Connect to your Ring device

The Ring wifi network is a temporary access point that you join briefly during the setup of a Ring device. After you connect to the temporary Ring wifi network, you will connect to your own home wifi network. Then you are no longer connected to the Ring network. Your smartphone may generate a message that says "no internet connection" or similar verbiage in the settings. This is not a cause for concern. You can safely join the temporary Ring wifi network access point and complete your setup.

• iOS

  : Tap Join when the Ring app asks to join the Ring wifi network.
• Android

  : Your device should automatically connect to the Ring wifi network.

If your device does not automatically connect to the Ring wifi network, please follow the steps below:

1. Press the home button on your phone to leave the Ring app.
2. Navigate to the

   • “Ring-” followed by the last six digits of the MAC ID.
   • “Ring Setup” followed by the last two digits of the MAC ID.
4. Once connected, close your

   Settings

   app and return to the Ring app.

Connect your Video Doorbell 3 to your wifi

   • If you have more than one wifi network, select the network closest to where you will be installing your Video Doorbell 3.
2. Enter your wifi password and press

   Continue

   .

Note: After connecting to your wifi network, your Video Doorbell may update its internal software. While performing an update, the light on the front of your device will flash white. Once the light stops flashing, you know the update is complete and you can continue the setup.

Please do not attempt to ring the doorbell at this time, as it will further delay the update.
