An update on our configuration.
We have wired, wireless and cellular. When the system was installed, I verified everything was working. However...
Over the weekend, I've been troubleshooting problems on our local network - we have something that is causing us to loose connections to the internet for several seconds at a time, and when that happens, also have difficulty accessing local devices. Haven't identified the cause - which could be a problem with our cable modem, router, network switch or even a single device or wired connection.
During testing, it appears the wired connection to our TEG may be having problems. The network seemed to be better when the wired TEG connection was disconnected (though I'll need to do more thorough testing to verify this).
While the TEG wired connection was disconnected, I then tried to access the TEG via WiFi - and discovered the WiFi connection had turned off. I had to reconnect the wired connection and manually re-connect the TEG to WiFi. And after I disconnected the wired connection, a series of PING tests showed the WiFi connection is very unstable - with short periods when no data was getting through. This is surprising because on the inside of the garage, our Tesla S & X and smart sprinkler controller have no problems connecting to our WiFi network - with two mesh routers located in rooms above and adjacent. But on the outer wall of our garage, evidently all of the electrical gear is making the WiFi connection unreliable.
It's possible we are having problems with our TEG. We're also tracking down interference on the powerline, which is causing intermittent connection problems between our microinverters and their control panel (which communicates over powerline to the microinverters).
If you're concerned about the wired or wireless connection to your TEG, recommend running a ping test to verify you have a reliable connection (ping -n 100 xx.xx.xx.xx; where "100" tells ping to do the test 100 times).
