Siegard! How do I reboot my router as you suggested? I thought that I had,
already, downloaded the
Google Assistant app as I know that I have used OK Google in the past, but I
don't see G A in my app
store so that, I guess, means that I haven't got it!

Hi Jewel,
While I just posted a message criticising SIRI as well I must say that it is
not SIRI's fault if it
can't properly connect to the internet. Have you rebooted your router to see if
that helps?
Also, the only way to use Google and SIRI is to have the Google app installed
and set up to accept
"OK Google" as a command to bring up the Google Assistant and then to use SIRI
to say "hey SIRI,
open Google". Then once the Google app is open you can say "OK Google" followed
by your question.
Regards,
Sieghard

Oh! if it were only that simple.
Ever since I updated to IOS11.3 I have had problems with Siri. I wake him up
and ask my question.
There is a complete silence and then, he will say: "I am having trouble making
a wi-fi connection.
Try again in a moment or two!" which I do; sometimes, it has the desired
effect, sometimes not!
Is there a setting which I should adjust?
As an alternative to Siri, I used to be able to bring up "Google assist" and
"OK Google" but, I
cannot do that any longer. I assume that they are still available and is,
simply, that I have
forgotten how I did it!
