    Need Ring Base unit to use this

    I can't really review this because it turns out that this range extender only works if you have the Ring Base unit. As I only have the Ring doorbell, I had to stay with another range extender that simply plugs into an outlet.

      Hello Great,

      Thank you for leaving a review. We here at Ring understand the important of your devices working as intended and would like to lend some assistance. Based on your review it seems that you tried to use your Ring Alarm Range Extender to extend your WIFI. We would like to note that the Range Extender does not extend WIFI or work for the Ring Cameras. It only works for the Ring Alarm Devices. If you would like to extend your WIFI please see our Ring Chime Pro. If you have any further questions or concerns please reach out to us at 18006561918. -Jamila at Ring. Ring

      Hello Roblaf,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your Ring Alarm Range Extender experience with us directly. We appreciate it! The Ring Alarm Range Extender is designed to extend and expand the Base Station’s Z-Wave network, allowing for greater range and network coverage for all security devices at your location. Having further range is important when installing a security system, this ensures your Ring Alarm accessories stay connected no matter how far away from the Ring Base Station they are. Rest assured, we are here to provide you with information to extend your wifi network to your Ring camera device.

      I do believe that you intended to buy a Ring Chime Pro, not a Ring Alarm Range Extender. When plugged into a standard wall socket, the Ring Chime Pro extends the reach of your router's wifi network, extending it out to wherever you have placed a Ring camera device. The Chime Pro also produces an audio signal whenever you receive an alert from a Ring device. Here is more information on this wifi boosting device: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038168452-Ring-Chime-Pro-2nd-Generation-Information.

      We invite you to reach out at https://community.ring.com/ if any additional information is needed regarding your new Ring Alarm Range Extender device. Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another and share their feedback and experiences directly with Ring.

      Thank you,
      Alexis with Ring Ring

      Hi Seenamarie. I'm glad you were able to complete a return with the original retailer, and I'm happy to point you in the right direction. The Ring Alarm Range Extenders use Z-Wave and help extend the network that the Ring Alarm components utilize. If you're looking for a wifi extender to use with your Ring Cameras, you can try the Ring Chime Pro. For more information, check out this Help Center article: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038168452-Ring-Chime-Pro-2nd-Generation-Information. Best, Ashley from Ring. Ring
