I’m a Ring doorbell expert and you must know what flashing white light means

YOU’VE probably noticed that your Ring doorbell flashes all sorts of lights and some are more important than offers.

Most of the time you’ll see blue, but if you see a white light you might want check it out as this could mean your Ring doorbell isn’t functioning as you expect it to.

There are different types of flashes and swishes that the device displays.

If it’s a white light flashing on and off you need not worry, as it’s just the doorbell updating internally.

The white light usually appears during set up so you shouldn’t see it any other time.

But if you do see it, pay attention.

What does the flashing white light mean on Ring doorbell?

If you see the white light flashing on the top of the circle button this indicates a failed set up.

It means the password is incorrect.

This could happen if someone has changed the Wi-Fi password – or if you’ve replaced your broadband hub.

Without an internet connection to your Ring doorbell you can’t monitor who’s outside your house.

If you find yourself in this situation, you’ll need to go into the Ring app and reset each device’s connection.

You can do this by opening the app, selecting each device and going to Device Health.

Tap Change Network.

If you see the white light flashing on the right it means there was an error connecting during set up.

And should the white light flash on the left, it suggests the set up didn’t work for a reason other than incorrect password or Ring network access point. 

The best way to solve any of these issues is through the Ring app.

It’ll guide you on how to fix things.

And if all else fails, it might be worth resetting the device entirely and adding it onto the app again as if it were new.
