Very poor signal strength

I have a Ring Doorbell at my front gate and the WiFi signal has just become very weak there.  What is the routine for re booting the system.

I use Apple iPhone. My system is : Orbi92, Router RBR40 and three RBS20 units.

    Try power cycling the system OFF for 1 minute then back ON.

      It might be useful to more details about the situation, such as:

      • Which specific model of Ring doorbell is this?
      • What is the distance between the Ring and the Orbi units in the house?
      • How was it determined that signal strength has "become weak:?
        Does the Ring app report WiFi strength?  (I do not have a Ring)
      • Has anything "changed" about the installation?  WiFi can be sensitive to obstacles in the direct radio path between devices.  Moving a WiFi unit just a few feet can affect signal strength.
      • Does the Ring no longer function?

      Thanks
