Can anyone tell me why the alarm is offline? Does the base need rebooted? Cameras are working fine.

Best answer
Try contacting her internet provider to reboot modem remotely. That might bring the router or wifi back online.

@refinery I’ll try that. Thanks!

@constantin good luck. Just more that sometimes rebooting modem might also require rebooting router which may require u to do physically all devices including cams to come back online. I've had to do that on occasion.

@refinery I’m just sending the hubs up there. It’s 20 minutes away, but oh well. ‍♀️

@vagrom this is my moms unoccupied house. I was hoping to fix the issue on the app to avoid a trip.

@constantin you might need to go, I don’t think it can be fixed from a cell app.

@vagrom sent my husband up there. Thanks for your help!

If WiFi isn’t available at the base station there is absolutely nothing you can accomplish remotely.

@constantin if you are ring protect members it should of failed over to AT&T if WiFi went out

@whiteley6704 I’m not sure what Ring protect is. I have AT&T cell carrier, Comcast internet at my moms house.

Interesting. All of my floodlight and spotlight cams had the same issuse since 12:17pm CT yesterday, though my doorbells, stickup cams, and Ring Alarm are all ok. Weird coincidence.
