I think Siri has gotten pretty flaky.

Subject: RE: Alexa on wifi at different location
Thanks. I saw all that last night. Odd thing is that voice over never tells me
the same thing, either that or I hit on something different. Neither does my
old 6 say the same thing that my SE second generation says, both in the Alexa
App.
This morning, I coached someone sighted to simply get to the
place to plug in the new password since the network had already been selected.
Voila, and the second old phone also connected without me having to fuss around
in the Alexa App. I was on the right track.
I’m finding Siri somewhat unreliable, unless I want to blame it all on my human
error. I do not thinkit is all me!

You have to go into the Alexa app on your phone and hook the Alexa device up to
the Wi-Fi of your current/new location. The Alexa speaker connects to Wi-Fi
just like your iPhone or any other device by recognizing the Wi-Fi name and
then of course you have to provide the credentials, e.g. the password of the
Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.
To do this do the following:
1. Open the Amazon Alexa app on your iPhone
2. tap on the "Devices" tab at the bottom (it is 4 of 5, so second from the
right)
3. Tab on "Echo and Alexa", this is the first item in the list of available
device groups
4. Find the Echo device you want to change and double tap on it
5. Find Wi-Fi and tap on it
6. It will display the Wi-Fi name that was last used and it should say
"Change", this is a link, tap on it and follow the instructions to select a new
Wi-Fi and enter the password when prompted.

This may not be an appropriate question for this group. Just let me know if it
isn’t.
I brought an old screenless Echo Device to a place where I am
staying. I saw nowhere in the Alexa App to take it off-line in one place and
put it on another.
The only way it will talk to me is if I turn on Bluetooth. I’d rather hook it
up to the wifi where I am staying.
Amazon for customers with disabilities says my inquiry is not suitable for a
phone call but I am too tired now to struggle with this more now.
