Question

Is there anyway of turning WiFi off my Doorbell and/or Spotlight Cam? Sometimes it uses so much internet I have difficulty streaming on my TV or PC. I have the best internet available on Sky and when I look into it it’s the Cameras that are affecting it. Can’t see anything on the app to suggest this is an option. Would like something that’s quick and easy to turn on and off when I need to.  

Answer 1

Ring cameras only send data streams when there is motion, if your Ring is causing you issues with your internet then you are having too many notifications and need to turn your sensitivity settings down.  

Answer 2

They won’t work without the internet

Answer 3

Your router may have some sort of prioritization. Make your tv and pc top priority and ring cameras lowest.  

Answer 4

Does Sky or your router have an app? I have the Google WiFi router and in the app I can prioritize devices.  

Answer 5

If the cameras are causing problems with bandwidth you may need a better router. Those are not high bandwidth devices.  

Answer 6

Get a router with higher throughout that actually let's you use all your bandwidth

Answer 7

They don't use to much at all. Every one is online due to Covid-19. That is that is using up bandwidth. Try watching Netflix or what ever in 1080 instead of UHD

@aroid10 I learned that through my kids. I have 1080 and they have 4K and that download is much more and also when they download games in their Xbox I went over. They blames me and my Netflix but I told them I always watch the same doe last 3 years. They kept an eye on the usage and they apologized realized it was them downloading many games.
