EV Charger unusable after router failure

My wifi router died, and this has left the ev charger unusable as you cannot setup the new wifi.

After following the instructions in the app, and just end up with processing forever. After downloading the installer manual, I managed to connect to the chargers wifi hot-spot, EVSE-53527483 and view the login for the webpage on http://192.168.4.1/ but the password they give in the book of 12345678 does not work. This explains why the app hangs.

This is my last attempt to make this work before I strip in down to workout a fix or skip it depending on what i find. This will be after doing a youtube of the issues then a teardown, with schematics. Bit of a waste as it's only 13 months old.

So i can use the charger I have connected via a LAN cable out the front door into the garage, so I can do everything other than sort the WiFi.

As far as I can see I need the correct password for the EVSE module Web page, as even after a factory reset does not reset the module password.

Or can I run a LAN cable between the ev charger LAN port and the LAN port in the inverter, then use the inverter wifi to connect to the Internet.

JWsol Or can I run a LAN cable between the ev charger LAN port and the LAN port in the inverter, then use the inverter wifi to connect to the Internet.

I don’t think this will work. The LAN port on the inverter is for it to be connected to your router. I doubt very much that it can act as a network bridge from Ethernet to wifi for your EV charger.

Have you tried the EV charger serial number, or the EVC dongle serial number 53527483 ?

If you have a new wifi router why not set it to the same SSID and password as your original one so everything connects the same as it used to do.

geoffreycoan thank you for confirming, i did think that was the case with the lan port. I have tried combinations of the module number serial number and got nowhere. The install manual gives 12345678, but this does not work.
The new router is significantly better than the old, disappointed the inverter does not support WPA3, and if you use wpa2 and wpa3 mode the inverter gets unstable.

JWsol Yeah the wifi dongles in the inverters are relatively old technology and don’t support 5GHz, fast roaming for mesh networks or any of the newer security protocols like WPA3 or transitional

Givenergy came back with the solution, instead of pressing enter, click the login button on the GUI the standard password worked.
