  If your Growatt Automobile Battery Charger isn't connecting to WiFi, ensure the WiFi SSID and password are correct. Also, check your router for access control features like MAC filtering or port blocking. If you have a dual-band router, make sure you're using the 2.4GHz WiFi network for the charger connection. A weak WiFi signal (lower than -75dbm) can also prevent connection. Verify that the charger isn't still connected to your computer and that the server address in the “Server URL” field is correct.
