Check Your Wi-Fi Now!<\/h2>\n<p>RING doorbell owners have been urged to make a simple yet essential Wi-Fi check to ensure their video cameras can catch home intruders. The home security gadgets use Wi-Fi to record live footage of what\u2019s happening at the front door and send video notifications to your smartphone.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is Wi-Fi Connection Important for Ring Doorbells?<\/h3>\n<p>But a weak connection could scupper this. Ring recommends having at least 2MB of download and upload speed at your front door &#8211; or wherever your video doorbell is. Ring explains in an FAQ that &#8220;Ring products are designed to work with your home Wi-Fi network&#8221; and &#8220;will not work with a mobile phone hotspot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>How to Check Your Wi-Fi Connection?<\/h3>\n<p>To ensure your connection is strong enough, you can download a speed test app for your smartphone and test it. Stand at your front door, make sure you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the doorbell, and then run the test.<\/p>\n<h3>Boost Your Wi-Fi for Better Performance<\/h3>\n<p>Changing your internet speed settings from 2.4GHz to 5GHz is a quick way to increase speed. Ring warns that all Ring devices are compatible with 2.4 GHz networks, while only a few can utilize 5 GHz networks.<\/p>\n<p>If you have employed that internet speed settings trick to boost your connection and your device isn&#8217;t connecting properly, consider these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Restart your router<\/strong> &#8211; refresh your connection and potentially improve your speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Move your router<\/strong> &#8211; avoid interference to enhance your connection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get a Wi-Fi booster<\/strong> &#8211; check if your internet provider offers free boosters for better coverage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Stop Over-Active Ring Doorbell Alerts<\/h3>\n<p>If your Ring video cameras are overly active, try enabling the Geofence feature. This virtual perimeter around your location allows you to customize your device alerts as needed. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Ring app and navigate to Settings<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the Geofence position<\/li>\n<li>Set up Auto-Snooze for notifications control<\/li>\n<li>Configure Arm\/Disarm Reminders for mode changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By following these simple steps and ensuring a strong Wi-Fi connection, you can maximize the performance of your Ring doorbell and enhance your home security system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Your Ring Doorbell Ready?
