FYI -- there appears to be an issue with the latest firmware update to original Echo devices. Mine went belly up (red ring of death) overnight Tuesday into Wednesday -- wouldn't connect to WiFi, multiple soft resets, and I finally called Amazon CS this morning. After an hour on the phone with a very nice person in Jamaica (I timed it), and everything up to and including a factory reset, it's been passed to their technical department. At least one other MR member has also had their original Echo go belly up this week, which leads me to strongly suspect a failed firmware issue.
