This almost sounds like a network issue. Since I don't know how The Blind Wolf has his network setup, maybe each WIFI board is trying to get the same IP or they somehow have the same mac address which should be near impossible. Could even be an IPv6 issue if any of that is somehow messed up since many home routers still don't handle IPv6 well. Could even be an IP conflict with another device on the network if the router doesn't have enough IP addresses available to hand out. I know Apple devices, especially iPhones are notorious for requesting new IPs before the default IP renew time on most consumer routers has been reached thus they can chew up all the IPs before the router releases them when they bounce back and forth between access points.

Highly doubt that, I got a night halk AX 6. and its less then 4 feet from where those inverters are at.. I know some routers limit how many devices you can have on the wifi, thanks to google mesh hub crap it only allows 36 devies before it drops them. I could bring up another wifi router if need be and have them connect directly to it only and see if that helps. I would just need to be able to reset the current wifi on them. I'll do that , I still got those google mesh things I can take one and hook it up to my 24 porth switch hub and set it up to be just for those inverters.

Well, that's a bit of a clue. I am aware that due to a dumb mistake in the firmware, the DHCP device names will not be unique. Not sure if that's what's amiss or not...but I DO know that my personal house inverter went offline after 6 days, and crashed when I tried to cycle the WiFi settings. That in itself is a pretty big clue, but it could well be tied up with a DHCP failure due to a conflicting device name?? I didn't write the code, I dunno!

Not using IPv6 to my knowledge anyway.
I'm aware that <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="/profile/3-the-blind-wolf/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="3" href="/profile/3-the-blind-wolf/" rel="">@The Blind Wolf has pretty much all of the "home assistant" devices in his house, there might be a clue there.
Nope its not my router, I just went into my router settings which I've not done in over two years and make sure the firmware was update which it was, enable AX opa mode, only got the 2.4ghz band go ing the 5ghz is not enabled, only have 24 devices connected to it. rebooted and still same results the slave is only connection the master is not, so its on the GS side.

Not everything else is connecting fine. But if your having a dhcp crash going on, then that is probley going to be a issue. having two GS on the sam dhcp is more likely going to crash. IP6 is highly unlikly to be a issue because you could give every grain of sand on a beach a IP6 and it will never be the same. so no on that one ip4 yes.
Maybe have it reboot the wifi if it detects a crash? Not sure if you can program that or not, but, I really would like to see my inverter. matter of fact, since the master is not ocnnected it makes the page you made for me go nuts and I can't read much cause it refreashing like crazy to get info and jumps all over the place. then just now it showed it was disconnected until I refreashed it.

24 devices is a lot for a home router but that is likely not the issue unless their are not enough IPs available in the DHCP pool (default for many home routers is 50 or 100) Is you router set to have at least 100 IPs available for DHCP? Do you have any DHCP reservations setup in the router? Maybe setting up a DHCP static reservation in the router by powering on each GS inverter would do the trick.
If the GS inverters are using the same name the router may not be looking at the different MAC addresses even though it should be so since the slave inverter is booting before the master it is getting the IP first.
Maybe have it reboot the wifi if it detects a crash?
A crash is the same as a restart. If the WiFi board crashes, it is evidenced by a restart (which will briefly ramp the fans to full throttle, though it won't cause the inverter to shut down).

That's a considerably different story, that doesn't sound like inverter faults to me.
However, I do confirm that your master inverter seems to be offline. Guess I'll need to look over the code again (try to make sure there aren't shared memory leaks...all the fun stuff I have to keep in mind when programming a processor that is both multicore and multithreading). Might need to make a 1.1r4 with some test patches to see if that helps.

Beats me, let me know when we need to update, I got a print going again, though should be done maybe tomorrow afternoon. after its done, I'll switch the printers back to the grid side of things so that leave the inverters open to updateing and tinkering.
FWIW I realize that I used the wrong terminology...it's not DHCP name (don't think there's such a thing), but rather something like the DNS hostname. I'm aware on 1.1r3 that they likely will be identical between the 2 inverters due to a stupid bug on my end. But we'll have to see.

Well, my printer is done I reset the inveters, they showed up for about two mins then guess what now both are not showing online. so must be that bug, cause it didn't do that on 1.1r2.

Good clue, if it's happening in a few minutes, it might well be a DNS naming issue that your router is choking on. Should be easy to fix.

So how do we do this? waiting 😛
Doing small prints while waiting for your way to resolved it. is it a firmware update that going to need to be done or we got to change something on the gs menu?
