I then began to regularly check the Wi-Fi for both the Chime Pro and the Doorbell. I turned off the power to the Chime Pro, waited a minute or so, then turned it back on and the Doorbell re-connected automatically. I then forgot about but, after several weeks, I noticed that the Doorbell had lost its connection to the Chime Pro. When the connection was complete, the Doorbell RSSI was good – under Minus 50. This was easy using the Ring App on my phone. I then connected the Doorbell to the Chime Pro. The signal strength received by the Chime Pro was minus 50 (or better). When connected directly to my Router via Wi-Fi, the Doorbell shows an RSSI of around minus 73 but it still works well.Įven so, I decided to install a Wi-Fi extender, so I bought a Chime Pro and located it between the router and the doorbell but closer to the doorbell – about 1 metre or 3 feet away from the doorbell. Minus 60 to minus 70 is reasonable or OK while minus 70 and lower is not so good and lower than minus 80 is bad. Minus 56 to say Minus 60 is still good enough.

no loss) and minus 100 is no signal (full loss).Īn RSSI of say minus 55 or better is considered “Good” for most normal use cases.

Consequently, the closer the value is to Zero, the stronger (or better) the signal. More correctly, it measures the loss as the values are a MINUS figure. It is a measure of the strength of the Wi-Fi signal being received by the device. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI – Explanation – The Ring Apps (Health) show the strength of the Wi-Fi signal measured as RSSI. On the other hand, I have found an issue with the Wi-Fi extender built into the Ring Chime Pro that, at least in my case, is an addition to the “CONS”Īfter further observations, the issues with Wi-Fi seem to be related to the Doorbell 2. Therefore, I will remove this from the “CONS” and put it in a new “SHOULD BE AWARE OF” list.ĬHIME PRO WI-FI EXTENDER CARE!

Callers seem to wait for a response well beyond the delay time and, if they become impatient, they tend to press the doorbell again. This negative feature has been less of a problem than I first thought.
