Ring Video Doorbell

Ring Doorbell connects to WiFi, but says it's offline
I have tried to set up my Ring Doorbell, and every time I connect it to my WiFi it says setup successful, but it says its offline and won't capture video at all. I also have a spotlight with no can that works just fine with he WiFi and my ring bridge. I have tried resetting the router multiple times, connecting it to my Hotspot, which works but works terribly. If someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.

@Chenry Thanks for that information. If possible, I'd recommend using a 2.4GHz wifi network as this has a better range than 5.0GHz and still provides sufficient speeds for your Ring Doorbell. This should provide a more stable connection with the wifi. If you try a 2.4GHz network and it still shows offline, try resetting the Doorbell completely by holding down the setup button for at least 20 seconds. Once the reset is done, walk the Doorbell through a fresh setup in the Ring App using the steps under Set Up a Device. Sometimes a fresh setup can make sure everything is up and running properly.

I am having similar issues. From my router, I can see the Ring Doorbell Pro is connected and I can ping it. But it keeps showing offline. Interestingly, it can continue detect motion and once it detects motion it reports itself online again. But it then goes back offline in a few minutes.

I'm having the same problem on multiple devices and networks. Right now it's three Floodlight Cams that show offline, but are connected to my routers with a strong signal. I had some transient Doorbell Pros go offline as well. All continue to send video clips and detect motion. I can access each device and get a live view to adjust motion zones, but the main access pages shows offline.

This is an issue with Ring. This has been happening to all of our cameras and our doorbell on and off for the past week. We can get some to work, even though they say offline, by using motion. Some we can't get to reconnect unless we do a hard reset on them. Getting old because we have to use a ladder on 6 of the cameras each time we do a hard reset to reconnect them to wifi. The doorbell recently started doing this but motion reconnects it to wifi. Two of the cameras are connected to a Chime Pro and the others are connected to my router's wifi. Ring needs to figure out what's broken and fix this because I dislike having to pull out the ladder for 6 cameras every 6 hours.

Hi @Chenry. What kind of wifi network do you have, is it a 2.4GHz or a 5.0GHz network? Also, which model of Ring Doorbell do you have? You can find this information on the original packaging, the back of the Doorbell itself, as well as on the Device Health page in the Ring App.
