Apparently the programme did and they had the usual response of "any wifi product is vulnerable to wifi blockers" which is true. But the irony was that Amazon, who we all know owns Ring, actually sells the blockers, some in the form of a smart watch. So thy are selling devices that actively blocks the security devices that they sell. The advice from the programme was to replace the Ring Doorbell with one that has local storage in the form of an SD card. I'm going into town later, a local shop has a Tapo Doorbell that is a local storage device and does not have a monthly subscription, in a year, it will have paid for itself.
