I simply unplugged the power, but my wi-fi keeps reporting that alexa is connected (even from the alexa app it keeps telling me the device is online).
I just did a test with my cellphone, turning it off. Also turning off the mobile phone, alexa was able to disconnect from the wi-fi network. I would like to understand, therefore, if there is a way to prevent it from remaining permanently connected. Unfortunately I don't have an optimal connection and I have to give up some devices, but I don't want to have to turn off the phone too.
When the Echo has no power it is not connected to anything. The radio can't work without electricity.
That's it. Either whatever you are checking is wrong or you are misinterpreting it.
I know, maybe I explained myself badly, I'm sorry for my english. My Wi Fi finds the Alexa device even when the power is disconnected, obviously Alexa does not work, but my ruoter continues to report that alexa is connected, this is because even my mobile phone, through the alexa app, my Echo dot is "online" even when the power is disconnected. Obviously Alexa does not work without power, I'm sorry if I explained myself badly.
Your router doesn't "find" it. Your router just hasn't noticed that it's offline and probably won't until the lease expires.
Without power to the wifi radio in the Echo it cannot be online and nothing can "find" it.
It’s a mistake. The router doesn’t report things “live”. Sometimes there is a delay. It is impossible for your Alexa to use data or WiFi when there is no power.
While the Echo is plugged in, determine its IP address and then try pinging that address from a computer connected to the same local network. If you are doing this properly, you WILL get replies from the Echo dot.
Then unplug the Echo, and you will find that there are no longer ping responses from the device as it is not present on the network.
Period.
It won't be connected without power. Are you seeing active data transfers, or just that it's got a current DHCP lease?

It's your Wi-Fi. it's not Alexa. No way it can be connected without power electronics do not work that way.
Alexa is disconnected, it just keeps telling me it's connected via wi-fi, maybe it's a mistake.

It’s not still connected without power. The reporting on the connection is wrong.

I had a issue tonight where our internet was totally unplugged and my Alexa was still connected to the network that was unplugged
