Hi guys I recently changed my password on sky hub so have spent quite a while redoing all my Wifi devises which I’ve now done .....the only thing I can’t get to work is my Alexa talking to my Bravia a1 65 ....I’ve read a few reviews but no good ....I go into my apps scroll down to connect Alexa with tv ....it says it’s loading then I get a error prompt and Alexa tells me check network etc ....I’ve checked google and connected ok And even changed the password ...and in my Alexa. App devises it says it’s enabled ...any ideas ? Thanks in advance
Hi @miblogg39,
I’m not all that familiar with Amazon products but I had a similar scenario to yours with a different customer having the same issues with Google Home connectivity and Chromecast.
Can you tell us which one of the Alexa Echo devices is this about?
Cheers,

Could you please elaborate on this?
Are you referring to a general no connection issue or something like the problems described in the links below:
Turn on TV with google assistent
Android TV, Google Home, and Netflix: FIXED!
Thanks.

Hi @zer0ner0,
I refer to changing the WiFi router password, then loosing connectivity on the Chromecast device. As then there is nothing that can be done on the Google Home app to reestablish the connection. So the exact scenario as @miblogg39 describes, with the difference of it being about Google products instead of Amazon products.

Okay I see. Make sure that the TV has proper connectivity with the internet since you have changed your WiFi password. Then try this first:
As usual keep us posted please.

Hi there , I done exactly what you said still the same the load wheel goes around about 2 mins then comes up error ....anything else I can try ? Many thanks
Thanks for getting back to us. I forgot to ask you if you see at the moment the TV under devices in your iOS or Android Alexa app? All of your registered Alexa devices are listed in the Alexa app for iOS or Android, as well as the web portal at alexa.amazon.com. I believe the best solution is to deregister the TV and reauthorise it again.
To deregister one of the devices:
If you can't find the TV listed in there, then try the deregisteration method for other type of Alexa devices:
As always keep us posted with your results!

Unfortunately not don’t no why before I changed password on my router it worked ... don’t get it 🤔
So just to clarify. Is your TV now out from the list of devices in your Alexa mobile app and the web? That is what we are loking for. Next you should be able to delete the cache and data from the Alexa Control app on the TV according to my previous instructions and start connecting the TV as the usual manner again.
If you have trouble getting it done, then try making a new Amazon account and connecting the TV to that new account. Just to test. If that doesn't work either, then you must perform a Factory Data Reset on the TV then start connecting the TV to your original Amazon account. You can find instructions on how to perform a Factory Data Reset on your TV on this article.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that if you perform a factory reset, all of the TV's data and settings (Wi-Fi and wired network setting information, Google account and other login information, Google Play and other installed applications, etc.) will be erased, and the TV will return to how it was at the time of purchase.
