Good evening All,
Is it worthwhile getting the GX LTE 4G for my Easysolar GX ?
Due to the location in the garage my system depends on WIFI for VRM connection for remote monitoring etc and my router is being supplied by my ESGX, I sometimes lose connection to the remote console while rebooting or upgrading firmware etc .
Alternately, with advent of 5G would a 5G version of the GX LTE be in the making as well,hence wait for that one?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi @ukXan, I can't comment on 4g however I have another potential solution you might like.
It's not as guarantied as an ethernet wire but better than wifi. I've had some success using powerline adapters. Essentially 2 plugs with ethernet ports on them. You Plug one into mains power in the house and ethernet wire into router, then the second plug into mains in garage and the ethernet signal is sent over the power lines).
It's not as reliable as an ethernet wire but in my experience it's better than wifi and probably a cheaper solution than 4g dongle.
May be worth getting one testing it and if it fails send it back.
