Question

Does the Chime Pro extend your wifi to a camera like it's supposed to? Worth $50?

Mine died in about two years.

@williawilliam Same here! Actually I should be receiving my replacement today

Answer 2

We have one and it works great!  

Answer 3

No, Extenders are trash

Answer 4

I’d probably go with a mesh system before using it. We had one and it really didn’t work very well.  

Answer 5

100% NOT worth it!  

Answer 6

There was a new one that was just released, don’t know if that provides better results than the original one.  

Answer 7

Works fine for me and the added alert tone in the house is nice

Answer 8

We use one and it works great for our camera.  

Answer 9

Waste of money

Answer 10

Not good waste of money

Answer 11

I have the new one and a mesh system - it allows me to reach the furthest camera out, the only one of 7 - without it the camera was a little dicey! Plus, I love the available tones and nightlight!  

Answer 12

Replaced one that was defective so far

Answer 13

@heyde Bogle range extender. The Chime Pro

@bawl5 You just made my day! Thank you! Same here!

But it does more negative than positive in terms of helping

Answer 15

I had one that came in a ring kit I bought. It definitely works. I put it in my garage. I previously had no wifi in there, and now I have wifi in the garage and my basement. I've only had it about a year, so I cant sat how long itll last (considering a lot of people said itll only last 2 years)

Answer 16

Not worth it.  

Answer 17

My Echo Show does the trick.

@tumefaction50967 -How?

@tumefaction50967 uh.

@tumefaction50967 I don't think you know what you're speaking about.  

Answer 18

Eero mesh.  

Answer 19

I got one free from ring but I WOULD NOT pay for one. Mine's currently unplugged because it is so temperamental.  

Answer 20

The thing about WiFi extenders are they cut the available bandwidth signal in order to extend it.  

Answer 21

I bought a chime pro when I got my floodlight. I had to try it in a few places before I found the best placement. With that said, it has served me well for over 2 years. In addition it gives me an alert tone in my house. Which is handy because I sleep with my phone on silent.  

Answer 22

I have 4 Doors and 7 windows to access the home. Chime pro let’s me know if someone is walking in one of them or compromising security with a friendly “bloop bloop” as the door or window is opened. I have a pool and kids so it’s my first defense when a door or window is open when I’m home. It works through the ring alarm and the retrofit kit. The doorbell is also tied to it, so we know when expected company has arrived. Best thing about ring is that little bloop bloop.  

Answer 23

I have google wifi which works on mesh technology. Everything works fine without the chime pro extender. I do have an extender, but I don't use it as an extender, I use it as a chime. So I'm paying for something but I don't really use the full functionality. Still, I like the chime each times one of my cameras has an alert. When I hear the chime, I check my app. It's less annoying than all of those notifications on my phone. Or if I don't have my phone on my person.
