Connect your Alexa device to a power outlet. Wait for the light ring to turn orange — this means it’s in setup mode.
2. Download the Alexa App
Install the Alexa app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) on your smartphone or tablet.

In the Alexa app, tap the “Devices” icon at the bottom right of the screen.
5. Tap the “+” Button
Tap the “+” icon in the top right corner and choose “Add Device.”
6. Select Device Type
Select the type of device you’re setting up (e.g., Alexa Echo, Echo Dot, etc.).
7. Put Device in Setup Mode (if needed)
If your device isn’t in setup mode (orange ring), press and hold the Action button (circle) on the device for about 5-10 seconds.
8. Connect to Device’s Wi-Fi
The app will ask you to go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and connect to the Alexa-XXX network.
9. Select Your Home Wi-Fi
After connecting to the Alexa hotspot, return to the app and select your home Wi-Fi network, then enter your password.
10. Finish Setup
Alexa will connect to Wi-Fi and complete setup. Once it says “Your device is ready”, you can start using voice commands like:
“Alexa, what’s the weather?”
