Good day and a few questions? 1: Ring door Bell Pro. Do you need any type a transformer? I was told you only need the Chime Pro. 2; Does anyone have the EERO wi-Fi system? I wanted to know because I have 4 ring flood camera lights and 2 ring pro door bells. How many Eero should I get

Best answer
I have eero. It’s based on sqft. The main one is good for 1500, and each additional node covers 1000. I have 3 for ~3400sqft. Works great. Coverage is seamless and strong. Wired backhaul is a plus.

1. Yes, you need a transformer to power the doorbell pro. The chime has nothing to do with that. 2. The WiFi system is more dependent on the size of your home and the layout, not the number of Ring WiFi devices on the network.

Get a UAP AC M its an outdoor antenna that can mesh or run POE, which is much better

Where are you located, what Country? If you are in the US it is assumed that you already have a transformer of adequate voltage but frequently users need a new transformer with 16V 30VA as the pro pulls a lot of power. If you are running both Pro Doorbells off the same transformer it is advised you get. 24V 40VA to support the added power draw. If you are in another country Ring sends you a Transformer as they assume that your existing system is not adequate. Ring Chime Pro has nothing to do with power required, it is an extension Chime and also a WiFi extender. If you are considering a Eero Mesh then you DO NOT need the Ring Chime Pro. One user mentioned using a wired back haul if you can run the cables, that is a far superior back haul over 5Ghz wireless. Wired Does Not lose signal strength due to distance or wall penetration signal lose.

Before I got the ring system I had doorbell’s on the front and back doors. The Electrician could not hook up the front door bell but the back door worked fine. That lasted about an hour later. The doorbell would ring and no one was there. When I came home for work it was still ringing so I cut wires. I can’t rain to days later and the lady told me I should call them. They say I need a bigger transformer. She said the settings could’ve been adjusted. I thought buying these plug-in adapters would work just fine. It worked for one day and that was it. This is my old inside bell in the picture
