Unstable Wireless Connectivity
VW wallbox frequently loses Wi‑Fi connection; app shows charger offline intermittently, though local charging continues.

Possible Causes
Weak Wi‑Fi signal at charger, Interference from neighboring networks, Faulty Wi‑Fi antenna or module, Router power‑saving or band‑steering issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Network changes are electrically safe.
- Improve signal: Move the router closer, add a Wi‑Fi extender, or use a wired Ethernet connection if the VW wallbox supports it.
- Lock to 2.4 GHz: Configure the router to provide a stable 2.4 GHz SSID; some EVSEs have issues with 5 GHz or band steering.
- Assign static IP: Reserve an IP address for the VW wallbox in the router to reduce dropouts.
If instability continues, the internal Wi‑Fi module or antenna may be defective and require replacement.
