Ten years ago Alexa was just an average female name. Today, however, it’s an electronic staple in homes across the globe. For many people, Alexa was their introduction into the world of AI technology and home automation. Today, Alexa technology is capable of making to-do lists, podcast and music playback, controlling other Alexa compatible devices, and more, all using voice control. 
On the surface level, Alexa seems like the perfect assistant, making daily routines that much easier. All someone has to say is, “Alexa! Play my wake up playlist” or “Read my To-Do list” and she will oblige. But what happens when Alexa has trouble connecting to the internet or she loses connection with your streaming services? Next thing you know, you’re left without your oh so perfect assistant and are stuck with the frustration of figuring out the issues, which can be time consuming. Here are a few common problems people run into with Alexa technology:
- Issues finding and staying connected to other smart devices
- Loses connection to wifi (Even when the network is still running)
- Doesn’t respond to voice commands or responds when not prompted
- Won’t respond to commands worded exactly right (e.g. you say “what do i need to do today?” but she needs you to say “Play my To-Do list”)
- Won’t connect to all technology
