Nighthawk not visible to Solar Edger inverter
I swapped out an old modem supplied by ISP with a new nighthawk C7500 V2. I just recently noticed that the Solar Edge inverter in the garage hadn't been connected to the WiFi network. I've tri...
None of your comments are helpful. You sound like a bot and dont understand anything and you dont seem to be making an effort to understand ether. Just plain unhelpful.
I updatds the firmware on the nighthawk and managed to connect the solar inverter to the wifi network - netgear33.
Problem partially solved.
I had a reconfigure the nighthawk using the genie wizard after updating the firmware on the nighthawk - becuase the firmware update caused a loss of the internet connection into the ethernet lan port 4 on the nighthawk with was showing a red solid light on the top of the nighthawk.
So internet is back up and inverter is connection to the wifi next work.
The problem now is that the house alarm which is connected via ethernet cable to a TPLink switch which is connected by ethernet into the nighthawk and the solar inverter cannot be accessed via mobile apps.
This problem didnt exist before nighthawk so there must be a configuration/secuity setting on nighthawk which control how device on tmy home wifi and wired network "talk" to the internet.
If I solve this I post an update so others can benefit from it.

"3846ac" or "3864ac"? And it's connected to what, how? Are you
using a DSL connection, or what?

Which parts of "accurate" and "what's connected to what" were

Why would you assume _anything_?

Still true.

I think that I'm unlikely to guess what your problem is without a
reasonably complete description of your gizmos and their configuration.
If you can figure out your problem with less information, then that'd be
fine with me. But I have limited time to waste chasing fundamental
facts which have already been requested.
> It's must be a nighthawk configuration issue.
Could be. But I'm still trying to imagine what a C7500v2 is doing
for you if you've replaced a "sagemcom gateway fast 3846ac" (or 3864ac)
with it.

How, exactly, did you accomplish that with a C7500v2?

Please do that for _all_ your gizmos, because this whole mess makes
less sense all the time.

Perhaps, but I might be handicapped some by the inaccuracies in your
problem description.Clearly, I don't understand anything, so you'll be happier without
any further distractions from me. Best wishes on your endeavors.Yes sir. Back to your gizmos and imagination.
If I manage to solve the nighthawk issue (and it is a nighthawk issue given that it didnt existing before nighthawk) I'll let you know.
