My doorbell is offline

1. Check the Wi-Fi connection:

  • Make sure your Wi-Fi connection is stable and not experiencing any signal issues.

  • Try placing the doorbell closer to the router to improve signal strength.

2. Restart the doorbell and router:

  • Turn the doorbell off and on again by briefly interrupting the power.

  • Do the same for your Wi-Fi router. A simple restart can often refresh connections.

3. Check the battery level:

  • Ensure the doorbell is sufficiently charged.

  • Make sure the battery does not drop below 20% to avoid disconnection.

4. Software updates:

  • Check if the doorbell has the latest firmware installed.

  • Software updates can often fix connectivity issues.

5. Check network settings:

  • Make sure your Wi-Fi network does not have restrictions like MAC filtering or firewall settings that could block the doorbell.

  • Also ensure the router is not overloaded with too many connected devices, which can affect performance.

6. Check signal strength:

  • Make sure there are not too many obstacles between the doorbell and the router (e.g. thick walls or metal surfaces) that could weaken the signal.

  • If the doorbell is too far from the router or surrounded by obstacles, the connection may become weak or drop offline. Try moving the doorbell closer to the router or use a Wi-Fi extender to strengthen the signal.

7. Reset to factory settings:

  • Remove the batteries from the doorbell and place them back in (sometimes switching the left and right battery can help).

  • Reset the doorbell to factory settings and go through the setup process again.
