Possible Causes
Weak Wi‑Fi signal at charger location, Interference from other 2.4 GHz devices, Faulty Wi‑Fi antenna or module, Incorrect router settings (e.g., band steering issues)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not involve mains, but isolate power before opening the housing.
- 1. Check signal strength:
- Use a smartphone near the charger to check Wi‑Fi signal quality.
- If weak, consider relocating the router or adding a Wi‑Fi extender.
- 2. Router settings:
- Ensure the SSID, password, and security type match the charger’s capabilities.
- Disable overly aggressive band steering or AP isolation that may drop IoT devices.
- 3. Inspect antenna:
- Open the charger and locate the Wi‑Fi antenna (internal or external).
- Ensure it is firmly connected to the communication module and not shielded by metal objects.
- 4. Firmware update:
- Update charger firmware if Heidelberg provides Wi‑Fi stability improvements.
- 5. Replace module if needed:
- If instability persists, replace the Wi‑Fi communication module.
