While trying to work on some other issues I've been having terrible trouble discovering my devices on a Gen 4 Echo, sometimes 5 minutes later it finds a device, and sometimes not. I did a packet capture on my router to see where the issue was, and it appears to be with the dot:
I started the discovery at about 2 seconds into this capture, and it doesn't start sending any SSDP discovery packets until 300 seconds later.
I switched to a Gen2 Dot and it works perfectly.
While this definitely appears to be an issue on the Alexa side, I thought it good to document this.
