The optional $ 29 Ring Chime or $ 49 Ring
Chime Pro can take care of that.)
The basic Ring Chime is $ 27.99 while
the Chime Pro with Wi - Fi Extender is $ 45.99.
I have a Ring Pro,
Chime Pro, and two Stick Up Cameras with solar panels.
A Wi - Fi extender, mesh network system or buying
Chime Pro will fix this problem.
Also there's no in - home audio, i.e. the doorbell doesn't actually «ring», unless you buy a Chime or
Chime Pro (which also acts as a Wi - Fi extender).
Fortunately, the long cable (which can be painted to match the exterior of your home) helps greatly, but you could also take advantage of the Ring
Chime Pro Wi - Fi Extender (or set up a mesh network using Google Wi - Fi, Netgear Orbi and others) if your wireless signal needs a boost.
The Chime Pro also provides an indoor audio alert, and offers a wider range of tones to play than the Video Doorbell 2 unit.
Unless of course, you get the RVD2 with
Chime Pro.
I plugged in
Chime Pro, and waited for its blue LED to turn on, indicating it was ready for Wi - Fi pairing.
The Video Doorbell 2 set - up routine encourages the user to first connect
Chime Pro to local Wi - Fi, and then connect the doorbell to the
Chime Pro accessory.
But because Ring Video Doorbell 2 connects directly to
Chime Pro (and not my Wi - Fi network), set up is now vastly streamlined.
Once I verified that
Chime Pro was in fact working, it still wouldn't connect to my Wi - Fi network.
On the plus side, once
Chime Pro is connected, it makes the final stages of setting up the doorbell a breeze.
And
its Chime Pro acts as a network extender for Ring products.
Update: This review was updated on March 26, 2018 to include our take on the Ring Spotlight Cam Solar and the Ring
Chime Pro Wi - Fi range extender.
If you do see streaming issues, such as resolution deterioration or loss of signal, you might need to install the camera closer to your router or use a Wi - Fi range extender, such as the Ring
Chime Pro Wi - Fi range extender ($ 49 at Amazon).
You can access
the Chime Pro, and any other active Ring cameras, from the Ring app's My Devices screen.
Once
the Chime Pro is plugged in, a voice prompt will tell you it's ready to set up.
(The $ 49 Ring
Chime Pro does the same thing while also extending your Wi - Fi signal closer to the doorbell.)
The optional Ring
Chime Pro plugs in inside the house to strengthen the Wi - Fi signal to the Ring and provide an extra chime alert inside the house.
If you do that, however, you may want to pair it with the Ring Chime or Ring
Chime Pro, which will, as the name suggests, chime when someone presses the doorbell.
And while we were pleased with the results, setting up
the Chime Pro wasn't a flawless experience.
We installed
the Chime Pro, which also extends your Wi - Fi range.
Home Depot is selling the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and the Ring
Chime Pro for $ 200.
The Chime Pro, which comes in the bundle, acts as a Wi - Fi extender for Ring devices and an indoor chime for doorbell alerts.
Ring makes a Wi - Fi extender, called
Chime Pro, that's designed specifically for Ring devices.

We've been testing one out over the past month to see how it works on a standalone basis and in conjunction with the Floodlight Cam and
Chime Pro accessory we reviewed a couple of months ago, so read on to see what we thought of it.
We currently have Halloween tones available on Ring Chime and
Chime Pros, and will be introducing holiday tones later this month.

A Ring spokeswoman told me that without the Power Kit, Ring
Pro will not get enough power and the internal
chime will ring when you don't want it to, such as when motion is detected.
If you'd prefer, you can turn motion alerts off in the app, along with the Doorbell Cam
Pro's own
chime and your indoor
chime, or adjust the motion sensitivity.
The Doorbell Cam
Pro's square shape won't fit on every doorframe and it's only compatible with mechanical
chimes.
The
Pro Power Kit both ensures that there's constant power to the doorbell so the Ring camera and radio will work and sends the appropriate signal to the

The
Pro Power Kit is an easy - to - install relay harness system that attaches to your current doorbell's
chime.

You'll also have to do a little work at the doorbell
chime — and you do have to have a low - voltage system with a transformer capable of handling 16 volts, which is something I had to upgrade (again, just a very minor wiring job) back when I installed the Ring
Pro.
Part of the setup process involved installing this
Pro Power Kit inside my doorbell's
chime box, which is mounted above my kitchen door.
