INITIAL EXPERIENCE THEN 2 UPDATES -
Having experienced loss of Wi-fi signal in the last few weeks for some unknown reason and previously putting off getting a chime. I opted to buy the Wi-fi extender with door bell chime , bonus!
(some people might think this is a con buying an extra device to make your doorbell make a noise but I had money to throw away like everyone else)
Having read all the negative reviews about the Wi-fi extender being hopeless I decided to buy one anyway, I often staple my ears to the table or run around the house with scissors just to prove I can’t take advice.
The extender comes in a lovely box which looks and feels the part of something you would buy to make your doorbell make a noise.
The instructions are simple. Plug it in switch it on scan the barcode the thing flashes it connects to your Wi-fi and Bob’s your uncle your doorbell can now let you know someone is at your door, an unusual concept.
Takes a while to work out, I expect as most people are just used to convenient plug and play devices.
I tried resetting it, plugging this in that in , flashy blue light not green, nightlight on off on off , blue green bla bla, unable to join network bla bla
I’m now happy i wasted a lot of money and time comfortable that technology has once again gained the upper hand in destroying all hope for mankind.
As I write this it’s plugged into the wall in front of me, flashing away telling the toaster they are winning.
At some point I will probably contact customer services just so I can revel in the whole experience , pressing buttons and being put on hold. Hopefully I will be transferred a few times and after 20 minutes get cut off.
Things were so much simpler before!
UPDATE 15/06/21
Having spent the night mulling over the fate of Sarah Connor I duly persevered with this device.
I deleted the chime pro in the app and started again. After a number of failed attempts I managed to link doorbell to the chime.
As it stands the doorbell now has a signal.
The chime is installed 2 meters from the door and about 9 meters from the router.
Have given this 3 stars now and Will see how the signal is after a spell .
UPDATE 20/07/21
Since I stuck at it and managed to get it working the signal has not dropped out and the chime works.
The crux is getting them linked. Good luck and don’t let them win.
