Set up Amazon Echo (Alexa) from an ethernet-connected desktop PC
Hello,

How do you set up Amazon Echo (Alexa) from an ethernet-connected desktop PC?

I'm trying to set up a new Amazon Echo with the Alexa web app but I'm not sure what to do next.  I'm running Windows 10 on a Desktop PC with an ethernet connection to the Internet.  I do not have a mobile phone but I do have a Wi-Fi signal which I use with my laptop.

The Amazon Echo  instructions refer to downloading the Alexa app but also have a link for browsers: http://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#welcome. Following those steps led me to this screen:

But how do you get to Wi-Fi settings on a hardwire-connected desktop PC?  Here's where I went:

Am I even in the right neighborhood?

I'd like to ask Alexa how to do this but… :P

Thanks

Edit: Right now the Echo light ring is flashing purple.  Also, I do have a password for connecting to the Wi-Fi but I have not seen a screen which asks for it.

Good suggestion Davis.  I don't know why it's so hard to access Wi-Fi info via a desktop PC but using the laptop did the trick.  Thanks

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
