Enphase IQ Gateway

Getting the Enphase IQ Gateway to function is painful. Ultimately, I needed to have a technician come out and assist me in getting this connected to wifi. 

Guide to connecting Enphase IQ Gateway

According to Enphase documentation the IQ Gateway supports the following. 

  • 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz)
  • 10 m (32.8 ft)
  • There is an optional ethernet jack for hardwired installations.

Issues with the following

  • mixed 2.4 GHz/5 GHz networks
  • wifi 6
  • advanced settings such as band steering

What works

-Setup an IoT compatible network

-On the Verizon CR1000A it is fairly simple

-On ubiquiti there is an Enhanced IoT wifi mode that is enabled via a checkbox in the wifi settings.

-Reboot the wifi access point


Once this is performed you may still have issues

-Enphase IQ Gateway requires a strong wifi signal. One of the gateways would not pickup the wifi signal from the Enlighten app despite my phone getting reception. At this point, I called a technician who was able to get this to function.
