New video doorbell not working

I was bought a video doorbell 2nd generation for Christmas yesterday. I have tried to set it up and all the settings in the app says it is set up and working but it doesn't ring when the bell is pressed and it doesn't send any notifications. The live video doesn't work either. The only thing i haven't done is actually fix it the wall as I wanted to test it first. I have put the back on and put the screws in as though it is up though. I've deleted the app and reinstalled, I've reset and set up the bell twice but nothing makes a difference.

    Sounds like you might have a network/firewall problem.

      It's saying my WiFi connection is good when I go on the device status bit. What do I need to do to get round the network/firewall problem? I've tried doing it through alexa too as that can't connect to the video either. Thanks

    You are in the US ? You have a major ISP ? What is the model of your modem/router ? Do you know how to access the configuration page for your router's settings ?

      I am in the UK, I can access the routers settings. My router just says plusnet on it as that is my ISP.

    Go to your router's settings and disable the firewall - just to test if that is the issue. You can enable it afterward.

    Ok - does your router's config page show something like 'connected devices' ? you should see your android device amongst others. Do you see your ring device listed ?

      It isn't on the connected devices list but it is listed somewhere else on a port forwarding list. (was just flicking through options and noticed it)

    Well if it were me - I would record the current settings and then - remove any sort of 'port forwarding list' entries. (associated with the ring device)

      The port forwarding thing is only an option to choose the doorbell, there aren't any port forwarding things set. (no idea what it is to be honest)
