I bought this to extend my Wi-Fi signal strength from my house to my detached garage that is about 40 feet from my house. I have a Ring doorbell in my garage and I wasn't getting enough signal for the camera to work like it should.
The Ring Pro Chime was very easy to set up and now my doorbell camera works perfect inside my garage to keep an eye on things that may happen.
I am very happy with this product and would recommend it.
By the way, the night lite on the chime helps a lot when going in the garage at nght.

My old Ring Chime stopped working, so had to buy a new one. This one is great and includes a nightlight.

What's Not to Love About Ring?

I recently added a series of Ring powered spotlight cams to the outside of my vacation home. My concern was that with the spotty internet connectivity we get in the house (the cable company's router just isn't very powerful) that the connection would be intermittent or possibly non-existent.
Sure enough, upon installations, the two cameras furthest from the router could barely pick up a signal, certainly not sufficient for Live View coverage of the front and side of the house. And moving the router was a non-starter.
Having had prior experience with Ring products in my main home, I knew there was a ready-made solution. So, I scoured the local Best Buy for Chime Pro, found it in stock and brought it home to solve my problem that day.
It took two attempts to find the right location, but fortunately, once I had done the initial set up, moving to a new electrical outlet was as simple as plugging in a lamp. Once I found the sweet spot where the signal was as strong between chime and router as router and cameras, I was done, and we haven't had a connectivity problem since.
One thing I love about Ring products is that every time I have a problem, not necessarily with the product as much as the conditions of its use, Ring seems to solve that problem. For example, a recent issue required a change to a router password. I anticipated having to climb ladders to reset the password on several Ring products to get them connected to the internet again,
But to my surprise, the software had changed and once I initiated a re-set on my phone, all I had to do was stand in front of the camera and wave to get it into set-up mode. With a recent knee surgery, the last thing I wanted was to climb an 18' ladder several times to press the reset button on multiple cameras. Ring had responded to other customer's and fixed that situation before I even knew I needed it.
My only criticisms are that I really did not need the 'doorbell chime' function since the unit ended up 10 ft from the home's built-in doorbell. The chime's total cost (to me) was overkill because I only needed a simple extender, which Ring does not currently offer.
Which leads to my second criticism, the Ring network seems to be following Apple's model of exclusivity. Rather than allowing (cheaper) generic extenders to work with the network, Ring extenders, cameras, etc. will only interact with other Ring products. Of course, as with Apple, the benefit of exclusivity is a single, cohesive product line that works seamlessly together. And they are simple to use.
Bottom line; you sacrifice flexibility (and price point) for set-up simplicity and dead-on availability. Once installed and connected, all of my Ring devices just work... constantly, and without trouble. To me, that is worth the added cost and lack of interconnectivity.

The Ring Chime Pro 8AC1PZ is the latest version of the Ring Chime with WiFi extender; besides the obvious aesthetics improvements ( better looking finish and not external antennas) the big changes are under the hood. The new Ring Chime Pro 8AC1PZhas dual-band 2.4 GHz & 5.0 GHz network connectivity; it also has a built-in night light that can be turn on or off. Set it up to my Ring doorbell video was a breeze, including the ring tones and alarms. I hook it up the backyard camera to the extender and now works like a charm. As a plus, it look good in my dinning room because of its stylish design and a night time the building-in night light keeps the area visible. I'm glad I waited patiently when I pre-ordered my Ring Doorbell Video 3 along with the Ring Chime Pro 8AC1PZ.

This product worked absolutely great. With the ring app, it made setup very easy and not time consuming at all. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Remember tho, This must be paired with a ring doorbell or it will not work, This product will take up 1 slot, And if your only going to buy 1, try your best to put this product in the center of the house, if you have a big house, Consider buying multiple ring chimes.

The Ring Doorbell chime was not working properly and this is how we solved that issue. The set-up is pretty straightforward. It has a much gentler chime (pick your favorite from the options) and it works for us. It also has a little night light on it.

I enjoy my Ring Chime. I really like the different tones the chime can be, not just the basic dig-dong. I like the fact that new tones are added for each season. If you need a good doorbell, this is a great option.

This chime's style is simple, but modern! It appears to go better with the decor. However, the main motive of this review is to talk about its easy setup using a QR code on the box! Scan it with your phone and follow a the steps and it's done. The audio quality is much better than the original Ring Chime. It is capable to act as a WI-Fi extender for the home's ring network for cameras, etc. Finally, it has a LED nightlight shining on the floor. While I don't need the Wi-Fi extender included with this chime I opted to purchase it for the nightlight feature. The regular Chime does not feature a night light. It is very impressive and looks a lot better than the original chime.

Works as expected with expanding your wifi range to your other ring devices. The sound on it defaults pretty loud but you can change that in the settings on the app. Also is a good night light when walking around a dark area.

Bought this as a plug in for our Ring Door Camera because our old mechanical chime was not compatible with the new technology and to expand the WiFi signal to all my ring devices. It worked perfect. Would recommend without hesitation.

This Ring extender works well, as expected.
I like the added night light, which was a nice addition.
The Ring extender was easy to plug in.
I bought two of them, and added one to the east end of the house, and one in the sunroom on the south side of the house.

Very easy setup. Connected to my Ring Doorbell and router immediately and works perfect. I like the nightlight that can be turned on or off. Very compact in size also.
