Has anyone had any troubles wiring their doorbell without using the supplied pigtail adapters? I just wrapped my existing wires around the screws and tightened them a bit (which is what the RCA manual says to do), but noticed the doorbell was rebooting as I was screwing it down, so maybe I didn't tighten things down enough. The doorbell was very flaky after install, it would appear to lose all connectivity for a few seconds if I tried to pull up the live feed on the app, or hit the web UI. Pinging the IP showed a huge amount of packet jitter and loss over time. My first thought was that it's not getting enough voltage, but I tested and it looks like I've got an 18v transformer. Is there anything else about my transformer/wiring that could be causing not enough power to get to the doorbell? My house is 100+ years old...
Going to reinstall the doorbell using the pigtails tonight. If that doesn't work then I guess it must be too far away from my router, which is < 30ft away on the second floor. It's a pretty nice router and I've never had signal issues in the past, I can stream audio to a chromecast way out in a shed in my back yard, the doorbell is about half that distance. But I guess maybe the wifi adapter on the doorbell is probably crappier, and there are 3 walls between them instead of 1. Hopefully it's nothing that a $25 repeater can't fix... any other ideas?
