    I have a large home with a full ring security system. This extender does exactly what it’s advertised to do and makes my sensors work flawlessly. Easy to connect to my system and the process was seamless. This is a must have and makes the ring system even more impressive. I’ll never go back to a local security company ever again!

    The Ring Extender is easy to add to the Ring network and definitely provided a healthier WiFi status for Ring cameras that were on the edge from the existing Ring network. Since adding the extender, haven’t seen any poor connection status for those cameras.

    Used this to extend Ring coverage to a far end of the house. Works perfectly. Super simple to setup -- plug in and setup in the app. That is it.

    The second generation range extender is an improvement from the first generation. The look is sleeker and I quickly noticed the improvement in range.

    We have had our Ring Doorbell for some time now and love how great it works, so we decided to add some additional cameras and sensors to our system. We were concerned about the signal with how far the sensors are from each other and the base. We bought the Alarm Range Extender to make sure our system always works and has no issues. So far so good.

    Package Safety

    We purchased the ring device to be certain that we heard the doorbell. When COVID arrived, we reduced our time and stores, instead ordering online. Ring ensured that we never missed a delivery, which reduced the chance of packages being stolen. The neighborhood alerts were another helpful feature. Bob from Capitola, CA

    Very easy to install. I really like the light at the base. This is my second WIFI extendor from RING. I recently installed several additional RING cameras, so I needed an additionla WIFI Extendor. And of course, I have the RING Doorbell!! Thank You Ring !!

    This Ring's range extender is almost non-existent in its operation & effects towards extending the wifi range. I have not seen any changes of my Ring's floodlight cam or outdoor cam plus' WiFi signal since I have activated this ALLEGED range extender. So, I believe that it is just another way for Ring company to lure customers to purchase this device for their financial gain.

    This one actually has a longer range then the Ring Chime. Both work great great to help extend the wifi away from my house to use the cameras.
