I recently installed a Ring Video Doorbell 3. I am on 1GB internet with a superhub 4. The superhub is in a room at the back of the house upstairs and the doorbell is obviously at the front door. My house isn't big it's a standard 3 bedroomed semi detahced
In the ring app, it was showing RSSI as -70 and sometimes higher, live view would take a while to work and there were other issues
I purchased the Ring Chime Pro which is supposed to be a wifi booster and I put it at the bottom of the stairs near the front door, this bought the RSSI down to -50's but it was a bit unstable. I tried it in other places in the house but it was just as unstable
My next step today was to buy a mesh network. I bought a 2 set of Tenda Nova MW5G, put one next to the superhub as the main one needs to be connected with ethernet and I put one downstairs in the living room, which I would say is about half way apart from the hub and the doorbell. The mesh system improved wifi signal, but it's done nothing to help with the RSSI on my ring doorbell. Still showing as -70's, but it does seem to be working okay, but obviously -70s isn't ideal and it still might cause issues with choppy recordings
I have no idea what the next thing to try is... I just want to get my doorbell on a stable connection. Any ideas ?
