Enphase
Are you having trouble connecting your Enphase LCD to your Wi-Fi network? These instructions will step you through the process of getting your Enphase communicating again.
Note – The Wi-Fi adapter needs to be plugged into the Envoy R in order for this to work. If the steps below do not work then the Wi-Fi adapter may need to be replaced.
Envoy R with LCD Screen and Wi-Fi Adapter
Wireless Connection WPS Method - Easiest Method
1. Hold down the MENU button until “Enable Wi-Fi WPS” appears on the screen. Release the MENU button to select it.
2. Push the WPS button on your router.
3. Wait up to 5 mins.
4. If the Envoy screen shows +Web then the internet connection was successful. Uploading data can take an hour per day of data that it is missing. E.G. If the Envoy has been offline for 30 days then expect it to take 30 hours to upload the missing data to Enlighten.
Manual Configuration Method A
1. Holding down the MENU button, wait until the 7th option “Enable Wi-Fi AP” appears on the screen, then release the MENU button to select it (the message “Wi-Fi AP Enabled” should appear on the screen briefly).
2. On a smartphone/tablet/laptop/computer (any device that is able to connect to a Wi-Fi network), connect to the Envoy’s Wi-Fi network (ENVOY_xxxxxx where “xxxxxx” represents the last 6 digits of the Envoy serial number).
3. Open up any web browser application (eg. Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), type into the address bar “172.30.1.1” and press enter.
4. The Enphase Envoy page should appear; click on the Administration tab.
5. When prompted for a login, the username is "admin" and the password is also "admin" (not including the quotation marks).
6. A grey menu should appear on the left; click on "Wi-Fi Configuration".
7. Click on your internet network in the list of networks that appears, then enter the password (leaving all the other settings at the default settings).
8. Click "Test Connection" and once this is complete, click "Join Network".
a) If you get the test connection failed message, click the clear form button.
b) Manually type in the “Wireless Network Name” and password.
c) Change the "Wireless Security Mode" setting to "WPA Personal" and the "WPA Algorithm" setting to "TKIP" and repeat step 8.
d) If the above does not work, change the “Wireless Security Mode” to "WPA Personal" and change “WOA Akgorithm” to "TKIP + CCMP" and repeat step 8.
9. Wait up to 10 minutes and check that +Web and a new IP address appears on the screen of your Envoy.
Manual Configuration Method B
NOTE – An internet connection on your laptop/computer is not required
1. Ensure the Wi-Fi adapter is inserted into a USB port on the Envoy.
2. Connect a laptop/computer to the Envoy using an ethernet cable.
3. Open a web browser (eg. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer) and type the address "169.254.120.1" into the address bar (you should see this IP address on the display of your Envoy).
4. Go to step 4 in “Method A for Envoy R – Manual Configuration for Internet Connection”.
