Connectivity of Ring Door Bell 3 on Flint 3

Has anyone else faced this. I upgraded to Flint 3 recently from my Asus wifi 6 router. Every device is working in the house except my ring door bell 3. I assume we have pro users here and might know of a setting via LuCI that might help..
I tried separate guest wifi with 2.4 ghz and wpa2 only but ring has the issue connecting and I get P7-07 which is the router unable to provide a connection.

I see this in the logs that shows that its trying to connect but then it fails.

Hi,

Please SSH to the router, and execute the commands, to try to connect again:

uci set wireless.wifi0.hwmode='11ng'
uci commit wireless
ubus call network reload

Hi thanks for the response, but didn't do anything.

I have the exact same issue here - no problem with any other client (that I've identified yet) and the ring doorbell is well within range (other devices can connect)

Okay so I replaced it with the newer model "Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro" in the same position and this works fine. This newer model has a better WiFi chipset.

Hmm unfortunately, not a great solution. I had to switch back to my ASUS router for now.

Hello,

May I know if the 2.4GHz WiFi of Flint 3 is configured to OPEN (no password/key), can the Bell 3 connect to the Flint 3 OPEN WiFi?

Hi,

I am also having the same problem, Ring Doorbell 3 Plus.

I have a 2.4GHz guest network setup with WPA2-PSK which is what I had on my Flint 2.

Can’t get it to connect.

Yes, Ring Door Bell 3 Plus connects to a OPEN 2.4GHz Guest network. I have tried all other security modes but they do not work.

I will not be leaving my network open though, can you please escalate this issue.

Hi,

R&D would like to collect some wireless air interface messages.
We will compile a test firmware later. After you install it, please try matching RingDoor and export the syslog.

If possible, we will send you a test firmware, please let me know.

Sure, I’ll be happy to test. Let me know when the firmware is ready.

Hi,

R&D would like to confirm these info:

  1. What is the WiFi mode that OPEN can connect to during this test, 11b/g/n/ax/be or 11n/g?

11n/g setup by these commands:

  1. If the WiFi mode is in 11b/g/n/ax/be, please verify again whether WPA encryption is effective.
    Please SSH to the router, and execute the commands, to try to connect again:
uci set wireless.wifi2g.encryption='psk+tkip'
uci commit wifi
ubus call network reload

R&D is preparing a hostapd debug firmware.

There are only two options, 11/b/g/n/ax/be or 11ax/be

No, it does not help.

I tried but it did not help.

I also tried changing bandwidth to Auto, 20MHz and 20/40MHz.

These commands appear to be wrong, they don't match the setup moes available in the web interface and when I enter them and try to change stuff on the web interface it tells me illegal parameters.

Can you double check the commands are applicable to this wifi chipset, maybe youre using old commands for the Flint 2?

Impossible, it's not even an option.

Is the VPN turned on?
I have issues with Blink cameras. If the VPN is on, it doesn't work.

I also have issues with my blink doorbell when a vpn is on. I read somewhere that Amazon block vpn use with the doorbells. Since Amazon own Blink and Ring it will be interesting to know if the OP has a vpn turned on.

No, I don't use a VPN.

Hi,

I sent you a debug firmware for Flint3, please check in the PM, the difference is that it enables the hostapd debug log, which will collect more detailed wireless air interaction messages.

  1. Install this firmware manually without keep settings

  2. SSH to the Flint3, execute command logread -f > /root/Flint3_iot_debug.log

  3. Reproduce the issue, like, connecting the doorbell to Flint3 WiFi

  4. Through WinSCP, transfer this log file to the PC and send it to me in PM.

If it is larger over 4M, you can share it through Google Drive or wetransfer.com

Thanks in advance!

You need to send the link again, the original expired.

Checked the PM.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Checked from the log attached in PM, this Door Bell does not support wpa2-aes encryption.

If Door Bell can connect to MT6000, we also want to try it:

  1. In BE9300 GL GUI, 2.4GHz WiFi is set to wpa2-psk encryption

  2. SSH to the BE9300 and execute the following commands:

uci set wireless.wifi0.hwmode='11ng'
uci set wireless.wifi0.htmode='HT20'
uci set wireless.wifi0.legacy_rates='1'
  1. Let Door Bell3 try to connect BE9300 and check again
