Backend Connectivity / Cloud Communication Failure
VW wallbox cannot connect to the Volkswagen backend or cloud services; local charging works but remote control and logging do not.

Possible Causes
Outdated firmware incompatible with current VW backend, DNS or firewall issues on home router, Faulty Ethernet/Wi‑Fi module, Incorrect region settings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Network troubleshooting is low risk electrically.
- Check internet: Verify that other devices on the same network have internet access.
- Router settings: Ensure outbound HTTPS traffic is allowed and no parental controls or firewalls block the charger.
- Firmware update: If possible, update the VW wallbox firmware via USB or local interface.
- Re‑link account: In the VW wallbox or We Connect app, remove and re‑add the charger to your account.
If connectivity still fails, the communication board or configuration may require service‑level tools to repair.
