Modem Boost

I just installed a RING doorbell and video, the RING does not work due to a weak WIFI signal, will the EX5000 range extender boost my current Comcast Modem to allow the Ring to connect?

    Maybe? Its tough to say 100%

    Reason why is the doorbells are mounted outdoors and many get attached to brick or metal siding. Which is excellent at blocking wifi signals. So its worth a chance but it isn't something we can say 100% how much it'll help without actually trying it.
