Like updated firmware or software will stop RF jamming. Yes, it can send a notification if jammed but the main purpose of that "high tech" WiFi device is still defeated.

Still a piece of crap if you ask me

Why should any of this be surprising to anybody, WiFi Jammers have been around for many years now(if that is what actually happened), Hard wire your Gear!

The general public is completely clueless to information like this. Its actually nice to see a rather large local news station running a story like this. Its incredible to me to see the general public act like ostriches with their heads in the sand when it comes to surveillance cameras, especially the crappy Ring brands.

I have been warning about wifi jamming starting when I join the forum. It is very simple to do. For an old ham radio operator and builder, simple. Wait till some smart kid start turning on your microwave and turning off your refrigerator. I do not use any IOT devices. I have one tv on wifi and the phones that is it.
