Ring doorbells
My Ring Doorbell 2 no longer connects reliable to VM Hub 5. This has only been an issue since last week. If I plug in an old 2.4ghz router as an Access Point with a different SSID, into one of the ethernet ports on the Hub 5 and connect the doorbell to that then it works 100% reliable as it did. I tried reset of doorbell to the Hub 5 with separate bandwidths and it does work ok. But as I have Pods, then I have to have combined and optimisation on. The doorbell works for about an hour, and I assume the algorithm then manages the channels etc., and then it stops working. So I have a workaround - additional access point dedicated to the doorbell (hidden SSID). Ring support similar to Virgin Media aren't interested as its old tech ... Ring did hint if I purchase one of their newer doorbells then it handles 5ghz better .. Of course they do, as it will create additional sales but maybe I'm just being cynical.45Views0likes3Comments2.4Ghz not working on hub 4
My hub 4 has no 2.4Ghz working. I've had this hub for a year now and it is only when trying to connect devices that only use 2.4Ghz I have realised it's not working. I am to believe it's a faulty hub as the router manager says 2.4Ghz is broadcasting when its obvious it isn't. I've done all the usual trouble shooting. Even a full factory reset to see if that has helped and this has caused 2.4Ghz to now transmit for maybe 5 to 10 minutes after a reset then disappears again. 5Ghz seems to work fine. Any help would be appreciated8.7KViews0likes40Comments
