Ring Video Doorbell
Ring Elite does not connect at 1Gbps
I received a brand new Ring Elite (the second one I try), firmware updated and hardwired with CAT6 to my UniFi switch (PoE - 24/250W) and it only connects at 100Mbps never at 1Gbps. The Ring app shows what appears to be an error: **"Signal Strength: RSSI-256 (?)"** and I have tried different cat6 cables, different ports but still no go. The Elite supposedly supports 10/100/1000 connection speeds but this is not the case with the two that I've tried. Is this a bug? is there a special setting that will allow it to connect at 1Gbps? I called support twice and they run their usual "test the device" routine and said everything looks good with the doorbell but couldn't figure out why it wasn't connecting at the desired speed. Is there anyway to get an escalation support engineer to look into this? I'd prefer not to go through the same support call experience for them to tell me everything is fine.

Good question @Lucho! The PoE adapter that comes with your Stick Up Cam Elite, is rated for an Ethernet speed of 10/100Mbps. I hope this helps! :)

LThanks Marley, I appreciate the reply but I'm plugged directly to my UniFi switch provides PoE (not using the PoE adapter) If the PoE Adapter is 10/100Mbps, is it safe to assume the Ring Elite is also 10/100Mbps? I just want to make sure there's nothing defective which prevents it from connecting at 1Gbps. It seems odd though that a so called "Elite" device can't take advantage of the faster connection speed specially for video transport.

MHey @Lucho! Thank you for your continue patience with this inquiry. After further confirmation, the PoE adapter does indeed support 10/100/1000 speeds for the Video Doorbell Elite. If you are seeing less resources being utilized than expected, do keep in mind your router may only delegate the resources as needed. I hope this helps! :)

LThanks for the info Marley, I appreciate the reply. My switch is UniFi 24/250W and all other devices which support 1Gbps are connecting at GigE speed. Only 8 ports are being used right now so this has nothing to do with low resources on the switch. I’m using a very short patch cable to test this and this is the second Ring Elite that has this issue. Perhaps, my vendor has a batch of defective devices? I mean get have to return this device as well. I haven’t had to make any changes to the switch for other devices to work but are there specific port settings the Ring is looking for?

hi all. Just to add and agree with others. I have seven Elite cameras connected directly to Unifi switches for POE, and they are all showing as operating at 100FDX. So it is clear that Ring Elite cameras are limited to 100Mbs operation. The Ring product page says they only need 2Mbs upload speed and so it seems they don't need high speeds to operate - which I guess makes sense as not everyone installs a wired network across their homes like some of us do! :slight_smile:

BI have had the same issue. I have the Ring Elite plugged into a Ruckus ICX-7150 Switch stack. I have forced the port on my switch to use 1000 mbps using the speed-duplex command but the Ring Elite is 100% unusable at that point and I have to revert to 100mbps for it to work. I would like to conclude that the RIng Elite must only have a 10/100 connection and I don't think this product should be advertised as 1G connection if it can't perform at that speed. Please update your products and manuals to conform with the actual speed. Thanks.

I can also confirm that my Ring Elite Doorbell will not connect over 1GB connection. I have a Ubiquiti 24port POE+ switch and all my other devices plugged in will run on 1GB but this doorbell only runs on 100mbps. I also tried to force the connection to use 1GB, but then the doorbell stops working. I used a net gear PoE+ Gigabit switch and received the same results. I ruled out my Ubiquiti hardware and therefore all signs point to the Ethernet port on the doorbell only working on 10/100.

Dear community, I had the same problem with a Cisco Catalyst C2960S, with the particularity that I forcing speed and duplex on the switch port did not work either. For now I have it connected to a 10/100 switch without management, I'll keep trying.

Is anybody at Ring monitoring these threads? Can anybody confirm if the Ring Elite only supports 10/100Mbps? I might have to return this one as well
