Unfortunately what Ring don’t make completely clear is that the Chime Pro is not a generic WiFi extender: you can only use it with your Ring devices. One of the big advertised benefits of the Ring Chime Pro is that it acts as a WiFi extender, giving you better range (and hence reliability) of your other devices throughout the house. Ring Chime units are great, but sometimes they can mess up or reset themselves – leading you to look like this: The latest Chime Pro model also has a night-light, which you might not think too much about, but it’s really handy if you’re going downstairs at night.This can be really useful if some of your Ring devices are struggling with poor connectivity and you’re occasionally losing video footage, or clips cut off before the 1 minute mark. The Chime Pro also acts as a WiFi extender, meaning that your Ring cameras and doorbells can connect to the Chime Pro and get better WiFi range.This is particularly useful if you sometimes have prank ‘doorbell ringers’ overnight.
