A few months back there was a discussion about Echo devices. I did get an Echo Dot for the wife to try and vocally control our DirecTV box. But shes not into it and only uses it for spelling and stuff. Then recently I got an offer for a free Dot. I got it and put it into my office. They both work fine. And then my evening TV viewing went to hell. I watch Alias, Justified, Miamai Vice and stuff off the internet. But now I get continuous freezing. Then a couple of days ago I saw the lights on the router continously flashing. The router was being hammered. The lights on the modem box were not blinking so the internet was not being accessed. Just the router. Out of curiosity I unplugged one of the Dots. The lights stopped flashing. Plugged it back in and lights started flashng again. So I unplugged it and tried viewing off the internet. Back to a normal picture. So now I unplug my Dot in the evening and plug it back in in the morning. This only happens when both Dots are plugged in. I tried to get any answer on a forum to no avail.

I thought there was a way to highlight a string and then click a button saying its a URL???? NO???
So anyway I thought I'd ask any Echo users here.
Wow. Watched three of them!!!!
If/when the PC cops come to take you away after listening to your offensive un-PC conversations-I promise I’ll get a collection started for your bail money.../S
I have fixed my problems with a Dot a few times by unplugging for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. Only 3 times in past year.
It was downloading videos of you naked to Porntube.
