Envoy S WiFi Extender

Check Status

Wifi Extender Connecting to Router

The wireless extender picks up the existing WiFi network and passes the signal through the ethernet port that simply plugs into the solar monitor.

As a first step, check the signal strength to your extender. There should be at least 3 LED's lit on the right hand side of the circle. (If the unit is placed up-side down, the signal will be indicated on the left).

If you have fewer than 3 solid LED's on the shown side, please continue to next steps.


WPS Connection

The first method to reconnect your extender is using the WPS feature of your router. If there is no WPS button on your router you may skip this page and move on to step 3.

  1. Take the extender device and move it to a power outlet close to the router and wait 10 seconds for it to turn on.
  2. Firmly press the WPS button of your router for one full second. Then immediately press the center button of your extender for 1 full second.
  3. Wait until the "RE" LED changes from blinking to solid on, this indicates a successful connection. If this LED does not stay on, either repeat steps or move on to the next page for a different method of connection.
  4. Now that the "RE" LED is on, relocate your extender close to the Enphase envoy and connect them with an ethernet cable. Your extender should have at least 3 LED's on the right-hand side as shown below.
