Thank you Paul.
So hopefully you are now all up to date with FW and WiFi Chipset 0n both AIO & GW.
Let’s now get you sorted on the Network. Have you decided what you would like to now do? Stick with WiFi or Ethernet?
Guessing you’re still going with WiFi. Please follow the WiFi config and connectivity guide video above. (This is very good advice and works 95% of the time)
Thoughts, hopefully your WiFi was set back to AP, please ensure you delete any settings on your router before you start. I personally would set up a vLAN for GivEnergy stuff on 2.4 only with WPA2. Keep the network settings very basic to start. Once you get connection see if it is stable and is in the GE cloud. We can then go from there.
Thanks all. All upto date.
Sticking with wifi for now, I cant run any more cables outside my house or I shall need to seek planning permission from the wife.
Lets see how this plays out.
I think what im seeing is more like this GivEnergy Inverter networking | …but no idea
Where they get the occasional timeouts but then it springs back into life. Might just be one of those thing.

It is good to know what I have been saying helps others and someone has posted it’s fixed.
I’ve also been having a lot of issues with my AIO being online via my Deco mesh network.
I’ve managed to paper over the cracks by using an old 2.4ghz wifi extender.
GE support have told me that my firmware for the wifi AIO is the latest - it’s v.9xx.
GE have also told my installer that “some sort of big update is currently happening” which may be causing these issues.
Seems I’m being told a few different things from different people at GE. Quite frustrating.
make sure you have fast roaming turned off on the Deco mesh. I have the mercusys mesh which is the cheaper version of Deco, and with fast roaming on the inverters disconnect quite readily
if you are using the DECO then you might want to go into the Deco APP and find the AIO device, and then turn off the “Mesh” capabilities to that device.
The mesh could make it jump from 1 AP to another, and it might not like that !
But it seems long term using an 2.4Ghz extender fixes it 99.9% of the time.
thanks for the replies.
Yes, I have tried playing with all the settings and turning of roamish, fast switch, changin it for the AIO device only. Still no luck. The extenter is the only thing that has got me most of the way there.
Really disappointed that there’s a cheap/old wifi adapter in such an expensive piece of equipment where it’s vital for it’s function.
