Wi-Fi Configuration

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:

• Use a separate SSID for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks — for example, network_name and network_name-5G. If the network already has separate SSIDs use the 2.4ghz one. If the networks do not have a separate SSIDs, contact your internet service provider to create a separate SSID.
• 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.
