Lost wifi connection, app offline
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 6:48 pm
I had my system installed last week, and it was working Ok, I think. And then,
This afternoon, my mobile app went offline.
The wifi dongle module on the bottom of the inverter is flashing red quickly, showing no wifi connection.
I've looked around on this site and followed the advice to try resetting the entire system (powered down the inverter, and battery, and then powered it up again). That didn't work.
I tried unscrewing, removing and then replacing the wifi module dongle. Still not working, still the same rapid flashing light.
I followed the advice in this helpful image to connect to the wifi module on my phone; for me, this is W-497A119, which is already stored in my phone's system, with the password mtmt2020 coded in. When I am connected to that network, I then went to 192.168.1.1 on a separate browser and hit enter
Here's where I get something different from what I expect. I get a page asking me to log in to the admin account (which can't be changed, there's no way I can try to log into a different one). If I enter my wifi network password, it gets rejected (abnormal login, as shown in the image below) as does mtmt2020. So I can't get past this to the page where I can select my home network and then put that network password in
Can anyone help me work out how to get my app reconnected, please
