What to do if you have a problem with your Amazon Echo?
If you’re still experiencing problems, you can unpair and re-pair your Bluetooth devices. Open the Alexa app and hit Settings. Tap on your Echo device, select Bluetooth and Clear all paired devices. To re-pair the devices, say “Pair” around Alexa to place the Echo in discovery mode.
What should I do if my Alexa is not working?
If these solutions don’t solve the problem, try unplugging the Alexa device, rebooting the router, and reconnecting the device to the router. Connecting the Alexa device to the router’s 5GHz channel could result in better connectivity. Also, check the signal strength on the router to ensure a poor signal strength is not the problem.

Is the Amazon Echo compatible with other devices?
