If my WiFi router is turned off Venus GX will not automatically re-connect to router when router is turned on again. The only way to get GX to reconnect is to remove power cable and replace it - in effect rebooting the GX. The WiFi signal to the router is good at 75% and has disconnected and reconnected without a problem in the past.
Maybe since it was installed a year ago. Excuse me for being vague but when it was installed the supplier fitted a WiFi dongle to the GX when it already had a good connection with the built in WiFi. The connection problem was put down to this and the dongle removed. All was well after but probably because system was working smoothly automatically switching between grid and solar so the router never powered down. Recently with poor solar production we have occasionally manually changed over to grid so batteries will top up and I've realised it is when router is powered down the GX won't automatically connect to router when WiFi signal returns.
OK, sounds like it isn't from the new OS release. Contact your supplier, may need to be replaced.
Same for me. WiFi needs to be up before Venus boots in order to connect.
I put a switch in the power cable to power off and on if I don’t want to wait for the “automatic reboot” timeout.
same for me with easysolar gx. also when WLAN is rebooting the GX dont reconnect automaticly.
Only reboot helps. i know the automatic restart option.
