Disabling Amazon Sidewalk on Ring Devices
As reported by Wired and other outlets, on June 8th, 2021 many Alexa-enabled devices such as select Ring cameras and smart devices will automatically create a shared network across the United States for authorized devices by carving out a little bandwidth from their host networks. The only way to prevent your devices from participating is to opt out. Maybe you are not interested in sharing even a small amount of bandwidth with other devices, perhaps you are wary the types of security issues which may come along with new communication protocols, or maybe the opt-out model does not sit well with you.
