Title: Automatically connect to mobile hotspot
Post by: ultimate350 on November 18, 2017, 06:14:16 am

Does anyone know if it’s possible to configure Alexa to automatically connect to my mobile hotspot? I don’t have internet at home, however I can setup my Echo Plus to connect to my phone just fine. But if I leave and come back, Alexa won’t reconnect to my hotspot; I have to go through the setup process all over again.

Is it possible you mean "leave, connect somewhere else, and then come back [to your hot spot]"?

I'm speculating as I haven't really tested Alexa's networking capabilities.  I anticipated using hot spots would work.  I'll bet Alexa was specifically not configured to store more than one network but again please note I'm speculating.

If you are saying you turn your device off, leave, and don't power up your device until you are again at your hot spot that would be a surprise to me unless your hot spot changes something about how it offers service.
