    Hey @jangran. You may be able to connect it to the hotspot! Some hotspots have some restrictions on what devices can function and connect, but it's worth a shot. To connect it to the hotspot, you will go into the Ring app \> Main Menu \> Devices \> Doorbell \> Device Health \> Change Wifi Network or Reconnect to Wifi. From there, make sure you walk through another setup of the Doorbell and connect it to the hotspot network that you should ensure is on and working. I don't recommend to keep it connected to the hotspot for too long, but for now, give it shot! Let me know how this goes if you still need to do this, or do it in the future. :)

      Hi there, @Yahuah89! In order to reconnect your Ring device to your hotspot, a setup or reconnection process must be completed in the Ring app. Following the steps shared above; [quote="Chelsea_Ring, post:2, topic:8578"] go into the Ring app > Main Menu > Devices > Doorbell > Device Health > Change Wifi Network [/quote] should result in the Ring app prompting you to select another network to connect to. Please ensure your hotspot is actively enabled so that it can be found. Alternatively, you may also tap "setup a device" in your Ring app main menu and accomplish this network change through a new setup process. Feel free to also reference the steps in this [help center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034825092-How-to-Reconnect-Your-Ring-Device-to-Wifi-or-Change-Your-Wifi-Network). :)
