I have also been in software dev and quality for many many years. If the status is still showing that the Base Station is not connected to your home WiFi, contact our Tech Support line at 1-844-334-3717. So after that initial contact, I tried out several things to see if I could resolve the issue that I found online (basically almost every single theory out there, none of them worked): I put the device on its own routing network to see if it was the Orbi Mesh system that was causing it to go offline every morning. Everything seemed OK, then my Base Station went offline without explanation. I looked online and saw some people who had this issue had it resolved after getting a new unit from Ring, and so I decided to try to get a new one since the one I had completely died and was not responsive at all. If the camera is in a dark area check that the infrared lights surrounding the camera lens are illuminated. The ring base station is on ethernet. If you are outside of the US, please read our response to COVID-19 here to see how to contact support.
(Which, BTW, does NOT help!)
Will it set the alarm off if it goes offline?
Answer: Yes. Consult your router's documentation for how to check and open up ports. The next day, the Ring Pro died, it had the symptoms that it showed the previous day but this time it would not respond at all nor would it turn on even though I had hard reset it. is simply not feasible for me, and I suspect would be a very big hassle for a very large percentage of your users. I can easily reset the base station by pressing the pairing button, but this is becoming a nuisance and I am losing faith in Ring Products. I’ve always have and like to use a clear case on my iPhone as it shows off the natural color of my iPhone in addition to not being as bulky. Sometimes it reconnects to the network, many times it does not. Note: If the Base Station goes offline, you will be unable to access or control your devices through the app, but your device will remain armed, and the Ring Alarm siren will still function. Unplug your router for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. I checked the power at the doorbell and at the transformer itself, both were reading the same voltage so it couldn’t of been that the device wasn’t getting enough power so I decided to try something else and left the 24V transformer there since I had already installed it.
Not here. We have a ruckus system in our home and I've noticed in the past it inferring with aspects of our sonos hi fi system. After 1.5 weeks, it finally came the day that the Pro Power cable and Chime Pro was scheduled to come and resolve all my issues, nope, I decided to install the Chime Pro and the Pro Power cable the next morning and basically the Ring Pro became unresponsive and basically didn’t turn on at all even with the hard rest, after spending 2-3 hours trying to figure it out, I got it on and connected it to the Chime Pro and Pro Power cable (make sure to change the setting in the app to “no doorbell”) and it seemed to be working, but I did notice that the quality of the video while on the 2.4GHz Chime Pro was not as good as on my 5GHz Orbi and so I let that sit overnight praying that it resolved my issues and once again it did not. However, it seems the max time to wait for re-connect should always be no longer than 1-2 hours. Consult your router's documentation for how to check and open up ports. Your product is CRIPPLED when it's not on WiFi! If that light is brightly illuminated, then your Base Station is already successfully connected to WiFi. I later put it back down to 16V since I found that there was no point of putting it at 24V if you have a good working unit.
I didn’t have to remove the cover and reset it as it seemed to reconnect after losing power for around 5 minutes without a problem (I did remove the cover to reconnect it to the WiFi the first couple of times that this happened).
Furthermore, it is not technically possible to "power cycle" the Base as you mention in your post, since it has a battery backup.
