Why can’t my inverter connect to Wi-Fi?

If your inverter won’t connect, check these common causes.

  • Router is only broadcasting on 5GHz (needs 2.4GHz).

  • Router security is set to WPA3 (needs WPA2).

  • SSID or password entered incorrectly.

  • Signal strength is too weak (RSSI < 60%).

Troubleshooting:

  • Stand near the inverter with your phone to test Wi-Fi signal strength.

  • Try separating your Wi-Fi into 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
