Why wont my skybell connect to wifi

If you are having trouble connecting your Skybell to your home’s Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure that your Skybell is within range of your Wi-Fi router. If it is too far away, it will not be able to connect. Second, check to see if there are any other devices on your Wi-Fi network that are using up a lot of bandwidth. If so, try disconnecting them from the network and see if that helps. Third, try restarting your Skybell and your Wi-Fi router. Sometimes, a simple restart is all it takes to fix the issue. Finally, if none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Skybell customer support for further assistance.

There are a few potential reasons why your Skybell might not be ringing inside. It could be that the volume on your Skybell is turned all the way down, or that the Skybell is not properly connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network. If you’ve checked those things and your Skybell still isn’t working, it’s possible that there is an issue with the Skybell itself and you may need to contact customer support for assistance.

Fixes For When Your Skybell Isn’t Rining

If you haven’t received any ring inside your home as of this writing, please double-check that your SkyBell HD is sending you a text message and not an email. Tap the Indoor Chime icon in the Device Settings section of your iOS or Android app to confirm that it is activated. If you notice that your SkyBell does not stay connected to power or only turns on when pressed, you may not be able to use it. Examine the device to see if it is not warping, which prevents the device from having a firm metal on metal contact, preventing it from charging.

If the SkyBell HD does not have a battery, your device may be using the internal network for power, but not ringing. Check that your Ring Chime Pro is connected to Wi-Fi and your SkyBell HD is within range of the Chime Pro.

We've had a skybell HD for about 6 months and it's been working mostly fine, we've had to reconnect it to the wifi occasionally when it loses the connection. About 2 weeks ago it lost connection and would not reconnect. After pulling out my hair for hours, I tried a backup one that was brand new in the box. This worked, but only for about a week, after that it disconnected and has been having issues since. I currently cannot get it to connect to the wireless even though I moved the access point into the wall directly behind it. Other devices can connect without any problems, but going through the 'Add a device' always just times out on the last step. Has anyone else noticed anything like this recently? I'm wondering if there was a recent update or something else.

Good Evening!

I have a Skybell doorbell camera that I’ve been attempting to connect. I continue to get the message Unable to join the network “skybell_xxxxxxxxx” and cannot get past this point

I’ve tried everything in the trouble shooting documentation that I can find and have even tried different devices. I am certain that my phone is connected to the 2.4 band. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Phillip

What model of mobile device are you using to perform the setup?

Good Morning!
I have tried on an iphone 6 and and iphone 6S.

Thanks.

Just to verify, from the installation guide, are you exiting the App and trying to connect to the Doorbell temporary SSID in the iPhone settings?

"The syncing process will instruct you to connect to the Doorbell Camera’s temporary Wi-Fi network. The network is named Skybell_123456789 (or SkybellHD_123456789), where 123456789 corresponds to the device’s serial number. On iPhone or iPad, you

must leave the Alarm.com app, enter the Settings app,


select Wi-Fi and select the SkyBell network. "

Yep, I use the alarm.com app until I get to the screen where it prompts me to connect with the wifi connection in the settings. I go to the wife settings and find the Skybell network. When I try to connect to the Skybell network is when I get the “unable to join the network”

What color is the Skybell LED indicator when trying this?

Do you see any other errors or messages other than Unable to Join?

What version of IOS are you using on the devices?

I am seeing a number of results suggesting isues when I search “iPhone unsecured network.” Have you tried resetting the phone network settings?

Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings

It was flashing red and green. I’m on IOS 11.

I was able to acquire a Galaxy S4 and installed the alarm.com app on it. It installed the doorbell camera without any issue.

Thanks for following up. We’ll try to do some testing on IOS 11, but it looks like it is probably an issue with how it connects to unsecured networks.

I am having this SAME issue. iPhone XR iOS 12.1.4 In ADC app, unable to join the network “skybell_xxxxxxxxx” and cannot get past this point I did an apple network reset.

Advice?

Why wont my skybell connect to wifi

After the network reset, have you tried power cycling the phone as well? We have reached out to ADC and will report back additional information as it becomes available.

Yes I tried power cycling the phone. Just for grins I tried to connect with my chrome book. Did not work either. Checking the Internet does not look like this is unheard of…

Please let me know any ideas from ADC dealer support !!!

Thanks

At this time, it is recommended to power cycle the SkyBell. You should completely power down the SkyBell for about 3 minutes before powering it back up and attempting the connection process again. When reconnecting ensure that you are at/near the SkyBell when attempting to connect. Any Change?

If attempting to use an alternate device, pairing would need to be from the Alarm.com mobile app and not the website. Currently, the SkyBell can only be paired via the mobile app, if you have an alternate device to try.

Should power cycling not work, and if no alternate mobile device is available, you will want to factory reset the SkyBell and try the process again.

OK it worked. THANKS
Did this. One of these steps helped.

  • (re)Checked 2.4GHz speed/signal up/down at doorbell location w/speedtest app on iPhone. Good.
  • Deleted “Xfinity WiFi app” & related COMCAST/xfinity “automatic secure hotspot” security profile from iPhone … in greater Philly(COMCAST Corporate HQ)/SNJ these hotspots are “everywhere” it seems
  • Updated to iOS 12.2
  • No other iOS (security)profiles on my phone(i.e. Corporate VPNs, Corporate emails, Corporate “iOS-secured walled” apps etc…)
  • Rebooted phone.
  • Cut power to ShyBell for 5 minutes, wait for completed full reboot per indicator
  • Stood next to doorbell VERY close; iPhone on 5MHz Wifi with ADC app…
  • Did ADC app add doorbell thing, at step for iOS Settings 2.4MHz join to (ADC)Skybell Slim worked!!!
  • Waited patiently per ADC App prompt after joining to Skybell’s temporary WiFi for configuration stuff per the ADC app prompt…
    -entered password for WiFi in ADC app for the SkyBell
  • When prompted manually rejoined (MUCH less conflicted and congested)5MHz WiFi, ADC app left running as I futzed with this step a bit in iOS
    Voila… worked. Set options in ADC app.

Excellent! Yeah the step after joining the SkyBell network (for anyone else) can take a few minutes even when in very close proximity (from personal testing) and I get antsy waiting for it lol.

My best guess here was the doorbell reboot and/or the ios update. Updating ios and mobile app is typically a good place to start when troubleshooting.

Im glad you were able to get connected!
