Alexa, use of Amazon music & afffect on other WiFi devices [closed]
I’m thinking about getting Alexa to play Amazon music while I work at my office. I’ve got cable WiFi,& 2 staffers. We all use laptops & May have 2-3 programs each running at the same time. Will Alexa slow down my WiFi used for computer work?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Sorry to say this question is not what this site is about. You are asking an opinion or shopping advice. Regarding “slow things down” just think about what Alexa is: A popular device installed in thousands (millions?) of homes without anyone complaining about performance on their network. So do you think that you in your specific situation will suddenly have an unusable network after installing an Alexa?

At the end of the day it's a computer/tablet/smartphone, etc., etc. like any others. It uses bandwidth like any other.

@GabrielaGarcia - While it is an electronic device, it does not really fall within the scope of devices, that are described in the help center.

@Ramhound I wasn't suggesting it's on-topic. I understand it isn't. The comment was for the OP to understand that makes no sense worrying about Alexa and ignoring all the other devices in the same network that are likely to use a lot more bandwidth. Sounds like that horrible person "Food Babe" making a fuss about the 3 molecules of a potential carcinogen that may be present in some foods while at the same consuming copious amounts of wine, a known carcinogen. ;)

An audio stream is low bandwidth by today's standards. It's well under 1 megabit/sec. It's not going to slow down your Internet.
