Ring Door Bell

- Solution: Hi I have just spent the day troubleshooting Ring and Orbi and have found out the following.
If your Orbi is set to a 2.4ghz wireless channel over 11 the Ring doorbell will not see your wifi. As the wireless channel is auto selected this would explain why some users have no problem and other users cannot connect.
Disabling/enable mu-mimo and beamform will sometimes cause a channel change hence why it helps some users. But it is nothing to do with the problem and can be left on or off.
So if you want your Ring doorbell to work select a wireless channel below 11 in your Orbi wifi conf.
Hello Ineedamonk
Did you ever get your cameras back on the network?

No. We are still working on it. I've taken everything down but one camera. The ring has much more trouble seeing the network then my phone does. Not sure why Orbii has this difficulty. Continuing to troubleshoot with Ring folks.
Had same sort of problem however with good support from Ring folks it was eventually remedied....FYI they remotely access network setting.....good product when it functions properly.
Chris,
Installed Orbi yesterday and just encountered my first connection drop on Ring floodlight cam. Any idea what support did to correct your issue by accessing network settings remotely? Thanks.
Hello Dan
Have you disabled Beamforming and MUMIMO? We are working to fix these disconnect issues but disabling those 2 settings have helped people with ring and nest products.
