The most simple troubleshooting step to fix device malfunctioning is; restart the device.  Most of the time only a simple restart works to fix the issue.

Place Alexa Device Closer To Router

If your WiFi connectivity is poor, you can also use the wireless extender to extend or repeat the WiFi signals throughout the home for seamless connectivity. 

 

Check WiFi Connectivity 

 If your WiFi is down, your Alexa device will appear offline. So,  you need to check your router and make sure that it is functioning properly. Check the LED present on your router,  if the LED is green then your router is working fine, but if it is red, then something is wrong with the router.  You can reboot the router and restart the modem to get your WiFi back to its proper functioning. 

 

Make Sure that your Alexa device and App Connected To the Same WiFi Network 

 If your Alexa device and the application is connected to a different Wi-Fi network, your device will not respond to the voice commands and appears offline. So, make sure that you connect the app and Alexa device to the same wireless network. 

 

Update the Alexa Device 

The outdated version of Alexa could also be the reason that your device is appearing offline.  Update your Alexa device to its latest version available.  To manually update Alexa, you can check for the software updates. You can also refer to the user manual to complete the task. 

 

Update Alexa app

To reset the device, you can refer to the user manual. Once reset, you can register the device again, connect it, and use it without trouble.
