Grizzl-E Smart only connects to a 2.4ghz Wi-FI frequency.
Ensure your network has a dedicated 2.4ghz WI-Fi band with its own SSID.
Before connecting Grizzl-E Smart, check the network frequency in network properties on your
PC or Android.
For Dual Band 2.4ghz/5ghz Routers do one of the following:
• Create a separate SSID for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. For example,
network_name
and
network_name
-5G.
• On Routers that have the ability, turn off 5G band and connect to 2.4ghz band.
• Install a 2.4ghz Wi-Fi extender with a separate extension network for the charger.
Grizzl-E Smart will charge with or without a Wi-Fi connection. Without a Wi-Fi connection OCPP
Smart Features will not be available.
