Exceptional Doorbell Companion!
The Ring Chime Pro Wireless (2nd Gen) has exceeded my expectations! A superb addition to my home security setup. It provides clear, crisp audio notifications and the Wi-Fi range extender is a game changer, eliminating any connectivity issues. Easy to install and integrates flawlessly with my other Ring devices. Excellent product, truly deserving a 5-star rating!

    I bought this Ring Chime because it was also a wi-fi extender. Since I have Ring Doorbells and Cameras, the Chime is a perfect item for other RING devices to get better connection to your wi-fi if signals are weak. It is also great as a nightlight as well. =)

    Extremely disappointed with the entire Ring set-up. Bought two doorbells and the pro chime to boost the wi-fi signal as recommended. Both doorbells randomly and independently go off-line every day. It happens so often that I consider the whole system unreliable. I would not recommend it to anyone. Our cable tv uses the same router and is located farther away from the unit than the doorbells but has never gone off-line.

    Hi JAMES.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. At Ring, we understand it is essential to have your Ring doorbell online and working properly so you can keep your home secure. Having a solid connection ensures you do not miss any activity around your home. We are here today to provide you with education to assist you in finding the best solution for your home’s environment.

    It sounds like you are experiencing connection issues with your device. Usually, a device falling offline repeatedly is related to poor wifi connectivity caused by signal fluctuations, channel congestion, or data loss. In rare cases, this can be caused by settings in your router. I have included a link here to an article on our website with more information on troubleshooting steps that you can take to ensure that you have the best possible connection to your network:

    Its an upgrade from our first ring doorbell. Works well. It's nice to know who's at the door and be able to communicate with them from anywhere.

    I was very disappointed to get home and find that the Chime product had already been registered to another user. Not cool putting a returned device back on the shelf to sell as new. Just glad the return was easy.

    Hi DINA.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your experience with Ring is our top priority, and it is important to us that when investing in our products, they meet your needs and expectations. The Ring Chime Pro is designed to work in many environments to provide you with peace of mind and security. Rest assured, we hear you and are here to offer you some help.

    It sounds like the device is not performing as intended. Even with your Chime Pro, your router is still your main source of connection for your Ring device. Ideally, the maximum distance between the router and your device is 20-25 feet with the Chime Pro about halfway between the Ring device and your router. If possible, try moving the router closer to the device. Also, make sure your router is not in a closet or behind furniture, like a sofa, so the router has an unobstructed signal.

    At Ring, your safety and security is our top priority. It is normal for electrical devices to feel warm to the touch. We have included a link here to the safety and information page for the Ring Chime Pro (2nd Gen.): https://ring.com/support/articles/21o4j/Important-Product-Information-Chime-Pro-2nd-Gen. If the device appears to be damaged, discontinue use immediately. If you still have the device in your posession, feel free to reach out to Ring Customer Support for assistance. Click the link here to choose your method of contact: https://ring.com/support/contact-us.

    Additionally, if you have not already, please check out our Ring Community forum where other Ring users like yourself have an open discussion platform to share their experiences, as well as solutions to potential causes for concern: https://community.ring.com/.

    Thank you,

    Ring Chime was easy to setup through the Ring App and has flexible placement due to just needing an outlet to plug into. It can be pair with the Ring Doorbell and other Ring Camera devices if you wish to have it audibly notify you of any motion. I chose to only have the doorbell paired as you can get notification through the app for other camera devices. It has a good compliment of ringtones to choose from. I believe they could have made the device a bit louder as it's not easy to hear if you have music or the TV playing and the chime device is in another room, flexible location options help. You can also buy additional chimes if you have multiple floors in your home. My wife and I are pleased with the purchase and haven't had any issues since installing a few weeks ago.

    Working great so far. Had to go through the connect setup a couple of times before the Ring would connect to the Chime. Once it connected my signal went from 78(lowest) to 40( highest).

    The chime pro works better than all other wifi extenders we’ve tried. Ring has excellent customer service, they walked me through the entire installation process.
