Both my devices are not seeing the network at the moment, and this site is showing real time offline over a lot of America

Blimey. The Down Detector site has down reports coming in from All over America, New Zealand, South America, Canada, Israel, starting about 7:30pm. Imagine this happening when we use Alexa to control taxi drones?

'Alexa, change course and take me to the Viaduct.'

'I'm sorry, I am having trouble understanding right now.'

Simple one - have you rebooted your router?

I'm not having any issues with my Echo's. Alexa still doesn't understand my accent as usual.

Hi Michael. It came back on line at 7:55 our time, or thereabouts. Looks like a world wide event from the comment locations on Downtime.com
