Yaser Kasim scored a stunner for Swindon to help see off awful Alex.
Kasim opened his account for the season in the 34th minute after fellow midfielder Louis Thompson was up-ended by Jamie Ness.
Iraq international Kasim then left keeper Ben Garratt flat-footed with a 22 yard free kick that flew into the top of the net.
Robins manager Mark Cooper was delighted with the win and said:
"I thought we were very comfortable. We had to be patient and Crewe gave us respect so we had to wait for the right moment.
"I didn't think we were ever in any trouble. We dominated and deserved to win. The league table makes decent reading."
Striker Andy Williams added a second goal in two games in the 77th minute when he stole the ball off midfielder Lee Molyneux 35 yards out before racing into the area and sliding the ball past the helpless Garratt.
But if it had not been for Garratt Crewe would have been severely embarrassed.
Garratt pulled some excellent saves as his team mates seemed void of ideas or desire.
In the first thirty minutes the Crewe stopper dived low to save a twelve yard shot from Kasim before diving to pluck a cross off Williams's toes and blocking close range efforts from Thompson and Brad Smith.
Five minutes after the break Garratt needed to be alert again to claim Michael Smith's eight yard flick-on from under his bar following a cross from right wing-back Nathan Byrne.
And in the 77th minute Garratt needed to be at his very best to tip over another superb Kasim free-kick from 30 yards.
Crewe boss Steve Davis admitted:
"A lot of the work we did was about defending - trying to frustrate them and falter their play."
