I just used 2 4 since it travels farther and has more than enough speed for my pro to handle.
Ring doorbell pro 2 4 or 5ghz.
Go with whatever makes your ring work best.
As you said this is where 5 ghz can falter to some extent.
Video doorbell pro and video doorbell elite.
How do i force my ring doorbell pro to get to the 2 4ghz band rather than the 5ghz band.
5ghz provides higher bandwidth speeds but has more limited range and doesn t penetrate walls quite as easily as 2 4ghz does.
Ring chime will only work on a 2 4 ghz network however ring chime does not need to be on the same network as ring doorbell or ring doorbell pro.
What is the recommended internet speed for ring video doorbell pro.
Everyday that i can learn something new that s a good day.
I ve measured the signal strength at my door with other devices and they re strong.
I m hoping this will make a better connection to my router.
Also i did a little experimenting with my recently purchased ring chime pro it is wi fi 2 4 ghz and 5 ghz dual capable.
This isn t only an industry standard but a no brainer when it comes to the customers.
These two video doorbell models work with 2 4ghz networks as well.
Although the ring pro is compatible with both a doorbell is commonly mounted in an area far from the router and beyond an exterior wall.
I don t know of any ring settings in the pro doorbell that would stop or allow 5 ghz.
The main differences are chime pro extends wifi coverage for ring devices has dual band 2 4ghz 5ghz wifi connectivity vs 2 4ghz only a built in nightlight and guided feedback during the setup process to help you find the best location for your chime pro.
Kjacques1 nir76 i just discovered in addition to the video doorbell pro the video doorbell elite and the video doorbell 3 plus also are 5 ghz 2 4 ghz capable.
On a ring support products page i found the 5 ghz band utilizes select channels through 36 and channel 165 which kind of implies that ring products can use all these channels.
Today is a really good day for me.
But for some reason the doorbell signal strength is weak.
In addition to connecting the pro to 2 4 it s a great idea to connect all indoor 5ghz compatible devices to the 5ghz network to avoid too much.
The reality is that the ring pro or really any smart doorbell home security product etc is never going to need the extra bandwidth that the 5ghz band provides so 2 4ghz should be sufficient in most cases.
The 5 ghz band is generally less congested and offers better overall throughput so it s entirely plausible that a weak 5 ghz signal offer better performance than a strong 2 4 ghz signal especially if there are a lot of 2 4 ghz networks showing up.
However in addition to other more advanced features video doorbell pro and elite offer 5ghz connectivity.
It should be able to connect.
For best streaming performance.
I was unaware the ring video doorbell pro could use 5 ghz.
