Ring doorbell live view will not load on your phone
A Ring doorbell with no live view has lost its WiFi signal or your internet is too slow to stream video. Restarting the doorbell and moving your router closer fixes this for most people.
When your Ring doorbell's live view does not load, it means the doorbell cannot connect to your WiFi, your WiFi is too slow to stream video, or there is a temporary problem with the Ring service. We will check your WiFi connection, restart the doorbell, and make sure your internet speed is fast enough for video streaming.
- ✓Have your phone with the Ring app and your WiFi network password ready
- ✓Make sure your internet connection is working — test by loading a webpage on your phone
- ✓Know where your router is located and whether you can move it closer to the doorbell

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Not waiting long enough after restarting the doorbell — it takes 2–3 minutes to boot up and connect to WiFi.
- Checking internet speed on your phone while standing next to the router — the speed changes depending on where you are. Test from the doorbell's location.
- Assuming the problem is the Ring service when it is your WiFi or internet being slow.
