    Troubleshooting Tips to Conquer Errors of Alexa, the Virtual Assistant

    Here are some tips and tricks by which you can experience more premium quality conversation with your virtual assistant. Go through these informative points to adapt an original way to use Amazon Alexa.

    • If your echo device keeps disconnecting, it should be because you are not using the original adapter that came with the echo device. Use the same power adapter for better performance.
    • Ensure that your Alexa device is receiving proper internet connections from your existing router.
    • If your Alexa device is not responding to your voice, check whether your device isn't muted. To do so, look at the sound's LED indicator. If it shows red light, then your device is muted. Unmute it to work.
    • Check your virtual assistant by pressing the action button. If the Alexa device responds, then your device is working perfectly fine.
    • Keep your Alexa echo device away from the concrete walls, as it results in blocking the internet connections physically.
    • Also, make sure that your Alexa device is away from room walls, and also there should be no background voices while using the Alexa device.
    • If your echo device is not understanding the words you say, repeat it, but this time more clear and natural.
    • Try saying "did you hear me" if your virtual assistant is not responding.
