Why did my Ring disconnect from WIFI?

Well, let me start by saying that I’ve experienced this issue before, and it can be quite frustrating. There are a few possible reasons why your Ring device disconnected from your Wi-Fi network. Let me walk you through some of them.

Firstly, it’s possible that you may have temporarily lost power. This can happen due to various reasons like a power outage or a circuit breaker tripping. When the power comes back on, your router and Ring device may take some time to reconnect to each other. In some cases, you might need to manually power cycle your router and Ring device to reestablish the connection.

Another reason could be a loose wire in your router setup. If a wire becomes loose, it can disrupt the connection between your router and the Ring device. Make sure to check all the connections and ensure that they are securely plugged in. If you find any loose wires, simply reconnect them properly.

Changing your Wi-Fi network password can also cause your Ring device to disconnect. When you change the password, you need to reconnect your Ring device to the network using the new password. This can be easily done through the Ring app by going to the device settings and updating the Wi-Fi network credentials.

Additionally, low power can also be a culprit. If your Ring device is suffering from low power, it may struggle to maintain a stable connection. Ensure that your Ring device is properly charged or connected to a power source. In some cases, you may need to replace the batteries or recharge the device to resolve the low power issue.

Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that environmental factors can also impact the Wi-Fi signal strength and cause disconnections. Thick walls, long distances between the router and the Ring device, or interference from other electronic devices can all contribute to a weak Wi-Fi signal. Consider optimizing your Wi-Fi network by placing the router in a central location, minimizing obstructions, and reducing interference from other devices.

There can be various reasons why your Ring device disconnected from your Wi-Fi network. It could be due to a temporary power loss, a loose wire in your router setup, changing the Wi-Fi network password, low power in the Ring device, or environmental factors affecting the Wi-Fi signal. By troubleshooting these potential issues, you should be able to reconnect your Ring device to the Wi-Fi network and restore its functionality.
