Troubleshooting Guide: Resolving SolaX Dongle Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues

Introduction

This troubleshooting guide is designed to help SolaX Power customers resolve Wi-Fi connectivity issues related to SolaX dongles. Wireless connectivity is essential for monitoring and managing your inverter system via the SolaX Cloud, and this guide provides step-by-step instructions to identify and fix common problems.

Issue Description

Customers may experience difficulties with their SolaX dongle not connecting to Wi-Fi or the Wi-Fi network not appearing as expected. This can prevent proper communication between your inverter and the SolaX Cloud platform.

Signs of Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues

• The dongle's Wi-Fi hotspot is not visible or cannot be detected by devices.
• Failure to connect the dongle to the inverter's Wi-Fi network.
• Inability to view monitoring data on the SolaX Cloud platform.

Basic Troubleshooting Checklist

• Verify the dongle model is compatible with your specific inverter model (e.g., WiFi 3.0 dongle is required for X3-Hybrid-G4.2).
• Ensure that your Wi-Fi network's SSID is broadcasting and is within range of the dongle.
• Confirm the dongle is properly plugged into the inverter's USB port or designated interface.
• Check that a site is created and properly configured in your SolaX Cloud account, as missing site setup can affect connectivity.

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps

If the basic checks do not resolve the issue, please follow these advanced steps:

1. Connect the dongle directly to a computer using a USB port to verify if the dongle's hotspot appears and is detectable by the computer.
2. If the hotspot does not appear, perform a local firmware upgrade or reconfiguration of the dongle following the manufacturer's instructions provided in the user manual or official support resources.
3. If after upgrade or reconfiguration the hotspot still does not display, the dongle may be defective and should be replaced by contacting SolaX Power Support or your authorized dealer.
