Method D: Power Line Communication Bridges [order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04
(AU) separately]. This method requires that you use the ferrite bead included with the IQ
Gateway.

Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi

The IQ Gateway integrated Wi-Fi operates at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and supports several wireless
security protocols in addition to Wi-Fi WPS. These include WEP Open System, WEP Shared Key, WPA-
PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-EAP, and WPA2-EAP.
To use the Enphase integrated Wi-Fi, you need a wireless
router.
a. On the IQ Gateway, verify that no Ethernet
cable is plugged into the RJ45 port.
b. If your router supports WPS, press and hold the
WPS button on the wireless router for a few
seconds. On most routers, a WPS LED begins flashing.
c. If you are using the Installer Toolkit mobile app, go to your system and tap Installer Toolkit Step 4
(Envoy connectivity), tap Wi-Fi, and then tap your Network from the list of available networks. If the
wireless router does not support WPS, you may be prompted to enter a password.
If you are not using the Installer Toolkit mobile app, you can only connect using WPS. Initiate a
WPS connection by pressing and holding the AP Mode button for 5 seconds.

Method B: Ethernet Cable

To use this method, you need an Ethernet cable and a broadband router. To install the cable and ferrite
bead:
a. Select a Cat5E or Cat6 Ethernet cable unshielded twisted pair (UTP). Do not use shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable.
b. Place a ferrite bead on the new cable, near one end, and close the latch.
c. Plug the cable end with the ferrite into the IQ Gateway Ethernet port.
d. Secure a cable tie on the cable on each side of the ferrite bead.
e. Tighten an additional cable tie around the ferrite bead.
f. Trim any cable tie excess.
g. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the network
