I found that small positioning changes can make a big difference with my Echo -- it used to be on the a kitchen counter in a small corner formed by a beam, I had to be close and very clearly enunciate "Alexa" to get it to wake up. One day after cleaning the counter, I put it out in front of the beam instead of the corner, and it was a night and day difference, it could suddenly hear me across the room.
