Hey everyone! Here to help you unravel the technological web of Alexa and your Bose SoundLink speaker. I know how frustrating it can be when your devices forget to connect together. I have experienced it and searched a lot to connect Boss Soundlink with Alexa. This article is all about it!
Troubleshooting Steps
I was starting to get really frustrated. I thought I was going to have to buy a new speaker. But then, I decided to contact Amazon customer support. The Amazon customer support representative was really helpful. He walked me through a few troubleshooting steps, and eventually, we were able to get my Alexa and Bose speaker to connect again.
- Restart Your Devices
This is simple. Just unplug it from the power outlet for a few seconds and then plug it back in—that usually does the trick. Now, for your Bose SoundLink speaker, just give the power button a good press and hold it for a few seconds until the speaker powers off. After that, hit the power button again to turn it on. If it connects then it is fine and you can leave reading but if the issue is still there, keep on reading!
