If you have a Eufy 2k battery doorbell, you should ensure it is fully charged. If the doorbell battery is low and due to the low power, it will keep going offline.

According to Eufy Wi-Fi router should be 50 ft from HomeBase and 30 ft from the doorbell. If the distance is more than that, you should consider placing the router closer.

Moving the router closer to the Eufy devices will increase the signal’s strength and help to get the doorbell online.
