    Hi there, @Ian68. It is possible that your Video Doorbell 3 is connected to your 5Ghz wifi network, whereas the 2.4 Ghz wifi connection may work better over distance and through exterior walls. If this is not the case, check out our [Community post about RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Device-Tips-and-How-To-s/How-it-Works-Your-Ring-Device-RSSI-Good-vs-Poor/ba-p/751) for tips on optimizing signal strength. Feel free to let us know how this goes. :)

      Same here. Door bell 2 40-50 rssi, new 3 plus 66. I’ve bought WiFi extender and now the new chime pro. 39rssi on chime 2ft from door bell and still 66 rssi. Cannot acces live view and so slow. Absolutely waited my time and money with this. Will change back to the old doorbell.

      I have the same problem. After almost 2 years It still works like that. A waste of money, time and effort. Someone from support tried to help me, but the problem is the poor wifi of the doorbell. I even installed a business grade access point 3 meters away from this doorbell, mounted on a post so the signal could get easily past the fence. It still works slow and buggy. The rssi varies from 50-81 constantly. If I put mi cellphone next to the doorbell, my cellphone gets a decente signal. This ring doorbell 3 plus is a waste of money. They should offer cheaper options with PoE. Currently the only option they offer with PoE is the Doorbell Elite, which is extremely expensive for what it is.
