Hi,
I have an AIO and Gateway fitted in the autumn last year. Lots of problems, but eventually seemed to be working. Now the AIO stops communicating its data about once a day. Carries on working, but no data. I can get data back by switching the AIO OFF and ON, but this is not a workable solution everyday.
I have read several posts on this subject, but have not found a solution in them.
My AIO and Gateway are connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi through a TPLink. The installer had problems with the comms initially, but got it more stable by applying a static IP address and using port(?) 7654. Now it all seems unreliable again.
Grateful for any advice folks can give.
I have Gen3 Hybrid Inverter and TP Extender, rather than AIO kit but if there’s a LAN socket on your AIO inverter, try connecting your TP Link Extender directly, using an ethernet cable.
There is a LAN socket on the AIO. I’ll have a look at getting this connection instead of the wifi. Have you found a LAN connection more reliable than wifi? I’ve seen comments that say it does make a difference and some that don’t.
Do you know if a LAN connection all the way back to the router is better than to the TP Extender?
BTW, I’ve noticed that there are times when the comms stops but restarts again a few minutes later, rather than my having to switch the AIO OFF and ON again to reset it. In the no-comms period the data is lost i.e. it does not store it in a buffer for later transmission when comms is restored. I wonder if it is that the comms has failed or that the AIO has just decided not to transmit?
