Follow these steps to set up your 2nd generation Amazon Echo device to connect to wireless at UCSD.

Before you begin, you must have:

• An Active Directory (AD) username and password. Your username is usually the first part of your UCSD e-mail address (before the @ symbol). If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it.
• A 2nd Gen. Amazon Echo.

1. Download app and register device

1. Download the Alexa app in one of two ways: 
   
   • Download the free Alexa app from the app store on your mobile device. The Alexa app is available on phones and tablets with:
     
     • Fire OS 3.0 or higher
     • Android 5.0 or higher
     • iOS 9.0 or higher
   • You may also use your Wi-Fi enabled computer to sign in to https://alexa.amazon.com. This page is compatible with:
     
     • Safari
     • Chrome
     • Firefox
     • Microsoft Edge
     • Internet Explorer (10 or higher)
2. Register your device with the UC San Diego hostmaster.
   
   • Complete the registration page
     
     • Check the box that says: My device is UNABLE to use WPA-E/802.1x.
     • To find your MAC address information:
       
       1. Open the Alexa app menu
       2. Go to Settings
       3. Select your device
       4. Scroll down to see the MAC address section
   • Click Submit.
3. Recieve your PSK key.
   If the device qualifies, you will receive an e-mail confirmation containing a special PSK key to connect to the UCSD-DEVICE wireless network.
   Note: Do not share the key with others. The key will only work for approved, registered machines.

2. Connect to the UCSD-DEVICE wireless network

1. Plug your Echo device into a power outlet.
2. Open the Alexa app.
3. In the Alexa app, open the Menu and then select Settings.
4. Select your device and then select Update Wi-Fi. 
   
   • If you're adding a new device to your account, select Set up a new device instead. 
5. On your Echo device, press and hold the Action button until the light ring changes to orange. Your mobile device will connect to your Echo and a list of available Wi-Fi networks will appear in the app. 
   
   • Note: The Alexa app may ask you to manually connect your device to your Echo device through your Wi-Fi settings. 
6. Select the UCSD-DEVICE network and enter your special PSK Key. If you don't see this Wi-Fi network, scroll down and select Add a Network (for hidden networks) or Rescan.
   
   • Optional - Save your Wi-Fi password to Amazon: Any Wi-Fi passwords saved during setup automatically appear when you connect a new Alexa device to the same Wi-Fi network. The password is also remembered if you switch between saved Wi-Fi networks. For more information, see Saving Your Wi-Fi Passwords to Amazon.
7. Select Connect. Once connected, a confirmation message appears in the app. You are now ready to use Alexa.
