To change the WiFi network on a Ring doorbell, follow these general steps:
- Open the Ring app on your smartphone.
- Go to the Menu and select Devices.
- Select your Ring doorbell from the list.
- Go to Device Health, then tap on Change Wi-Fi Network.
- Follow the prompts to put your Ring doorbell into setup mode (this often involves pressing a button on the back or side of the doorbell).
- When the Ring doorbell shows a spinning light indicating setup mode, confirm in the app that you are near the device.
- The app will prompt you to join the WiFi network broadcasted by the Ring.
- Select your new WiFi network from the list and enter the password.
- Wait for the doorbell to connect to the new network, then remount the device if you removed it.
If you cannot find the "Change Wi-Fi Network" option, you may need to remove the Ring doorbell from the app and set it up again with the new WiFi network by performing a factory reset. Important notes:
- Your Ring doorbell typically connects to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band.
- Keep your phone close to the Ring doorbell during the process.
- Avoid special characters in WiFi names and passwords if possible.
- Pressing a specific button on the doorbell (orange or black button depending on model) activates setup mode.
