How Firmware Updates on Ring Devices

Firmware is a software program embedded into your Ring device that keeps it functioning properly, and is automatically updated.

Warning! Do not remove your Ring device from power or press the Setup Button while your Ring device is updating.

Battery-powered devices can’t be used while firmware is updating. When the light on your device stops flashing or goes dark, the update is complete and your device is ready to use.

Wired or plug-in devices can be used while updating, but performance can be temporarily affected. When the light on your device stops flashing, the update is complete and performance returns to normal.
