Living with Alexa

I just bought an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) and am trying to set it up properly.

To do this you need set up another Alexa-enabled device - in my case, the WiFi settings on my Fire tablet. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this. It seems to be working fine without going through this.

If I had done things, I would just have opened a tab in my Chrome browser, and done everything for my Echo Dot there. But they did not consult me about this.

What's the bottom line here? I can't say I was cheated when I bought this - but I was definitely mislead, in a complicated way.

I still prefer to use my keyboard to type my questions into Windows 10.
