HELP - Going on vacation and Profilux 4 lost wifi connection

[VJV]

Is your router IP 192.168.1.94 ? looking to your previous pictures the IP set on Gateway setting from Profilux was 192.168.1.1

If you ping your router, you should get the name of your SSID in line 1 or the the profilux name if targeting the Profilux IP.

Ok. So this is what I get when I path ping my router:

Ok so ping is ok to the router,
Did you try to ping another host (device) from the network ? Are they reachable or do you get also host unreachable ?
Did you try to deactivate the firewall ?

Have you emailed us or opened a support ticket on this matter?

I did to GHL Europe yes. Got an answer back from MatthiasF saying that I should get a simple 2.4ghz wifi repeater and use it to integrate the P4 to the WiFi network.

Thanks

Hi,

I believe all the other devices are reachable (I have wifi connection in 6 iPhones, one TV, two MacBooks, the Windows laptop, etc. I will check it to make sure.

I did not however, turn off the firewall... is that required?

Also, I did manage to get the Dose 2.1 connected at first try as I was changing a couple of settings using GCC (wifi connection) GCC froze up, disconnected me and deleted both my physical and wifi Doser connections...??? I may have to upgrade firmware as I believe I never did on the dose but I also do not get any warning that it is out of date..

Kind regards

Vasco

EUREKA!!!!! I finally have my Doser 2.1 and my Profilux 4 online!!! @kodo28, @Ditto and @everyone else that chimed in a big thank you. In the end to get the P4 connected I installed a Devolo power line extender with a separate wifi network and was able to connect the P4 using that network. The Doser 2.1 connected without issues to my normal network though.

Hopefully I have seen the last of this ordeal!

So the problem was the router/settings rather than P4?

Good on all the contributors for the persistence

EUREKA . Did you had low signal on P4 wifi ? or maybe to many other equipment on same signal.
I could read some one else also in same boat, he got it solved with an extender.

Trouble with network... weak signal and dropped packets

With the GHL at your tank, closest to the primary netgear,can you unplug the satellite netgear temporarily and see if performance improves? I appreciate the help, and I will definitely try this but can you let me in on your line of thinking here? If you look at the image in my previous post...
