New External dongle set up

General Everything Else
1

Hi all

I’ve got an inverter which has an inbuilt dongle but unfortunately it’s stopped working
I have completed a previous post and had so much support but I think the comms on it is faulty

I have purchased a new wi fi dongle for about £40

Can someone please explain to me how exactly I set the new dongle up? Do I take it out of the box, put it into my laptop and copy the serial number from the inverter and change the msn.txt file on the new dongle to what the serial number is of the inverter?

Then plug the new dongle into the usb of the hy5 inverter then connect via my phone or laptop through wi fi connections and go into the settings of the ip address and search for local wi fis?

Is that generally it?

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you :folded_hands:

That sounds about right.

Plus there’s some dipswitches that need to be changed to swap from inbuilt WiFi to dongle.

Search for the installer guide via Google to get the details.

You have to power off the unit, wait till the light go out, change the dip switches, then switch it on again.

This was posted a while ago. It relates to the dip switch positions. Switch settings for built-in Wifi/USB dongle/LAN on Hybrid Gen 3 hope it helps to get you online.

So I’ll put it into USB mode before I out the new dongle in

Really hope it works :face_with_peeking_eye:
