Internet connectivity issues with your Ring Alarm Base Station

Identify and troubleshoot what is causing your Alarm Base Station to have internet connectivity issues.

Top reasons your Alarm Base Station may be offline

  • Your location's internet may not be working, or your internet service provider is experiencing high traffic.
  • You recently changed your wifi network, wifi password or internet service provider (ISP).
  • You moved to a new location.
  • Your Ring Alarm Base Station may be too far from your wifi router.

Troubleshooting your internet connectivity issues with your Ring Alarm Base Station

  • Make sure your Ring Alarm Base Station has your most up-to-date wifi network and password.
  • Check other devices around your location to see if they are connected to wifi. If other devices are not working, there may be an outage in your area.
  • Reboot your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in again.
  • Join another network by switching your Base Station to the new wifi network.
  • Connect your Base Station directly to your router using an Ethernet cable.
  • Unregister* your Base Station if it is not powering on, or is not appearing as available under
    Devices
    in the Ring app. After unregistering your Base Station, follow
    to connect it to wifi.

* Unregistering your Alarm Base Station is only recommended if you want to completely remove the device from your Ring account.

Note: All Z-Wave devices and Ring Alarm security devices will need to be factory reset before they can be added to a new Base Station.
