Reconnecting Zappi (v2) to property WiFi router

I've noticed that the instructions for connecting a myenergi Zappi (V2) to a property's wifi, while being complete, might not be fully understood.
These can be found at support.myener... and are the basis for this video.
If a user switches out the property wifi unit for a new one, then setting it up to use the same SSID and wifi access password as the old one will probably be the easiest solution. (This is not covered in this video.)
However not every disconnect is for this reason.
I've created a video on RUclips which might be of help.
Please leave any comments below. Did this video help?

Thanks, this is a really helpful video....would have really struggled without it

@@andrewfrance-q8j Thanks for the feedback. Nice to hear it's still of use.

Thank you very much Peter! This was most helpful and I wouldn’t have been able to figure this out by myself. I don’t understand why it can’t be just as simple as setting up a new router connection in my iPad settings is. That takes all of ten seconds. All I need to do is put in the wireless network name and password and Bob’s your Uncle, but no MyEnergi have to get you jumping through hoops. GivEnergy is even worse! Trying to connect my inverter to a new router took about an hour of faffing about and that’s with the help of my son who’s a computer programmer. Even he said the user interface was outdated and over complicated. Anyway, thanks again. 👍
If these companies want more people to use their products they’re going to have to test them with ordinary non-tech savvy people.

Thanks for the feedback.

Great Video, could Myenergi make is more of a challenge to do this? It was only a two hour challenge. I did cheat the challenge which was cut short by this video. It was of no avail but now I know why it is screwed to the wall, its easier to punch.

Thank you for this video it helped me connect to my new router. Don't think I could have done it otherwise.

[@peterguilliatt]

Always good to hear it's been of use to somebody.

[@imprezaaudi]

This is the best description of setting up the WiFi. Worked perfectly. Shame you can't just type in password directly in to the Zappi for WiFi

[@peterguilliatt]

Thanks for the feedback. Always good to know it helps.

Thank you SO much without your video I would have pulled out all my hair! The only person who made it work!

[@peterguilliatt]

Thanks for the feedback. Always nice to hear it's been of use.

I don’t get the Manage Router option 🤔. Update..
Found it 20 minutes of connecting later… seems to work now. Your instructions were so much better than Myenergi’s!

[@peterguilliatt]

You might have to forget the wi-fi more than once for your phone to clear settings.

[@kevinkeane446]

You only see the manage network option when your phone is actually connected to the Zappi. You need to explicitly disconnect from your home wifi, otherwise your phone keeps reconnecting to it, as the Zappi has no Internet connection.

[@kevinkeane446]

Super video, thanks.

‘Enter your password to access your WIFI settings’ screen on smart device…..what is this MyEnergi log in password if it’s not the Zappi screen password and not the WiFi password and not the MyEnergi account log in password? All of these have failed.

Hi Peter on a sumsung a53 adroid phone and not seeing manage router in the settings ..i got ip setting/proxy/metered network/mac adress/ip adress and thats it?
regards Neil

[@peterguilliatt]

You might have to forget the zappi connection on your phone more than once to clear the settings. Then you should see the manage networks option.
I was using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ on android.
