EG4 Solution: Encrypting your Wi-Fi dongle connection

[EG4TechSolutionsTeam]

1. Check Dongle Type:
- Ensure you have an E Wi-Fi dongle that typically starts with BJXXXX or BGXXXX. A BAXXXX dongle will not work with this guide.

2. Access EG4 Monitoring Portal:
- Navigate to the EG4 Monitoring portal.
- Locate the Dongle section of the website.
- Ensure the firmware version is V2.06 or newer. If not, update the dongle firmware.




3. Update Dongle Firmware: *Contact a distributor or EG4 representative at this time*
- Click on "Management" and then "Update."



4. Connect to the Wi-Fi Dongle Network:
- Open the app and connect to the Wi-Fi network emitted by the dongle.


5. Dongle Connection Setup:
- Click on "Dongle Connect."
- Wait until the "Dongle Connect Params" option appears and select it.



6. Enable Encryption Mode:
- Enable "Encryption Mode."


7. Change Password:
- Click the "eye" icon.
- Input the code "123123."
- Enter your desired password and select "Set."



8. Reconnect to Wi-Fi:
- Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network emitted by the dongle using the new password you have set.

9. Reset Password (if needed):
- If you forget the password or want to disable encryption, hold the reset button on the dongle for approximately 10 seconds.

I'm glad this is finally public, though I'm still waiting for the firmware update on one of mine...

I have not registered my inverter.

Is there a way to update dongle firmware with local connect?

Currently only on the latest version of the Android APP. This will be located under the dongle connect params.
