I always feel that it’s the weekend when I have to contact support teams 
. I guess it’s my fate to have to wait the extra 2 days lol
Did you ever get a fix? I installed the doorbell today and it works, records, streams, etc. After a couple of hours it’s offline and pulsing yellow. I reset it once and could add it back to my network as a new doorbell but then it happened again a couple of hours later, if that.

Seems like we’re having the same issue. Doorbell worked fine for a little while, then we were getting nuisance hits so I toned it down one notch, then realized we weren’t getting any hits. It’s offline and I can’t get it to reconnect.
Same here. To say it is frustrating is an understatement. I tried connecting the doorbell to a wifi extender that is literally 8 ft. away and the same thing happens. The only way to get it back connected is to power cycle the doorbell by flipping the breaker or disconnect wires.

I am having the same issue. Doorbell worked fine for several days, then went offline. Voltage was good and all connections were tight, but no light on the doorbell. It seemed to go offline overnight when the temperature dropped to 29 degrees F. I verified that the jumper connections were still tight, cycled power to doorbell and still no light. I had to reset the unit with the reset button on the back of the doorbell to get it to function again. I have the latest firmware as of 1/17/2020. I am waiting on a call from Eufy, but I think this one is going back to them. Doing weekly resets is just not an acceptable solution.
… FOLLOW UP AFTER EUFY TECH SUPPORT! …
Tech support seems to think this is not an uncommon problem and that dismounting the doorbell and resetting it is an acceptable solution. If I had to pop the hood on my car to reset it’s computer once a month, I would be looking for another car!

I’ve had mine installed for maybe a month now and am having the same problem; constant disconnects. I then have to press and hold the button for 5 secs to get the amber light and restart it via the app. From there, it’s fine for an undetermined amount of time. Sometimes a couple days, sometimes a couple hours. Starting to feel like I should’ve kept my Ring doorbell.

Any solution on this issue?. I have exactly the same problem and I’ve called customer support just to let me know that this issue is “rare” and I should sent it back for replacement
Has there been any resolution to this issue? I just had the same thing happen. Purchased a new 2k Doorbell, worked perfectly for 2 days, now won’t connect. Have even tried moving the homebase very close to the door. Very disappointing QA/QC for an expensive product.

I’ve had mine for a week or so, it disconnects almost every day, I think it’s an ISP thing, the internet drops for about 30 seconds, when it comes back up, my wired doorbell is “Offline” and the only way to bring it back is to do the “hold the button for 5 sec. Thing” this is ridiculous, my $50 doorbell at the back door recovers in seconds, so do all my cameras, garage door opener and switches.
So if I’m on vacation or at work the doorbell is useless until I can manually reset it? That’s a joke no?
I’m disappointed, I really wanted to like this doorbell, but this is unacceptable.
I’ve got the same problem with mine. Worked fine for a few months but over past couple of weeks nothing. Wifi connects. Doorbell sound works. Diagnostic says it’s good. Reset from APP doesn’t connect. Disconnected Power and still nothing. I’ll try uninstall app and reinstall but this is ridiculous.
So this issue started happening to me on Day 2 and I have not found any remedy!
I was wondering if there was something in common with these issues!
- I am using Verizon FIOS for my internet
- I have a Netgear router
My router is less than 50 feet from the doorbell.
Did anyone solve the issue?
I have removed and re-added the device
I reset to default and re-added - with no help
I uninstalled the application and reinstalled - no luck
I tried an iphone in case that was the issue - no luck
I had even removed power and turned it back on. No luck.
I never found a solution.
I was so impressed how easy it was to install in my vacation property. Now I am beck home I have the same problem. It is of NO use to me if it requires resetting every few days.
same here, installed the doorbell three days ago and this morning it was …offline. If Eufy doesn’t offer a proper solution or if I cant find a solution that works for me I will sent it back immediately
Same problem here with my eufy battery doorbell.
I also got a NETGEAR router (orbi RBK50). I try to add the homebase into the dmz but same issue… Very disapointing…
I have had my doorbell for a couple of months and I have found it works well, although the fact that it often has to be refreshed as streaming ceases for some unknown reason.
But over the last couple of days it has been showing as offline, which is very annoying, and despite my best attempts I just cannot get it back online.
Can someone please assist with this issue
I have just purchased the Eufy Homebase 2 with the battery doorbell camera. the camera worked well for about a day then reported to be offline. I fully recharged the battery, the light on the doorbell turned a reddish orange, I added the doorbell to the base station again but always got the reply “camera not connected”. I tried a few more times and the camera reconnected but upon waking this morning and checking the camera the doorbell is reporting “camera offline” again. The camera position is on the wall to the front of my house, the base station is on a table less than 1 meter away (through the wall), the wireless signal next to the bell is showing as excellent on my Wi-Fi analyser…
Has anyone got any ideas??
The main cause for this is the fact that the Homebase and Doorbell use a busy wifi channel, because the idiots at anker thought it would be smart to NOT provide user control to set the wifi channel it uses for its homebase. Pathetic. It’s in the cheapest of wifi routers.

I just had the same problem :\ After restarting the homebase and switching connection from the homebase to use Wifi instead of cabled internet the doorbell connected again.
