Fixing limited Amazon Sidewalk network coverage

If you are experiencing unreliable connectivity with the Amazon Sidewalk network or your device falls offline often, you can expand Amazon Sidewalk coverage for yourself and your neighborhood by opting into the network on compatible Ring and Amazon Echo devices you already own. Amazon Sidewalk bridges allow any Sidewalk-compatible device to connect to the shared internet bandwidth within your neighborhood. If your neighborhood already has good Amazon Sidewalk coverage, you only need the compatible device. Having a bridge ensures a stronger connection.

If you have Sidewalk bridges, make sure they are online and functional. If you do not, getting any of these Sidewalk bridges will strengthen the Amazon Sidewalk coverage in your area. Learn more about turning Amazon Sidewalk on or off for your compatible devices.
