Before You Service or Replace One

  • SKU and generation on box/label — setup flows differ (battery vs wired vs Pro).
  • Wi-Fi band — 2.4 GHz requirement for most models.
  • Transformer (wired doorbells) — voltage and power kit requirements.
  • Ring Protect plan — recording and advanced features vary by subscription.
  • Shared device access — owner vs shared user troubleshooting permissions.
