7. Click "Refresh" and then select the customer's home Wi-Fi network from the list of networks.

Check that the "RSSI" connection strength from the Wi-Fi network is at least 10% - if the connection is weak you might need to move the internet router closer to the inverter.

 

8. Enter the password for the customer's home Wi-Fi network

(this can usually be found printed on the back of their internet router)
