Nighthawk X6 Can't Connect to Alexa
I'm trying to connect my shiny new Nighthawk to Alexa. Alexa keeps saying that she needs for the skill to be connected to Netgear. She sends a card referring me to netgear.com/alexa. My firmware is up to date (Version V1.0.2.10_10.0.29) The Netgear app is working just fine on my Android phone. The Amazon skill says that my Netgear account is linked. Step 1 of netgear.com/alexa advises us to enable remote access on your router using Genie. Is this my missing link? Using routerlogin.net (to access advanced settings), I interpret this as checking "Turn Remote Management On" in Advanced> Advance Setup > Remote Management. Is this correct? Did I miss something?Solved3.7KViews0likes2Comments
Amazon Alexa
When I connect my Netgear router to Amazon Alexa Wi-Fi, it tells me that the connection to Amazon-44P 2 has no security and would be easy for a hacker to get access. I have Bitdefender Anti-Virus software and it recommends that I use it's "hotspot" to connect. I activated the "hotspot" within Bitdefender and it shows as being active, but I cannot connect my Amazon Alexa to it. I try to connect it to my Netgear71 wi-fi and I still get warned about the no security. Is there a way I can get the Alexa connected to my Netgear wi-fi?Solved
