Wow, I really expected to see this forum on fire! Started to ask this question on the S7 forum since I'm using Foxfi on my S7 but thought I'd look for an Echo forum first...

I got one Dot more than I needed for Christmas. Had it packaged and ready to send back to Amazon. Decided today to keep it and make it a "floating" Dot...this is Dot #3. A "floating" Dot will be moved wherever it's needed. The car, office, den, patio, etc.

Earlier today I connected it in the car. We have 2 110 outlets. I installed FoxFi on my phone as a wifi hotspot. I've used FoxFi in the past to connect my tablet to wifi via my cell phone when we go on trips. I couldn't get it to work with Alexa. It couldn't find the wifi connection on my phone. Has anyone here sucessfully connected an Echo with Foxfi?

Thanks
