Changing connection of base station from wifi to Ethernet, will it require me to setup devices (cameras, sensors, etc.) again?

Hello @Polin ,
No, you will not have to setup your Ring devices again, when just changing your Alarm Base Station’s Internet connection. For Wi-Fi to cable, just plug in the Ethernet cable. 
But note, your Alarm Base Station can only be connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi OR via an Ethernet cable. Your Base Station cannot be connected to the Internet usingboth Wi-Fi and cable at the same time. When you plug in an Ethernet cable, if you were previously connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi connection and Wi-Fi login/password information will be removed from the Base Station (as a security feature). If you have an Ethernet cable plugged into the Base Station and attempt to connect to wifi, you should receive a message that as long as the cable is plugged in, you will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi.
When switching your Base Station from Ethernet back to Wi-Fi, disconnect the cable and have your router password handy, and your smart-phone Blue-Tooth and GPS location enabled, before you initiate pressing the PAIRING button on the rear of your Base Station.
