Alexa Plugs
Think today is my day for probing techie issues. I renewed my broadband contract recently and have been supplied with a new router - and a new password.My Alexa works and Echo Dot works too after I put the new password into the app on my phone. But how to I get the plugs to work?

Reinstall any plugs, with yoiur new info, and all should be OK.
There might be a button, on your plugs, which you have to press to make it happen. Still got the Plug installation instructions?

Hmm, I need to get my tech head on soon too. Our internet has been going in and out this morning, probably a problem with the router. Also I need to sort out my echo auto or whatever it's called - the Alexa for my car, which I got for Christmas. (Yes I know, it's already February and I haven't installed it. Scared it'll be tricky
)
