  If the LED on your Generac Power Systems Wireless Router is off, start by checking the 5 Amp fuse located on the yellow harness wire. Also, make sure that the connector on the Wi-Fi module harness is properly seated in the socket on the controller. Check your Wi-Fi router and reset it if necessary. If the connection is poor, consider adding a repeater to boost the signal. Ensure the unit is activated by visiting www.ActivateGen.com.

  If your Generac Power Systems Wireless Router's Wi-Fi module isn't connecting to your home network, it might be due to a change with your ISP, a power outage, or a replaced network router. If your ISP has changed or your network router has been replaced, follow the reconnection process. If a power outage has occurred, wait for the utility or backup power source to return.

  If the LED is flashing rapidly (approximately 2-3 times per second) on your Generac Power Systems Wireless Router, it could be due to a low RSSI, incorrect wireless password, or an incorrectly entered SSID. Check the signal strength and boost the network signal as needed. If the wireless password or SSID was entered incorrectly, restart the connection process after verifying the information.

What to do if the Cellular Network LED (B) is flashing on my Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments?
- R
  Randall OlsonAug 28, 2025
  If the Cellular Network LED (B) on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments is flashing or off, it could be due to a variable or weak connection to the cellular network. Try the following: * Reset the connector at the generator controller and the Mobile Link cellular unit. * Ensure the external antenna is tightly attached to the Mobile Link cellular unit. * Consider replacing the cable. In some cases, the issue may resolve itself within 10 minutes. If the LED continues to flash, consider purchasing an extender antenna or contacting Customer Support. Keep in mind that cellular coverage can be intermittent.

Why is the Server Connection LED (D) off on my Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments?

  Jeffrey HernandezAug 30, 2025
  If the Server Connection LED (D) is off on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments, the Mobile Link cellular unit may not be connected to the Mobile Link server. This could be because the server is down, so wait for a server response. Alternatively, the controller might be unsupported; verify it is a Nexus, Evolution 1.0, or Evolution 2.0. It is also possible that the Mobile Link cellular unit is in “Suspended” mode, in which case you should contact Mobile Link Customer Service for assistance at (US) 1-855-436-8439 or (CAN) 1-844-843-9436.

What does it mean when the Connection to Controller LED (C) is flashing on Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments?
- A
  annette36Sep 2, 2025
  If the Connection to Controller LED (C) is flashing on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments, the generator controller is communicating with the Mobile Link cellular unit, but has not yet been identified. To resolve this, verify that the controller is compatible with the Mobile Link cellular unit (Nexus, Evolution 1.0, and Evolution 2.0). Also, ensure that all harness connections between the Mobile Link cellular unit and the generator controller are correct and tight. The light will turn solid when communications are established.

How to troubleshoot all LEDs off on Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments?
- E
  Eugene HoldenSep 5, 2025
  If all the LEDs are off on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments, it indicates that there is no power to the Mobile Link cellular unit. Inspect the wire harness connections. For Evolution 2.0 controllers, the Mobile Link cellular unit receives power directly from the controller. For non-Evolution 2.0 controllers, it receives power from the battery connections. Also, verify the harness is correctly connected to the battery and reset the connector to the Mobile Link cellular unit.

  edwinpotterSep 7, 2025
  If the Connection to Controller LED (C) is off on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments, it could indicate that the Mobile Link cellular unit is not connected to the generator controller. Try resetting the Mobile Link cellular unit wire harness to the generator controller and verify that all harness connections between the unit and the generator controller are correct. Also, wait a few moments, as Mobile Link will not attempt to communicate with the controller for approximately 15 seconds upon initial startup. Inspect the wire harness and battery connections (if applicable) and tighten if necessary.

  cgomezSep 10, 2025
  If the Power LED (A) is off on your Generac Power Systems Measuring Instruments, it indicates there is no power to the Mobile Link cellular unit. Inspect the thermal safety device (fuse, in-line circuit breaker, or thermal coupler) in the harness. Also, verify the harness is correctly connected to the battery and reset the connector to the Mobile Link cellular unit.
