Live View: Activating Device

Hi I just installed a Ring Pro, and discovered that Live View rarely connects... maybe 1 in 10 times. It usually just gets stuck on "Activating Device" If it does connect, it lasts for just a few seconds. Are there any methods to fix this? I have tried access Live View through the app on the same Wifi as the Ring, and through cell connection. This issue effectively disables the key feature of the Ring device - being able to talk to someone at the door through your phone. I don't think it's a Wifi connection problem. Device Health shows RSSI-49. The device consistently uploads videos when motion is detected, though the video clips do have a audio popping sound problem (different post.) I am using a Arris BGW210 modem/router combo. Thank you.

      I have the original doorbell and it has always been hard to connect on live views. And when someone rings the doorbell by the time I get connected and the person is gone.

        Same issue here. In my case, it's a Spotlight Cam. I installed a Video Doorbell and Stick-up Cam and they are running fine, but my Spotlight Cam seems to be stuck in "activating camera..." I'm getting motion notifications and those videos are blank.

          "Switching networks for the device, whether this is from 2.4 Ghz to 5.0 Ghz (if possible for device/network to connect to)" This worked. Live view connects much more consistently. This also fixed an audio issue I had on a different post. Thanks!
