Best practices for Chime Pro

• When setting up, plug in Chime Pro close to your wifi router.
• Once set up, move your Chime Pro halfway, where possible, between the router and the Ring devices that need a better wifi connection.
• Check your Chime Pro's signal strength

  to make sure it is receiving a good wifi signal from your router.
• If your Chime Pro has trouble re-connecting, it might be due to interference. Some causes of interference include:
  • Materials such as stucco, brick or concrete.
  • House appliances likes microwaves.
• Make sure your wifi can provide adequate upload speeds for your Ring devices through the Chime Pro. Chime Pro has a recommended minimum upload speed of 2 Mbps per device. Significantly lower upload speeds can cause poor video quality and other performance issues. Contact your internet service provider if upload speeds are insufficient.
