“Your switch isn’t responding. Please check its power and wifi connection.”<\/p>\n
ARRGGGHHHH!!!<\/p>\n
I spent month trying to resolve this. There is all kinds of voodoo on the web, but here’s what worked for me.<\/p>\n
First, try the easiest solution: simply say “Alexa, discover devices.” \u00a0That may fix it right away. (In fact, saying that every few months won’t hurt.) I’d also suggest it after you add or replace a device.<\/p>\n
Then, try (if possible) unplugging the unit, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in.<\/p>\n
If none of that works, consider a dip into your wifi settings.<\/p>\n
1) Find\u00a0the least used channel from 1, 6 and 11 in your 2.4 settings. Use that channel. \u00a0(6 is usually the most crowded, followed by 11 and 1, but you need to check actual conditions in your location.)<\/p>\n
2) Unless you need 2.4 N, reduce the bandwidth from 40 to 20.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
If that doesn’t work, then…<\/p>\n
3) make sure you are WPA2\/WPA3 PERSONAL for your login, and make sure you use the same password on all your bands.<\/p>\n
After making the changes, unplug \u00a0all your wifi plugs from the wall socket, \u00a0wait 10 seconds, and plug them back in again.<\/p>\n
