  2. Wi-Fi Name and Password Requirements:

    • Only letters and numbers are recognized. Avoid spaces and special characters like hyphens and underscores.
    • Both the Wi-Fi name and password are case-sensitive and must not exceed 13 characters.

  3. Signal Strength:

    • Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal near the inverter. Test the signal strength using your mobile device near the inverter.

Special Note for Telstra Users:

  • If using Telstra, ensure you have a 2.4 GHz network available. If not, refer to article Telstra Guest WI-FI Configuration for instructions on creating a 2.4 GHz network.
