Doorbell keeps going offline
My doorbell keeps going offline but my router and wifi is perfectly fine - it works for all other devices. Has anyone got any tips to fix this annoying issue? Signal strength is fine drops out randomly and cannot connect unless you try loads of time. Resetting the signal tells me i have the wrong password - but I KNOW I don’t!! Grrrr!

@ColinT10 2.4ghz always the best choice for Ring Doorbells as it has much better wall penetration. 5ghz is basically stopped dead by exterior walls in a lot of cases.

Thank you - i am using 2.4 ghz but will try this over the weekend. Btw, For the first few months of having the Ring doorbell it was absolutely fine so just simply puzzled why this has started to happen. Thanks and again, will try it...

@Whitey90 Sky routers usually come with the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands linked. You need to go into the settings and split the bands. Maybe add a number 2 to then name of the 2.4ghz network. Not sure what Sky router you have but there are guides over on the Sky forum for them all.

I'm having the same issue. worked perfectly for a couple of months and now it goes offline. My WiFi is fine. all of our computers, TVs, etc., including our other Ring Doorbell (which is further from the router). I'm at a loss.

Hi there, @ColinT10! As the other devices in your home are connecting without issue, this Doorbell should certainly be working as intended. Great job checking on the signal strength. Depending on your Video Doorbell model, it may be capable of connecting to 2.4 Ghz or 5Ghz wifi. Please ensure it is connected to your 2.4 Ghz wifi network. Once you get the Doorbell reconnected, try also testing it out nearest the router for some time. Feel free to let us know how this goes! :)
