Ring doorbell fails on WiFi connect, spinning light

Hi all - I'm trying to set up an old ring doorbell; I think it must have been sitting in a box not set up for five years! It appears to be the original ring doorbell. During the setup phase, after I've connected my phone to the ring WiFi, it tries to connect to my home WiFi and fails. When the app reports that there's a problem and asks what the Ring is doing; the light pattern I'm getting isn't listed as an option. Instead of giving the flashing up, left, or right that the app is asking about, instead the light is just circling, alternating blue and white. I've tried this multiple times on two different WiFi networks with the same result. Help!
