Cannot set up ring bridge
troubleshooting

I have a bridge ( my first ) but it will not connect to wifi. It will connect to the phone, but it never gets to the part where it askes me to enter the password. It just goes back to asking if the light is flashing blue. My phone is connected to WiFi, the bridge is near the router, I have used the resessed reset button... so far nothing.

    Hi @DwightLee. Depending on the type of phone you're using, you may need to adjust some setting to allow the setup. Try turning off Smart Network Switch/Wifi Assist as well as bluetooth. Then, make sure Location Services is on and permission is enabled. Also, check to make sure any wireless printers in the area are disconnected, as they've been known to cause interference. Also, if available, try using an iPad with the Ring app for the setup process. I hope this works for you.

      I am having the same problem. Cannot get my phone to connect to the bridge. The bridge wifi network comes up, I connect but then nothing happens and it then asks me to make sure the blue light is flashing. Will try what you suggested above. I tried two phones and two bridges and nothing worked. Both phone are Motorola Androids.
