Quick comparison of ring chime pro vs wifi extender.
Ring chime pro extender range.
I always recommend to try each option at a time and if you order your chime pro from ring or amazon we ensure a 30 day refund to return it if you want to instead go down the route of the wifi extender.
For example if you have a video doorbell pro that needs 2 mbps upload and download speed your wifi router will need to have an output of at least 4 mbps upload and download speed for the extender to bring high enough speeds to your device this is also why if you already have extenders for your wifi you do not want to connect a chime pro to that extender.
The range extender can be placed up to 250 feet from the base station.
Ring chime pro can only work with ring products therefore if you have a range of other smart devices that you need to integrate the router with then it is better to choose a general purpose range extender.
Free 2 day shipping on orders over 49 requires the ring alarm security kit.
The first difference that any newbie can spot is in their compatibility.
The ring alarm range extender is designed to extend and expand the base station s z wave network allowing for greater range and network coverage for all security devices at your location.
Would wifi range extenders works as well as the ring chime pro.
Can t speak for the chime pro but i have a netgear ex6100 range extender that one of my floodlight cams is connected to and it is rock solid.
Add range extenders throughout your home to extend the signal from your alarm base station to all its components so you can make sure your entire system stays online.
Plug chime pro into any standard power outlet link it to all your ring devices and get ring alerts anywhere in your home.
My experience with the chime pro was very subpar.
A chime pro extends your home wifi network specifically for your ring devices creating a special network that is closer to your router to boost it.
