, slightly higher cost and also better reception.
Although other Wi-Fi dongles may work, they have not been tested and we do not offer support for other dongles.
The Wi-Fi menu shows the available networks. When a network is selected, it is possible to fill in the password (if the password is
not already known) to connect to the network. Setting up via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is not supported.
When the CCGX finds multiple Wi-Fi networks of which the password is known, the strongest network is selected automatically.
When the signal of the connected network becomes too weak, it will automatically switch to a stronger network - if it knows the
password of that network.
Wi-Fi is an inherently less reliable connection than a hardwired ethernet cable. It should always be a preference to connect via
ethernet when possible. Signal strength should always be at least 50%.
3.3. GX GSM
3.4. Mobile (cellular) network using a 3G or 4G router
To connect the CCGX to a mobile (cellular) network, such as a 3G or 4G network, use a cellular router. Connect the CCGX to that
router with either a LAN cable or the router's Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you use a router that is designed for unattended setups. Do not use low cost consumer-grade routers intended for
business or leisure travel. A more expensive professional router will quickly pay for itself, and you won't have wasted journeys
simply to perform a re-set. Examples of such professional routers are the
.
Note that the CCGX does not support USB 3G/4G dongles, other than the GX GSM available from Victron.
3.5. USB tethering using a mobile phone
This is a useful facility when it works - but don't rely on it because it has not proved very dependable. Consult the internet for
instructions about tethering for your phone and its particular operating system. We have heard of it working on:
• Samsung Galaxy S4
…but not on:
• iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1
