This can be a bit of a problem with some of the newer modems that use a new feature called "band steering".
With band steering turned on these modems will only output a single WiFi network that broadcasts both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidth together. The problem is that some devices don't play nicely with this feature, such as a lot of solar inverters.
The good news is that this function can be turned off, and when it's turned off the modem will again broadcast the 2.4GHz & 5GHZ bandwidth as separate networks.
This video shows how to turn this function OFF on a Telstra modem. If you have another brand of modem this video will still be helpful in pointing you in the right direction however it will be a bit different.Eko5000DB / Ginlong Solar Inverter Short-Pro Fault messageGold Coast Solar Power Solutions2021-05-10 | Is your Eko5000DB or Ginlong solar inverter showing an alarm light and displaying a Status: SHORT-PRO message on the screen?

Electrical switches, solar inverters, air conditioners and pretty much anything that has live electrical circuits are all places that you really don't want creepy crawlies, dust or water getting into. That's why it's so important to always seal up any holes where these things could potentially enter the device.
We also recommend only using bottom entries into electrical devices, this helps to ensure that if any water is around gravity will keep it away from dripping onto live components and causing problems!
This particular isolator is installed on an off grid solar power system located in a Gold Coast hinterland rainforest. The snakes are Australian Small Eyed Snakes, which are highly venomous. Fortunately, however, they are not inclined to bite!Varistor Defective Message on SMA Solar InverterGold Coast Solar Power Solutions2020-12-14 | Is your SMA solar inverter showing a Varistor Defective message on the screen?
