If you are experiencing problems with your Ring Doorbell, you may want to perform a factory hard reset on the device. Here’s how its done.
- Locate the orange button located physically on the back of the doorbell.
- Press and hold the orange button for more than 15 seconds.
- Release the button after 15 seconds. The light on the front of the doorbell should flash a few times indicating the device is resetting.
- Let the device complete the reset for about 5 minutes, and the hard reset should be completed.

I connected my ring to be hardwired! But the Health feature shows that it is operating under battery! What can be done about this?

My ring had been working perfectly. Now it only records cars going down the street. Never on the front porch. I have reset the motion settings several times
Margie says
I charged the battery but it doesn’t work . Still shows batter is low even thought I tried to reset. Can’t get to orange button in back. I have only had the Ring 2 installed s once April. So what’s going on . I have charged once and it worked fine. Now it does not work. What going on? Not happy with it. Takes too long to let me know there’s someone at the door.

Have had the ring doorbell installed for about six months and it has worked very well with my smart phone. Now it has failed and now my smart phone says to reset link which has been sent to my email address but I have not received such link on my email address. What gives? How do I reactivate the ring doorbell so I can view the results on my smart phone?

Installed Ring doorbell2 on my holiday home in the Caribbean home in January 2019. Had someone remove the battery for recharging in May 2019. Now my Phone says “please install a device”. I am in North America. Any suggestions..?
Ken Parker says
My front door RING is hardwired and failed 3 days ago (no connection). Reset per instructions, rebooted router.
Are there other suggestions?
Larry Damron says
My ring stopped connecting to the router after working for 5 months. We use 2 phones. Will using 2 phones change the operation of the Ring? We removed it from the doorbell wiring and put it on charge.
Also now we reset the Ring. We waited 5 minutes. The blue ring lights up to about 10:00 Oclock, and it seems stuck there. What do we do now?

tried to charge it.I plugged it in and it won’t charge.It wasn’t glowing white in the ring and the
red blinking on the black top was there but now that’s gone too.It’s just blank.I’m not sure what
I’m supposed to do.If you have any helpful advice I would really appreciate it.

@Bob – I would purchase a ring screwdriver. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PZ2WSL2/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=technipages00-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07PZ2WSL2&linkId=4603e3f3a60aded7e6dd564583c42e61
