How to Find Echo Spot IP Address

In this post, we run through how to find Echo Spot IP address, using the Spot’s touchscreen, and navigating through its menu options. Since the Echo Spot allows access to this information on its own screen, you need consult neither your router nor the Alexa app to map the MAC ID to an IP address. The Spot already does this and displays it when you go to the right settings page.

Now why would you ever need the Echo Spot IP address? Perhaps, to check that the speaker is linked properly to your wireless network. Knowing that the Amazon Spot has an IP address is a valuable troubleshooting clue. It helps in debugging Echo connectivity issues between your speaker and Amazon servers. If your Spot has no IP, you won’t be able use it to play videos, see news, turn smart lamps on and off, or anything else that the Echo Spot normally does.

Further, You can locate the Alexa device’s MAC ID (hardware address) as well, using this same method. How? The MAC ID is listed in the Alexa app on the device’s About page. In fact, we need the MAC address first, and then that we’ll use to find the device’s current IP address. Note that fortunately, registering your Alexa device does not require its MAC address. Unfortunately however, as of this writing, the Alexa app does not show the IP address of its connected speakers. Thus, we must perform the added step of looking up the IP address associated with the device’s hardware address on the router.
