I'm pretty sure, but not completely certain. I'd already set my Dot up with my
Kindle Fire, and I've not been able to reset it to try again from the website
as if it was a new device.
What I can tell you is that you can go to http://alexa.amazon.co.uk, arrow to ;
Settings and press Enter, arrow to Set up a new device and press Enter, then
arrow to Echo Dot and press Enter.
When I did this, I got a message that I'd have to sign in to Amazon again, and
a Continue button. Once past these, I got a screen that talked about connecting
to my Wi-Fi. This didn't work for me, but it may have been because the Dot was
already connected - I'm not sure. But it certainly looks as though you *should*
be able to do it.
I was using NVDA and Firefox on Windows 7, if that's useful.

hi Steve, Is it possible to setup the echo dot from the website, instead of the
app?. I am having issues trying to setup my dot with the Alexa app, Billy

Not only usable from a laptop, but the webpage for it,
http://alexa.amazon.co.uk, works as well as or better than the smartphone apps.
I've only tried my Dot once away from home, on a public Wi-Fi system, and I
couldn't connect to it. I was in a rush so maybe I was doing it wrong.
Alexa is built into the Dot. The whole point is there is no screen, so Alexa is
the way the Dot communicates with you.
The Dot comes with TuneIn radio. I don't know how many stations that gives you
access to, but their website, http://tunein.com/, should tell you.

Subject: [access-uk] The Echo/Dot
Hi folk,
Thanks for the interesting and sometimes even amusing LOL posts here recently.
I don't have a smart phone but only a laptop and a netbook so I wonder are the
Echo and Dot usable with them?
I wonder also as I have mobile broadband does the Echo/Dot work anywhere as
long as I have my wi Fi enabledor say if out and about using other Wi FI?
Finally do I need to download Alexa or is it there by default and using the
Echo or Dot have I then accessx to internet radio?
Best,
Tony Sweeney.?
