If you're trying to change your internet on Alexa, you'll first need to troubleshoot any connectivity issues that might be preventing you from making the change.

Check your internet connection to be sure it's working properly, as Alexa can't function without a stable internet connection.

If your internet connection is fine, the problem might be with your hardware, such as your modem or wireless router. Try manually restarting both devices and wait five minutes before reconnecting Alexa to Wi-Fi.

If restarting your hardware doesn't work, try restarting your Alexa-enabled device by powering it off or unplugging it, then turning it back on and reconnecting to Wi-Fi.

It's also possible that the issue is with your Wi-Fi password. Confirm that the password is correct by trying to connect another device to your Wi-Fi network using the same password.

If you're still having trouble, try moving your Alexa-enabled device closer to your wireless router, as Wi-Fi signals can degrade over long distances. Consider investing in a mesh network system if this solves the problem.

As a last resort, you can try resetting your Alexa device to its factory settings. This will erase all your settings and you'll need to set up your device again.
