Trying to connect Tesla PowerWall
Powerwall won’t connect because it needs a 2.4ghz network. Any thoughts for a workaround?
I meet all the requirements. 5 bars of WiFi. When it tries to connect to my network, doesn’t ask for a password!?
Every set of instructions I have found say that the user has to enter the WiFi password.

I was a bit surprised to see this comment:
On all of my WiFi devices, once I have entered a correct password once, the device remembers it and I never have to enter it again. This helps when I visit someone who told me their WiFi password months ago. Just walk in, select their WiFi, and it connects. Can you make a screen shot of the error message that comes up (after more than five minutes)? (Wouldn't it be a hoot if the PowerWall is already connected and just hides the information?)
I like the idea of creating a temporary Hot Spot using a cell phone, as long as the cell phone creates a 2.4G Hot Spot. That is what my Sony Xperia does. Have no idea what frequency iPhone Hot Spots are.

I don't have a iphone so this is just from googling quick.
