Extending ring bridge range

Is there any way to extend the wireless range of the ring bridge?I recently picked up a bridgre and 4 solar pathlights and I'm a bit disappointed at the range. Some are only about 25 feet away and they're reporting poor connectivity to the bridge.My driveway is about 300 feet long and I was hoping to add solar pathlights down the entire length if these worked out, but it isn't looking good so far.

    Hi @SecretAsianMan. If you are experiencing poor signal with your Ring Bridge, it could be due to interference. I would try moving your Ring Bridge to a different location and monitoring the signal for a day or 2. You may need to do this a few times to find an optimal location. I hope this helps!

      I can do that. What kind of range should I be able to expect from the bridge in ideal conditions? I could actually put the bridge outside in a weatherproof enclosure so it would have clear line of sight to the places where I want more pathlights.

      Hi @SecretAsianMan . There isn't an exact distance I can give. With the amount of variables that can affect the signal of the Ring Bridge, it's tough to say. I wouldn't put your Ring Bridge outside, even if in a weather proof box. With being exposed to the sun and hot/cold temperature, this could af

    I'm having a similar issue- the bridge just won't reach across the house AND it won't let me add a second one, which would be fine for me (gives error "you already have a device like this"). Does anyone know how to work around/through this?

      Agreed. I need coverage for the front and back of my house and I hate that I can’t just plug in a separate bridge.

    Hi @cowanSF. I have responded to your comment on this [post](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-light-bridge-extender/6399/5) about using more than one Ring Bridge at a location.
