Common Causes:

Weak Wi-Fi signal strength (RSSI below -70 dBm) at the doorbell location.
Incorrect Wi-Fi password entered during setup.
Interference from other 2.4 GHz devices (e.g., microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices).
Router firewall settings blocking Ring device communication (ports blocked).
Firmware update failure during initial setup.
Incompatibility with Bell Giga Hub or Rogers Ignite default router settings (DHCP issues).

Important Warnings:

Never attempt electrical work without proper training and safety precautions. Always disconnect power at the breaker before handling any wiring. Protect your data privacy by using strong, unique passwords for your Ring account and Wi-Fi network. Be aware of the physical security risks associated with smart doorbells and consider measures to prevent tampering.

Step-by-Step Fix:

1

Verify Wi-Fi signal strength at the doorbell location using a Wi-Fi analyzer app (e.g., Wi-Fi Analyzer on Android or iOS). Aim for RSSI above -60 dBm.
2

Double-check the Wi-Fi password entered during setup. Ensure it is case-sensitive and matches the router configuration.
3

Temporarily disable 5 GHz Wi-Fi on your router to force the Ring device to connect to 2.4 GHz only during setup.
4

Power cycle the Ring doorbell by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source or pressing the reset button (consult the device manual).
5

Check your router's firewall settings. Ensure that ports 80, 443, and 8883 are open for outbound traffic.
6

If using a Bell Giga Hub or Rogers Ignite router, check the device list to ensure the Ring doorbell has obtained a valid IP address. Assign a static IP address if necessary.
7

Factory reset the Ring doorbell (consult the device manual) and repeat the setup process.

Technical Background:

Ring doorbells rely on a secure Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz recommended) to the user's network. The setup process involves device discovery, credential exchange, and firmware updates. Error P1-64 usually arises from a disruption in this process. Signal strength (RSSI/dBm) plays a crucial role; a weak signal can prevent successful setup. Authentication involves secure handshakes (WPA2/WPA3) and device registration with Ring servers.
