Ring Outdoor Camera Plus Keeps Disconnecting
Does your Ring Outdoor Camera Plus keep dropping offline and reconnecting? Here are the checks you can safely carry out before contacting support.
What This Problem Means
A camera that repeatedly disconnects almost always has a marginal wifi signal, an unstable network or a low battery rather than a hardware fault. The fix is usually to strengthen the connection or power at the camera’s location.
Common Symptoms
- The camera goes offline and online repeatedly
- Device Health shows a fluctuating or low signal
- Live View works intermittently
- You get repeated offline and online notifications
Safe Checks You Can Try
1. Check the Battery
Open Device Health and check the battery level. A battery running low can cause repeated disconnects. Charge or swap the pack if needed.
2. Check Signal Strength
In Device Health, check the wifi signal (RSSI) at the camera’s location. A weak or borderline signal is a common cause of repeated disconnects.
3. Move the Router or Add a Chime Pro
Position your router higher and more centrally, or add a Ring Chime Pro between the router and camera to extend the signal.
4. Restart Your Network
Unplug your modem and router for 30 seconds, plug them back in, and allow them to fully restart. Then check whether the camera holds its connection.
5. Reduce Network Congestion
Too many devices on one band can cause drops. Where possible move other devices to the 5GHz band so the 2.4GHz band is less crowded for the camera.
