Ring Video Doorbell: Why is my ring chime not connecting to my WiFi?

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 19:07:51 -0700

We have set up the Ring video doorbell and now have the ring chime to go with it. We have followed all instructions and looked up forums online but still unable to get the chime to connect. It finds our WiFi and the blue light pulses, as soon as it says they are connecting the blue light speeds up searching for networks and says set up has failed! I've reset the chime, reset the router, checked internet connection and not sure what I can do now! Please help?!

Thanks in advance

Ring Video Doorbell: Why is my hardwired battery not trickle charging

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 13:23:05 -0700

I've had my hardwired ring doorbell almost a year a the battery has always been at 100%

Lately its been slowly dropping and not recharging. I've read on other forums that this was the cause of a firmware upgrade and ring knows nothing about it. Their tech support is really terrible. Anyone experiencing this?

Ring Video Doorbell: Why am I not getting Notifications

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 09:53:02 -0700

I am not getting any notifications on my phone and other iOS devices including two Mac desktops. Everything was working fine. After I charged the battery and I discovered I was not getting any notifications on my iPhone 8. Obviously I went through the basic troubleshooting steps to figure it out. I was never able to figure it out. I did look at the system health and it appears normal. The battery has a good charge and RSSI is good as well.

The Doorbell firmware is up to date and Ring App is 5.11.2. On my iPhone 8 running 12.3, all of the notifications are ON.

Does anyone else use a Ring Doorbell 2 and experience a notification issue?

Ring Doorbell 2: My device is no longer charging via transformer

Wed, 18 Mar 2020 11:13:15 -0700

My ring doorbell 2(bought second hand) has recently stopped recognising as being hardwired so I have to charge the battery every few weeks.

the transformer is rated at 24v AC 3A(72vA) and I am still reading 24v AC at the terminations when powered up so the transformer is working as expected.

I can only assume something has gone wrong internally but obviously the device is outside of any warranty so it’ll be down to me to fix or repair.

Ring Video Doorbell: Really low speaker volume

Tue, 20 May 2025 13:54:30 -0700

Hi! I have a Ring doorbell, and live on a quite busy road. The speaker seems to be extremely hard to hear, and I have had RING tech support check it is set to the maximum. So what I am wondering is whether anyone has, or could advise on swapping out this speaker for one say from an iPhone or something? I am NOT technical, so there may be many reasons why this is not possible, but f I play music on my iPhone at the front door, that can be heard fine in any traffic, so I don’t see why the Ring doorbell couldn’t be adapted in some way to allow for a better speaker. Any help gladly accepted! Thanks in advance

Hi,

Help please, does anyone know where I can get a complete button assembly, not the plastic button top that cracks but the rest of it. As in the whole “pressure switch” bit, with the ribbon cable attached. It’s for a Ring doorbell Pro?

Thanks

Ring Video Doorbell: Ring 2 bundle from Costco, Chime won't connect to WiFi.

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 09:54:24 -0700

I go through the setups steps, but when it is time for Chime to link to my phone, the Chime network says, “Cannot connect, internet unavailable.” But the internet is very available, even when I try this a couple of feet from my router. z

The slow blink starts, I hit continue, then the app tells me Chime is trying to connect to my device. After a couple of minutes, it seems like it’s connecting, but then I get the above message. Anyone seen this before?

Ring Doorbell 2: Why is my doorbell not connecting to my WiFi after falling in water?

I have a ring doorbell for my garden to look at the wildlife. Last night a fox it it into a pot of water and it sat there for 7 hours. Took it out and took it apart to dry it up (trust me, it works) and it turned on! Just one thing: when the doorbell button is clicked, it doesn’t make the noise and it doesn’t connect to my WiFi.

My workplace has a Ring account. My house has a Ring account. Those who use the work Ring account, have to use the work Ring account, but I can't access my home Ring account. And the shared user had 3 people going in circles trying to figure that out. My question is, is it possible to switch between 2 account in Ring, without signing in and out every time I need to switch between them? Or am I just out of luck?
