressing the button.
Before you can connect your Amazon device with your Wi-Fi, you must put it into setup mode. You can do this by entering setup mode on the app. Your smart speaker should flash blue and then orange, which signalises that it is in setup mode. This process can take up to 30 seconds. Alexa will also inform you that the speaker is in set up mode. After that you must confirm that your phone is in set up mode in the app. Add your Echo device in the app by selecting it.
If you previously saved your Wi-Fi credentials on Amazon, then the app will automatically start searching for your Wi-Fi and connect it to the saved network. In case this is your first time setting up an Amazon Echo or you did not save your network on Amazon, it is slightly different. In this scenario, you will be presented with a list of visible Wi-Fi networks nearby and you should pick the preferred Wi-Fi connection. To complete the connection, enter the password.
Pro Tip: save the Wi-Fi credentials to make it easier to connect future devices.
It is also possible to connect your Amazon Echo with the Wi-Fi without the app.
After setting up the Wi-Fi, there are a few more options to consider.
This was an introduction into the first steps you undertake to set up your Amazon Alexa. Pairing your smart speaker with your Wi-Fi is the first step but it does not make the set up complete. There are more guided instructions on how to set up your Amazon Alexa with Music or Philips Hue.
