Possible Causes
Faulty Ethernet or Wi‑Fi module, Incorrect network configuration (IP/DHCP), Weak Wi‑Fi signal at charger location, Firmware bug in communication stack
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not usually require power-off, but avoid opening the unit while energized.
- Check router and internet: Confirm your home network and internet connection are working with another device.
- Signal strength: If using Wi‑Fi, move the router closer or add a Wi‑Fi extender near the Webasto charger.
- Reboot devices: Power cycle the router and then the Webasto charger. Wait several minutes for reconnection.
- Verify settings: Using the Webasto app or web interface (if accessible), confirm SSID, password, and IP settings are correct.
- Firmware update: If possible, update the charger firmware to the latest version. Persistent E12 may indicate a failing communication module that needs replacement.
