What is Ring Chime Pro (2nd Generation)?

What's the difference between this Chime Pro and the previous Chime Pro (1st Generation)?

Features of the updated Ring Chime Pro (2nd Generation) include:

  • Dual-band connectivity connects to both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.
  • A sleek new look that meshes well with any decor. 
  • A built-in nightlight.
  • Guided feedback during setup that helps you place your Chime Pro during setup.

What's the difference between Chime Pro (2nd Generation) and a mesh network, like eero?

A Chime Pro is a great solution if you want to extend wifi to your Ring devices. Generally, a single Chime Pro can effectively improve connectivity to your Ring devices in a two to three bedroom home, or if your devices are located close together.

For larger homes, with devices located farther apart, you may need to consider purchasing a mesh network system like the eero network. A regular wifi network distributes the wifi signal from a single point, your router. The further the signal has to stretch away from the router, the weaker it becomes.  A mesh network has multiple wifi distribution points that keep the wifi signal strong from different distribution points.
