    No matter what you want, a recipe of Sourdough, the most nearby Chinese restaurant, or the biggest hit song on the Billboard, just yell to Amazon Echo, it got you. All you need to do is to connect it to the network, then it\u2019ll be able to help you with anything. This is the vast majority of Amazon Echo\u2019s features other than a speaker -- Alexa, the virtual assistant as a bridge between you and everything.

    Let\u2019s see how to connect Amazon Echo to the network in simple steps. Before everything else, you should set up your Amazon Echo and download Alexa APP.<\/p>\n

    1.Open Alexa APP, log in with your account or sign up if you don\u2019t have one. You will need an Amazon account to use Alexa with Echo. Click the hamburger menu at the bottom right and select \u201cAdd a Device\u201d. Then you\u2019ll see all the Alexa-supported devices on your account. Tap \u201cAmazon Echo\u201d to proceed to the next screen, and tap the Echo model you want to set up.<\/p>\n

    2.Now you\u2019ve entered setup mode, the Echo\u2019s light ring will be flashing blue then orange. If you can\u2019t see orange, you can try to press and hold the Action button for at least five seconds then Alexa will say \u201cNow in setup mode.\u201d<\/p>\n

    3.Alexa APP will be prompted to close and open your phone\u2019s Wi-Fi Settings. Look for a network that is Amazon-named and connect it to your phone or device. You\u2019ll return to Alexa APP to continue.<\/p>\n

Now all the information has been sent to the device, Alexa will tell you \u201cYour Echo is ready.\u201d with orange lights went out. And you are good to go.<\/p>\n

    Why Amazon Echo Keeps Losing Connection? <\/h2>\n

    Generally, Amazon Echo performs pretty well with constantly new skills added or third-party integration with some other smart devices. The Echo with Alexa is truly a staple in smart home appliances. Even so, Echo is not picture-perfect. Occasionally, Alexa can hear you but not the other way around. It\u2019s not a volume issue, but more a problem that Echo is cutting out or not communicating with the other devices. You might find it skipping words when playing music, or Echo would continue to cut out and sometimes Alexa skips the entire response. <\/p>\n

    So, what\u2019s going on? There are a few possible reasons when your Echo lost connection. Above all, the Wi-Fi issue is the first one that needs to be tackled. Your modem and router should be the first thing to investigate. Other than that, the position of the Echo and your network could affect the connection as well. The electronic devices could also interfere with Wi-Fi connection significantly, hence the signal cannot be spread properly between source and Echo. So, keeping them close together on an elevated spot would be perfect. Sometimes Amazon Echo loses connection because of Wi-Fi overcrowding. When the network is connected with a multitude of smart devices, there is no spare bandwidth. Finally, check out the Wi-Fi frequency, because the wrong channel can break the connection from time to time.<\/p>\n

    How to Solve the Issue of Amazon Echo Keeps Losing Connection? <\/h2>\n

    So we google and research a bit on \u201cAmazon Echo lost connection\u201d and come up with the following tips that could possibly help you with the issue. <\/p>\n

    1. Reboot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Just as any smart device or gadget. While it\u2019s not working as it should be, cut the power and try again. This goes with Amazon echo as well. Amazon support suggests that you may unplug the power adapter of Echo and perform a power cycle on the modem and router. Once they are back on power, switch on the Echo again. Then stream some audio and interact with it for a few minutes to see if it works.<\/p>\n

    2. Reposition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Your Echo and router should be both located centrally in your house. Meanwhile, try to avoid interference. Position them from the other electronic devices. Also, place both of them higher in the room as routers tend to spread the signal downward. So the higher the better. Bringing them close to each other will also strengthen the connection, and Echo has more accessibility within the reach of the signal. Amazon also suggests that it\u2019s better to move Echo away from walls and metal objects, and place it at least 8 inches from the wall or any potential obstructions.<\/p>\n

    3. Switch Channel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    If you have a dual-band router, try to connect your Echo to 5GHz. It\u2019s likely to decrease the interference and increase the connection. This might work if you are not able to move your Echo and router around.<\/p>\n

    4. Reset<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    A factory reset is not an ideal solution because there\u2019s no way you can diagnose the issue but just to start with a clean slate. But it might be helpful if the previous solutions can\u2019t work. Remember you have to set up the device again from the beginning. <\/p>\n

    5. Contact Amazon or ISP<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    If none of these tips seem to do the trick, it could be a more complicated issue with hardware or internet service providers (ISP). Try contacting ISP first to make sure your network is properly working well and if that doesn't help, as a last resort, speak to Amazon customer service. They should be able to help you with the connection issue.<\/p>\n
