Ring Chime Pro

Normally I try everything to problem solve an issue regarding wireless video transmission in any format, without having to buy additional products. Essentially my Ring doorbell pro worked perfect for a couple of months, then I noticed that the signal strength dropped one day, and I lost connection numerous times. It’s as if the doorbell had a built in timer to decrease WiFi connectivity after a certain time (outside of normal warranty) to cause you to buy a ring chime pro. Now I have read numerous reviews, researched ring forums, and I have spoken to ring users. Having had the opportunity to talk with ring super techs in the past about other things, I didn’t feel the need to bother them about this specific issue as it’s been beat up enough. The deal essentially is my ring doorbell pro always had a -54 connection strength to my WiFi router, which is awesome. A indoor ring can mounted in my garage always had a -53 signal strength. One day the ring doorbell goes to -64 and nothing I did would change that. I tried everything except removing it off the concrete wall, and doing a line of site to the router. It really is convenient to have my router up 7’ on my wall, above my tv in a direct line almost 35’ from my front door. I should have excellent signal strength like I always had. Nope, no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to change. My garage cam, which penetrates 3 sheet rock standard walls still has the same signal strength. Yet the doorbell with only the concrete wall in its way still would not work properly as it always did. My Doorbell is between my front door which is wood, and there is a window on the opposite side. Nope, still wouldn’t work. I thought let’s move the router closer, wait why should I change my location? I get full WiFi out to my mailbox! So I order the chime pro, upon arrival I link it to my account, reset the doorbell, and link it to my chime pro and viola! Instant -53, what the......... Seriously?! So I moved it around and tried three different wall outlets to see if the signal strength would change, and it did. I found that the best place was inside my foyer behind my front door about 5-6’ from the doorbell. Sure moving it to an outlet under the window Which was next to the doorbell had a -55 strength which was less. Go figure that the concrete wall most likely caused this, or? Either way it’s been working great since then. Sure I am skeptical that a $249 doorbell would need this. I didn’t pay that as I got the black Friday deal bundle with the echo 5 show for $179. Both devices for that price made buying the chime pro easier. Sure I was upset but it works fine now, and it solved my issue with no headaches. If your having ring doorbell signal strength issues, you can try several things. 1. Exchange it under the warranty. 2. Move router closer if you have ability. 3. Go to another doorbell brand. 4. Get the ring chime pro.
