Easy way is to change the ssid back to the old one together with the password.

Failing that you need to log into the inverter WiFi access point and set it up again.

Two ways:

  1. Change the wifi settings of your new router so that it provides a wifi connection with the same ssid and password as your old one. Some routers allow you to set up multiple wifi networks so just you can add one with the old details. The advantage of this approach is that ALL your old connected devices will work wohtout reconfiguring them.

  2. Reconfigure the GE dongle on the inverter to change the wifi settings t match your new router's wifi settings. There's a how to in the wiki for this.

BTW - this question has ben asked and answered many times on this forum. Next time you have a question do a search ont the forum and you might find you question answered.

cluelesscris I'm wondering if anyone might be able to set up a FAQ thread that could be pinned to the top?
I have some sympathy with newbies to the Forum which must look a bit daunting, at first. When the Forum was set up, there were only a few posts per day.
Perhaps FAQ one could be called: "What your installer didn't tell you..."?
I was lucky with mine who was excellent - I can recommend for Dorset area.

I think it's still pinned, but for some reason pinned topics don't stay at the top. 🤣🤦

I was having most of the same issues connecting to my router, I fixed it by using a Wi-Fi extender. It only took 5 minutes to set up
This is the link to Amazon but you can buy the device from a number of places.
