        Happened to have a repeater handy, so set up doorbell to access it... now have an RSSI of -50. The repeater is on a window sill pointing right at the doorbell.Got curious and took the doorbell for a 'walk" while monitoring RSSIA location change of 3-4 feet could change the RSSI +/- 15 points StrangeNo wonder Users are having problems with connections.Another observation.. with no changes my RSSI of -50 changed to -60 and laterback to -50

          @ColFrank On the whole Ring kit does need a very strong signal to work well. RSSI can be impacted by a lot of factors like walls, type of walls, temperature, even touching or holding the device. You are correct that most issues people have with Ring kit is Wi-Fi signal strength.
