Echo Show is Amazon’s latest assistant gadget. This time, Alexa has a screen so she can play videos, show you your events, and let you see search results instead of reading them out loud. The voice assistant seems a little inconsistent at first, but the Echo Show has a few advantages over its tubular counterpart. Here’s how to do it.
To set up an echo show, plug in the power cable that comes with the package and connect it to the show. After a while, it will boot up and ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Select your network from the list.
Use the split screen keyboard to enter your Wi-Fi password. The keyboard is designed so that you can take the show with both hands and type with your thumbs. While this can be a little awkward depending on the size of your hands, it’s easier than hunting and pecking.
You will then need to enter your Amazon email address and password using the on-screen keyboard.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled (and you should), you will need to enter a six-digit code generated by your authentication app.
