I don't know which Ring post CrimpOn was referring to. I found a very long string of posts with various fixes but some were years old and subsequent comments said that problem had been fixed... In the meanwhile, I moved the Ring Chime to a plug closer to the camera and got a better signal. When I previously had it in that plug, in the ceiling by the garage door opener, it would not connect to Wi-Fi. But I realized that was before I had ORBI. The RBS50's signal is strong enough to reach it there. Now it's closer to the Spotlight Cam, so both signals are better.
So far, so good. Per my original post, another camera has a similar problem. It's working now, but I may have to do more digging to find the post CrimpOn is referring to.- FURRYe38Apr 15, 2020Guru - Experienced User
