The Amazon Echo Dot is the perfect addition to any home, combining a compact design with impressive sound quality and Alexa’s endless capabilities. Whether it’s for music, smart home control, or quick voice commands, this little speaker delivers big results.The sound is surprisingly vibrant and clear for such a small speaker. The bass is punchy, vocals are crisp, and it easily fills a bedroom, dining room, or small living space. It’s perfect for streaming playlists, podcasts, or even ambient sounds for relaxation.Alexa works flawlessly with this device. From controlling my smart lights and thermostat to setting timers, alarms, and reminders, the Echo Dot has quickly become part of my daily routine. It’s also great for quick weather updates, news, and fun trivia with Alexa’s skills.The sleek, modern design fits beautifully in any room. It’s compact enough to sit on a nightstand, kitchen counter, or shelf without taking up much space. The built-in LED display on some models is a bonus for showing the time or alarms.It seamlessly connects to other smart home devices, making it a hub for my smart lights, plugs, and speakers. Multi-room audio is a game-changer when paired with other Echo devices – I can play music throughout the house with a simple voice command.

Multi-Music Player mystery solved, how to select more than one echo if you cannot
Alexa Echo SpeakersMulti-room Music issuesI found a solution to not being able to get more than one speaker to work at a time, paired, or set up a “Multi-Room Music” in the Alexa app. This solution also fixed my inability to get Apple enabled devices connected into HomeKit, or even Google Nest Hubs to set up, period.Quick answer: Deselect “Enable Wireless Isolation” when activating your 2.4 Wi-Fi broadcast on your router.I also took all speakers off guest wifi. But I’ll try to put them back to see if that is necessary now.Back story: Months of issues with HomeKit, (only weeks with Echo Multi-Room Music), I gave up trying and decided to try Alexa and Google to replace my Apple smart home efforts. I spent way too much time. After the fix, I’ll live a blended tech life. I’ll give a quick answer, followed by my backstory: Last week I was at my wits end in utter frustration over three major roadblocks. I acquiesced and decided to try Alexa because I couldn’t get almost any of my Apple HomeKit enabled devices into HomeKit, except for new Apple products. I knew it had to be something small I was missing. Alexa was sooooo easy and quick to connect to everything, before I figured out the fix. (I dislike the echo show advertising, their echo speakers are better.) While they seemed a breeze to connect everything, for some reason I couldn’t get more than one echo speaker to work at a time. I was continually blocked from setting up Multi-Room Music or even connect a pair to play together. Hundreds of tries. I deleted, reset, rebooted, spent over 4 hours with Comcast yesterday (thankfully a Boston native who did not put me on hold every minute like certain countries) getting my internet working again. I had rebooted my modem and router so many times, my computer got molasses slow and I feared I went too farIn interest I also decided to try a few Google nest hub speakers. Black Friday had great sales on all this stuff. Trying to set up googles hub 7 was impossible. It wouldn’t stay connected to the internet for more than a split second before “Something went wrong” message. Probably over 70 tries. (Google is better than Echo Show. Apple HomePod mini sounds crisper and better than Amazon echo 4 and mini 5’s. But Alexa is way friendlier to interact with verbally, and price point, well…)Frustration. Thursday, I broke down and bought my first Apple Homepod Mini to see if I can get that working and see if it works better than the Apple TV 4k Ethernet connection. The HomePod mini gave me a hint how to solve all these l connection and internet blocks. The HomePod mini kept telling me that I don’t have “peer-to-peer connection” allowed on my network.Now, I’m a little techy, but it took three days (ehem, months) to finally take a chance on a for granted setting I always enable on my netgear router. It’s the blasted first Wireless page when enabling a wifi broadcast.I had to deselect “Enable Wireless Isolation.”That was it. It solved every issue I have come across with smart home tech for the last 4 months, ..year.For the months that I could not solve these problems, Amazons Multi-Player Music issue made me dig deeper. I did not find anyone suggesting this particular router setting, so I thought I’d share with ppl. Tonight, I finally am able to simultaneously play music on all of my Echo speakers, connect my HomeKit enabled and Google nest hubs.I’m not sure what this will do for my/your internet security. But I’m going with it for now. And I’ll try to put all devices back onto guest Wi-Fi. I’ll never really leave Apple, but after interacting with other smart speakers, it’s probably not going to be my main go to for speaker or answers to questions. Or I’ll just get too creeped out by Google and Amazon invasiveness and acquiesce with Apple instead. Echo Dot 5 (this is such a sprite, great speaker!)Echo 4are my favorite for Amazon EchoEcho Studioseems the least smart, most deaf, quiet, combative, difficult to interact with, of the three speakers. Hopefully the Multi-Room music fix will improve my experience with itEcho Show 8Meh. Far too much and annoying advertising of non-solicited or wanted advertisements. Least user friendly screen to work with. It sits unplugged for the most part. I mostly got this for a friend who visits who wants a YouTube fireplace playing on the tv.SIDE NOTE on other Smart Home Amazon (online, or physical store) products, related to this topic:I have been pleased with Smartbot plugs, switches and app, the Levoit 600s air purifiers and app (app goes by VeSync), and Lutron Caséta Light Switches and Dimmers, and hub. Lutron has the most stable and reliable app out there. I was fine running their apps separately. They are very nice, better than the big 3 apps. Well, back to listening to music throughout my house instead of one or two rooms. Joy!

Echo Dot works great!
This 5th Gen Echo Dot has surpassed my expectations! I have had this one for a year now. The sound quality for listening to music is very good. I don’t need to turn on my larger wireless speaker I always used before this purchase; the Echo audio is preferable. As far as everything else, it works as expected, timers, questions, notifications, etc. Very easy to connect also. The Glacier White color is unobtrusive in the living room unlike our old black one. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised because the price was so reasonable.

Love the device, aesthetics are a bit off though
Great price, easy setup, pairs nicely with the sub add on… All except it’s lack of multipoint Bluetooth, which I assume is how it connects to the sub. Sensitive enough to hear me from farther away than expected, especially around the corner of the doorway that it sits next to, I can call out from the other side of the wall around the corner through the doorway and it picks up and responds. I did activate the beep feature to confirm since I was hoping for that, and it works! At least in my floor plan it does, can’t speak for other designs. I’m sure the hard wood flooring has a bit to do with it, if you have softer things around like carpet it probably wouldn’t work as well….and a white power cord on a black device? I mean really? Did someone not think that one through, or was it just a cheaper option than black? Idk but it’s just aesthetics, that and the sub not working when streaming Bluetooth content, why I gave 4 of 5.

The latest Amazon Echo Dot is another wonderful music device
Unfortunately one of my larger Alexa devices pooped out and quit working at the same time these echo dots were on sale. I love listening to music and this device works well. I basically have one of these devices in each room of the house. Talk about great value – they were half price. I can ask the device to set an alarm for me when needed. I can ask it questions and it works the same as the old Alexa. The design is striking – small circle, flat bottom, attractive colors that go with any environment. The sound is incredible! The echo dot takes up such a small space and has such a big sound. This is a great bargain in my opinion! It is a remarkable device!
