Door bell Access on App

[geejay]

From receiving a notification to the amount of time it takes for the Google home app to show the doorbell camera means that whoever has rung my doorbell has usually left.

Doorbell appears to have no WiFi issues (Approx 3-4 meters from Router) phone i am using is also connected to the Wi-Fi with no issues, but the google home app is tediously slow, have tested using my next door neighbours ring doorbell which when hooked up to my Wi-Fi  works perfectly & is located further away than the google doorbell, anyone got any suggestions on how to make this work/speed it up?

The notifications are instant and work perfectly on the phone, nest minis broadcast immediately and the doorbell once I’m able to get this visible on my phone works perfectly, but this takes between 2-3 mins to show up.

Hey there,

Thank you for bringing up the concern you're experiencing, I would love to look into this further for you. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to restart your device. This process should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.

Best regards,
Brad

Hi Brad, already reset and factory reset

@geejay

How far away is the doorbell from the Wi-Fi router? Have you tried to switch Wi-Fi channels for the doorbell?

Best regards,

Brad

Hi Brad, doorbell would be approx 3-4mtrs from the router, it is on the 2.4Ghz range, have tried Chanel 6,8 & 10. Router, Doorbell, phone (happens on 2 different phones so unlikely to be this) have all be rebooted

Hey folks,

Great troubleshooting so far, let’s further check this — could you share your download and upload speed? Run your internet speed here: https://goo.gle/2JaUmYI. The page would show your download speed then click “Show more info” to check your upload speed.

I appreciate the help, Brad.

Thanks,

110mbp download and 19mb upload, should also mention im a network engineer, there is no issues with the network in the house. I have a friend bringing his doorbell round, i suspect the issue is a fault on the device.

Hi geejay,

Understood — let’s have a better look. Factory reset your doorbell. If you have important video clips, save it first.

Here’s how:

1. Locate the reset pinhole at the back of the doorbell.
   
   
   
   Tip: The reset pin on the Nest Doorbell (battery) is located below the USB port on the back of the doorbell.
2. Insert and hold the pin (you can use an unfolded paper clip or a thumbtack):
   • At 10 seconds, the status light will blink yellow four times, and you’ll hear a countdown tone.
   • At 12 seconds, the status light will be steady, solid yellow while the doorbell starts the factory reset, and you’ll hear a confirmation tone.
3. Release the button. Your doorbell will restore to its factory settings.
4. After the factory reset, your doorbell will appear as “Offline” in the app until you remove it.
5. To remove it from the app, open the app, then tap Settings > Remove device > Confirm.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

JT
