Alexa Echo Dot won't connect to Orbi WiFi
Just purchased Orbi Home Wifi AC300 Tri-Band RBR50 router plus one satellite and set it up last night fairly easily. I have verified that I have four computers, one tv, one Xbox, 3 iPhones, and one G...
UPDATE: It's been a couple of days since I set up the Orbi network. I tried to connect the Echo Dot again, just in case, and it worked like a champ. On the first try. My only guess is that Orbi finished doing some updates or something? But it's all fine now!
Was the Dot ever connected to any other network besides Orbi?

No, it wasn't. It came new with the Orbi router. So first I set up the router and then got around to trying the Echo Dot. So maybe the Dot is defective? I can take it to someone else's house and test it there. I'll try that.
