Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello Dave,

Thank you for leaving a review. Here at Ring, we understand how critical it is for your Ring Chime Pro to work as intended. It's a key component to ensure all connected Ring devices have a strong signal, along with providing an internal audio effect through your home. We are here to lend some assistance.

Based on your review, it seems that you are having trouble with your Ring Chime Pro extending your wifi signal. When this happens, we recommend moving your Chime Pro. 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.

Hello Rich,

We know how critical it is to rely on this Chime Pro to expand your home's wifi network. These devices were designed with longevity in mind and should provide you with amplified Ring audio alerts, so you always know when activity has been detected. Your other Ring devices should also be able to connect to the Chime Pro network for an improved signal to your doorbell/camera.

If you run into trouble with your Chime Pro, please unplug it for one minute to power cycle the device. After a minute has passed, plug the device back into the outlet. Once powered on, it should function as intended.

Although the power cycle resolves most issues, it may be necessary to perform a hard reset. Please follow the steps below to complete the process:
* Start with your Chime plugged into an outlet. Begin holding down the setup button for 15 consecutive seconds, then release.
* Wait until the light on the front of the device stabilizes. (The light will return to a solid blue)
* Attempt a fresh setup through the Ring app.
* Because some steps are time sensitive, it’s important to have your wifi password handy.

It would be our pleasure to discuss this further with you. If after trying the above steps you still encounter issues, please visit our online forum at your convenience, as we are eager to turn your experience around. For any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.

Hi TENG.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring Chime Pro online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. Having a solid connection ensures that you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.

It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. Usually, a device falling offline repeatedly is related to poor wifi connectivity caused by signal fluctuations, channel congestion, or data loss. In rare cases, this can be caused by settings in your router. If your networking equipment hasn’t been power cycled in a while, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. We also recommend adjusting your router channel. Wireless networks utilize different channels for communication. In the United States, the 2.4 GHz band uses channels 1-11 and the 5 GHz band uses channels 36-165.

You can also hold down the reset button on the side of the Chime Pro for 10 seconds and release it to power cycle the Chime Pro.

If any additional information is needed regarding your Ring Chime Pro, please reach out to our community. 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.

Hello Beth,

Thank you for leaving a review. We completely understand the relevance of having your home security up and running. Having peace of mind that your device’s connectivity is solid is also very important. As a consumer, I also expect a product to perform at its optimal use. If you are noticing that your Chime Pro is not extending your WIFI as far we recommend moving the Chime Pro closer to your Ring device. If you have tried the above suggestion and still need assistance, please reach out to us directly at 18006561918. We look forward to hearing from you. -Jamila at Ring

Hello,

We understand how important it is to experience a reliable connection to your home security devices. The Ring Chime Pro is intended to help better your connection to Ring doorbells and cameras. With proper placement and the Chime Pro Network, you should notice a significant difference. Our team is here to ensure that is the case.

Placement of your Chime Pro is key. For the initial setup of the Chime Pro, place it within a 20 feet radius of your router to ensure a successful setup. Once the unit is set up, move your Chime Pro halfway between the router and the Ring device.
If your Chime Pro has trouble re-connecting, then it might be due to interference. Some things that can cause interference include (but are not limited to):

* Materials such as stucco, brick, or concrete.
* House appliances such as microwaves.
* Electronic devices such as televisions, game systems, or wifi enabled devices.

To ensure the best performance, please test a few different locations. You’ll find that one area provides the best performance. We invite you to visit our Community Forum for some additional tips and tricks, as well as additional support. For any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out on our community forum at https://community.ring.com/.
