Hi Azul.

Thank you for your question. The Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Indoor Cam require connectivity to a wifi network broadcasting at 2.4 GHz frequency for full functionality. We have included the steps here for connecting your Ring device to wifi upon setup:

Open the Ring app.
Tap the menu (☰).
Tap Set Up a Device.
Tap Security Cams or Doorbells.
Tap the blue I’m Ready to Scan button.
Use your mobile device’s camera to scan the QR code on the device’s packaging.
When a green square and pop-up with your device image appears, the code has been recognized.
Enter the Location where your Indoor Cam is being set up.
If this is your first time setting up a Ring device, the Ring app will ask. Already specified a location for your Ring devices? Select it from the list of your locations in the Ring app.
Give your Indoor Cam a Device Name.
You can proceed with the device’s default name or give it a custom name.
Connect your Ring device to Ring.
iOS: Tap Join when the Ring app asks to join the Ring wifi network.
Android: If your device does not automatically connect to the Ring wifi network:
Exit the Ring app
Go to your mobile device’s Settings.
Tap wifi.
Select either Ring- or Ring Setup.
When prompted by the app, press and release the button on the Indoor Cam until the blue light flashes.
Tap Continue in the app when the blue light stops flashing.
Connect to your preferred wifi network.
