Why Ring Chime Pro Won't Boost Signal
- The Ring Chime Pro is designed to extend the Wi-Fi signal to Ring devices, but if it's not performing as expected, several issues could be responsible. One common reason is the distance between the Chime Pro and your Ring device. If they are too far apart, the signal it can provide may be weak or ineffective.
- Another potential cause is interference from other electronic devices. Devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, or other Wi-Fi networks operating in close proximity can disrupt the Wi-Fi signal.
- Sometimes, the issue may be related to the router itself. If the router has limited range or is placed in a poor location, this can limit the effectiveness of the Chime Pro.
- Network settings may also contribute to the problem. It's possible that your router's settings are not optimized for signal extension, or that the Chime Pro is misconfigured.
How to Fix the Problem
- First, try moving the Ring Chime Pro closer to your Ring device while still maintaining a good connection with the router. This may help strengthen the Wi-Fi signal it provides.
- Reduce interference by moving the Chime Pro or router away from other electronic devices. Consider switching your router to a less congested channel if interference is due to other Wi-Fi networks.
- Ensure that your router is positioned centrally in your home and as elevated as possible, without obstacles around it, to maximize its range.
- Check and update your network settings. Make sure your router's firmware is up-to-date, and consult your router's manual or your internet service provider for recommendations on optimal settings for signal extension.
- Restart both your router and the Chime Pro to reset their connections, which can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
- If problems persist, consider consulting Ring's customer support for specific troubleshooting steps related to your device and network setup.
