Cerbo GX WIFI Dongle Setup

I'm using a cerbo gx but the wifi singal to the interne router is to weak to have a stable connection.

To increase the signal strength, I'm using the recommended Victron Wi-Fi dongle, but I can't find any information how to set it up.

The dongle appears on the Cerbo GX Wi-Fi connections as venus-HQ2247..., and I'm able to use it, but I found no way to connect to the existing internet router.

Thanks for your help.

Jean-Claude

It is plug and play.

The connection to the router is done the same way the internal WiFi is done.

@Alexandra

Thanks for your answer and means that I have to plug in and do nothing more?

I did it this way but the signal strenght remains the same as before.

Does it mean I plug it in and add it with the shown passphrase as WIFI-connection as I did the connection to the router?

Thanks again for your help.

Regards, Jean-Claude
