I recently purchased an Alexa-enabled device and would like to connect it to the internet so I can use its features such as voice commands, music streaming, and smart home controls. I am looking for simple step-by-step instructions to connect Alexa to a Wi-Fi network and troubleshoot any common connection issues.

I use Google Assistant on my phone and would like to enable Dark Mode for a more comfortable viewing experience, especially at night. I am looking for simple step-by-step instructions on how to turn on Dark Mode in Google Assistant and any settings that may affect its appearance.
To connect Alexa to the internet, it’s actually pretty simple.
First, make sure your Wi-Fi is working on your phone.
Then open the Alexa app and sign in with your Amazon account.
In the app, go to Devices, select your Alexa device, and choose Wi-Fi settings.
Put your Alexa in setup mode (usually by holding the action button until the light turns orange).
Now pick your home Wi-Fi network, enter the password, and wait a few seconds.
Once it connects, Alexa will say it’s online and ready to use.
If it doesn’t connect, usually it’s just the wrong Wi-Fi password or weak signal.
