You need a really good secure Wi-Fi connection

If you have electrical out at that distance but weak wireless, you could buy a Ring Chime with a network repeater in it.

Hello JB,

Great question. The ideal placement for your Chime

Pro is about halfway between your wifi router and the device it’s connected to.

Wifi extenders work best with devices that won’t be moved, and ideally, the

maximum distance between the router and the device should be under 30 feet.

If the distance is greater than 30 feet, you might

need a different solution to a weak wifi signal, like a mesh network instead of

a wifi extender. A wifi router creates a single access point that broadcasts a

signal. The further the signal has to go, the weaker the signal gets. For more
