I’m having trouble completing the in-app setup Ethernet Setup If you selected Ethernet Setup during the inapp setup, see the following tips. Why did my ethernet setup fail? Check to see that all your wires are securely connected and try again. Check to see that your Ring Doorbell has power by making sure that the light on the front is glowing. Make sure that your Elite Power Kit is connected correctly - with the ethernet cable plugged into the proper In and Out ports, and the power adapter plugged in and connected to a power outlet. Wi-Fi Setup I still can’t set setup to complete. What now? When prompted to choose your connection type in the app during setup, select Wi-Fi, and see if that works. I’m having trouble with Wi-Fi setup When Wi-Fi setup fails, look at the front of your Ring Doorbell. The light indicates the issue. Left Flashing White indicates a possible issue with your internet connection. Unplug your modem/ router for 40 seconds, plug it back in and then repeat setup.

Nothing If the front light is not illuminated at all, check the connections to your Elite Power Kit, since it is likely that a cable is not connected. Why can’t I find the temporary Ring network on my phone? Sometimes your phone fails to pick up the temporary Ring network.

Select your Wi-Fi network in your phone settings, select the option to forget it, then reconnect to it again to confirm that you’re using the correct password during setup. If none of the above helped… Right Flashing White means your Ring Doorbell may be too far from your router to get a decent signal. If you are unable to connect Ring Elite via ethernet, then you may need to get a Chime Pro to boost the WiFi signal to your Ring Doorbell. Turn off cellular data and bluetooth on your mobile device and try again. Perform a hard reset on your Ring Doorbell by holding down the setup button for 15 seconds, waiting 30 seconds and repeating the setup process. Try performing setup on a different mobile device.
