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 GE wall oven connected to the network. I bought Orbi on Amazon and they threw in an Echo Dot for free. I tried to set it up and it won't connect to the network. I have tried 10 times or so with the same error - Cannot Connect. I reset the router and have tried moving the Echo Dot closer and then further away from the satellite.
I set up a guest network and tried to connect the Echo Dot to that. I still can't connect it.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

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.
