LOG IN TO THE ALEXA APP
Install and open the Amazon Alexa app on your preferred device (mobile or desktop).
Log in with your Amazon account.
Plug your Echo into a power outlet. In about a minute, Echo will tell you that it is ready and the light ring will turn orange. You may need to press and hold the round action button for 15 seconds for it to turn orange. Once it does, hit Continue.
Confirm the light is orange and hit Yes in the app.
If prompted to allow suggested WiFi networks, hit Allow.
When prompted to "Connect to device?" hit Connect.
The app will search for Wifi
Now select the option which states to "Add new Network".
For the Wifi Network Name, enter AccessOU exactly. Please put the A, O and U in uppercase as the SSID is case sensitive. There is no password requirement, so for Security Type, select None.
Press “Connect”. The device will now set up the connection.
If the LED Ring is still showing Orange, the Alexa app will tell you it was unable to connect to WiFi. Unplug the Echo and plug it in again. After rebooting, it should connect to WiFi and the Alexa app will tell you it is ready to use.
