    This is the only Ring item I haven't been happy with bc it doesn't really help the Cameras at all. It suppose to help with WIFI if the camera are far from your router but other than that it works a little.

      Hi DREW7270PAM.
      We understand the importance of having a consistent wifi signal on your Ring device. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are eager to address the issue you raised in your review and provide you with a resolution today.

      It sounds like the device is not operating as expected. The Ring Chime Pro (2nd Gen.) features a new design, built-in nightlight, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wifi connectivity, and guided feedback during setup that helps you find the best location for your Chime Pro. Even with your Chime Pro, your router is still your main source of connection for your Chime Pro. Ideally, the maximum distance between the router and your device is 20-25 feet with the Chime Pro about halfway between the Ring device and your router. If possible, try moving the router closer to the device. Also, make sure your router is not in a closet or behind furniture, like a sofa, so the router has an unobstructed signal.

      We invite you to reach out to our Community if any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Chime Pro. The Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another by sharing their feedback and experiences with each other.

      Thank you,
      Melissa from Ring. Ring

    This product has the Ring brand behind it, which assures a good product. However, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to complete the installation. The last step always gives an error regarding my internet but this is not correct. I have tried all steps recommended but haven’t been able to complete the installation.

      Hi JeanMac.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of a seamless setup process so that you can begin using your Ring Chime Pro right away. The features and technology provided by the Ring Chime Pro are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. Rest assured, we are here to provide you with solutions today.


      We are happy that you have chosen a Ring Chime Pro for your home security needs. We have included the steps here to set up your Ring Chime Pro in the Ring app:

      Choose your Ring device's location.

      * First select the location where you want to connect Chime Pro. Keep in mind, you can only hear alerts for Ring doorbells and cameras at the same location.

      Positioning Chime Pro.

      * When choosing where to plug in Chime Pro, pick a spot that halfway between your wifi router and the Ring device that is furthest away from the router. That way Chime Pro will be able to best extend your Ring network signal.

      Add your Chime Pro in the Ring app.

      1. Open the Ring app to the main dashboard.
      2. Tap Set Up a Device at the bottom of the screen.
      3. Tap Chimes.
      4. Scan the QR code on the back of the device with the camera on your mobile device to begin set up.

      Plug Chime Pro into an outlet.

      * Make sure the outlet where you plug Chime Pro in is not obstructed by any furniture or dense walls – this will affect the signal.

      Chime Pro will automatically enter Setup Mode.

      * The light on the front of your Chime Pro will start to flash green when it's ready to connect.

      Connect to Chime Pro's local network.

      iOS: Tap Joinwhen the Ring app asks to join the Ring device's wifi network.
      Android : Your device should automatically connect to the Ring device's wifi network.
      If you're having trouble connecting, try going to your wifi network and select ChimePro-XXXXXX (the X's will be numbers from its unique device ID).

      Connect Chime Pro to your wifi.

      * Input your wifi network password. Remember, the password is case sensitive.
