Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback OpticsRE unreliable with powerline internet and Trace SW inverter
I have had to replace old Inverters that were working but not meeting specification and were causing weird problems offgrid. My clients power systems that run Insight from Schneider and Optics are always hard wired to an ethernet port on the cable or wireless router to avoid other problems. The same with Hughes net. Just easier avoiding issues for me:) Good Luck!
