Good smart speaker and mesh Wi-Fi extender
Great speaker, good sound, especially when paired with another one and a sub woofer. This is my first foray into smart speakers, and so far so good. Easy to setup and use. I got these mainly because I got an eero router, and these could act as end points for the mesh Wi-Fi system I wanted.
I will say that the Amazon services integration for the most part is good. But I don’t like the fact that AMZN seems to try and nickle and dime you for everything. I got a blink camera with one of my dots and it is essentially useless because I can’t hook it up to my personal cloud – or at least I can’t do it easily. Same thing with my garage door opener and its camera. Unless I upgrade to a cloud storage service offered by AMZN or the device, the integration between those devices is pretty worthless.
But I didn’t get them for that, hence the ratings. If I had gotten them for those things, then the rating would be lower. For now, I’ll just do it the old fashioned way.

Multi-Music Player mystery solved, how to select more than one echo if you cannot
Alexa Echo Speakers
Multi-room Music issues
I found a solution to not being able to get more than one speaker to work at a time, paired, or set up a âMulti-Room Musicâ in the Alexa app. This solution also fixed my inability to get Apple enabled devices connected into HomeKit, or even Google Nest Hubs to set up, period.
Quick answer:Â
Deselect âEnable Wireless Isolationâ when activating your 2.4 Wi-Fi broadcast on your router.
I also took all speakers off guest wifi. But Iâll try to put them back to see if that is necessary now.
Back story:Â
Months of issues with HomeKit, (only weeks with Echo Multi-Room Music), I gave up trying and decided to try Alexa and Google to replace my Apple smart home efforts. I spent way too much time. After the fix, Iâll live a blended tech life. Iâll give a quick answer, followed by my backstory:Â
Last week I was at my wits end in utter frustration over three major roadblocks. I acquiesced and decided to try Alexa because I couldnât get almost any of my Apple HomeKit enabled devices into HomeKit, except for new Apple products.Â
I knew it had to be something small I was missing.Â
Alexa was sooooo easy and quick to connect to everything, before I figured out the fix. (I dislike the echo show advertising, their echo speakers are better.) While they seemed a breeze to connect everything, for some reason I couldnât get more than one echo speaker to work at a time. I was continually blocked from setting up Multi-Room Music or even connect a pair to play together. Â
Hundreds of tries. I deleted, reset, rebooted, spent over 4 hours with Comcast yesterday (thankfully a Boston native who did not put me on hold every minute like certain countries) getting my internet working again. I had rebooted my modem and router so many times, my computer got molasses slow and I feared I went too far
In interest I also decided to try a few Google nest hub speakers. Black Friday had great sales on all this stuff. Trying to set up googles hub 7 was impossible. It wouldnât stay connected to the internet for more than a split second before âSomething went wrongâ message. Probably over 70 tries. (Google is better than Echo Show. Apple HomePod mini sounds crisper and better than Amazon echo 4 and mini 5âs. But Alexa is way friendlier to interact with verbally, and price point, well…)
Frustration. Thursday, I broke down and bought my first Apple Homepod Mini to see if I can get that working and see if it works better than the Apple TV 4k Ethernet connection. The HomePod mini gave me a hint how to solve all these l connection and internet blocks.Â
The HomePod mini kept telling me that I donât have âpeer-to-peer connectionâ allowed on my network.
Now, Iâm a little techy, but it took three days (ehem, months) to finally take a chance on a for granted setting I always enable on my netgear router. Itâs the blasted first Wireless page when enabling a wifi broadcast.
I had to deselect âEnable Wireless Isolation.â
That was it. It solved every issue I have come across with smart home tech for the last 4 months, ..year.
For the months that I could not solve these problems, Amazons Multi-Player Music issue made me dig deeper. I did not find anyone suggesting this particular router setting, so I thought Iâd share with ppl.Â
Tonight, I finally am able to simultaneously play music on all of my Echo speakers, connect my HomeKit enabled and Google nest hubs.
Iâm not sure what this will do for my/your internet security. But Iâm going with it for now. And Iâll try to put all devices back onto guest Wi-Fi. Iâll never really leave Apple, but after interacting with other smart speakers, itâs probably not going to be my main go to for speaker or answers to questions. Or Iâll just get too creeped out by Google and Amazon invasiveness and acquiesce with Apple instead.Â
Echo Dot 5 (this is such a sprite, great speaker!)
Echo 4
are my favorite for Amazon Echo
Echo Studio
seems the least smart, most deaf, quiet, combative, difficult to interact with, of the three speakers. Hopefully the Multi-Room music fix will improve my experience with it
Echo Show 8
Meh. Far too much and annoying advertising of non-solicited or wanted advertisements. Least user friendly screen to work with. It sits unplugged for the most part. I mostly got this for a friend who visits who wants a YouTube fireplace playing on the tv.
SIDE NOTE on other Smart Home Amazon (online, or physical store) products, related to this topic:
I have been pleased with Smartbot plugs, switches and app, the Levoit 600s air purifiers and app (app goes by VeSync), and Lutron Caséta Light Switches and Dimmers, and hub. Lutron has the most stable and reliable app out there. I was fine running their apps separately. They are very nice, better than the big 3 apps. Well, back to listening to music throughout my house instead of one or two rooms. Joy!
