Would be grateful for a bit of guidanceHello ,**Received Signal Strength Indicator** ( **RSSI** ) is a measurement of the power present in your Wi-Fi signal in the Ring App (it is negative value). A value of 0 is perfect and the higher the number, the worse your Wi-Fi connection is. Normally a value between 25 to 40 is very good.

This is likely the cause of your Doorbell not functioning properly.

RSSI is -60, so I did the wifi text and have 32mbs download speed and 26 upload speed. With these speeds, how does the ring doorbell have a bad connection? Reaching out to customer service provides absolutely no help!!

Hi @Gidget. Those wifi speeds are absolutely sufficient for Ring doorbell. However, there could be wifi interference that is causing a weak connection. This Community post [here](https://community.ring.com/t/device-tips-wifi-interference/221) explains wifi interference and how it can affect your devices performance. Mitigating wifi interference will improve your overall [RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) and result in a stronger connection. I hope this helps!
