Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up a speaker grouping with two Echo Links, but I’m running into some connectivity issues. Let me share my experience and see if anyone has insights or solutions.
I have two Echo Links connected to the same WiFi network, but through two different SSIDs. Echolink 1 is connected via SSID #1, while Echolink 2 is connected via SSID #2. When I try to group them together, Echolink 1 under SSID #1 connects intermittently and then drops out completely, while Echolink 2 under SSID #2 works perfectly. I’ve tried swapping the Echo Links and even using an Ethernet connection for the one under SSID #1, but the issue persists.
I suspect that Alexa sees the two SSIDs as separate networks, which might violate the ‘all on the same network’ requirement for speaker grouping. However, I can’t find any official documentation confirming this. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround?
I’m curious to know if there’s a way to make Alexa recognize both SSIDs as part of the same network or if there’s a different approach to grouping Echo Links from separate SSIDs. Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, and thanks for your help!
