Ring Video Doorbell
Doorbell 3 connects to sub-optimal access point
Hi, My home Wifi consist of a Netgear router RBR50 and a satellite RBS50. Both broadcast the same SSID, and both on 2.4GHz and 5GHz. All my devices on the network are able to select the one with best signal conditions, even dynamically when moving around. But the Ring, which obviously is in the most difficult location as it is outside, has the strange tendency to connect to the worst network and then the app shows "very poor wifi signal", RSSI -82. It connects to 5GHz, which is already weak at my front door, plus it connects to the AP that is 15 meters and 3 brick walls away rather than the one just on the other side of the front wall! Why the Ring doesn't select the network with best signal? After I remove the battery and let it restart it connects to the closer AP, RSSI is -63 , then after a day or so it goes back to the AP with with weaker signal. All my other devices work find and roam well through the house, so i am not inclined to setup different SSID for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands to overcome a bug in the Ring. It would be great if the app would allow me to select the right band and best AP. Any suggestions?
