Wireless Range Extenders and the
Enphase Microinverter System
The Envoy with Wireless Adapter
The Envoy Communications Gateway
wireless adapter for sites using a wireless router.
The Enphase Wireless Adapter (Wi-Fi USB stick), included with
the Envoy model ENV-120-02, allows the Envoy to transmit
®
Enphase Microinverter System
wireless network to the Enlighten
Using the wireless adapter simplifies Envoy installation and
reduces system commissioning time.
With the Enphase wireless adapter, you can connect the Envoy to
the Internet in one of two ways.
• Use the Wi-Fi WPS button on the wireless router.
• Configure the Envoy manually using the Envoy local interface.
Refer to the Envoy Installation and Operations Manual for complete and detailed installation steps.
Some installation sites require that you extend the range of the existing Wi-Fi network so that the Envoy
with the wireless adapter can connect to the Internet.
About Wireless Range Extenders
In some situations, the wireless network on site may not have a range great enough for the Envoy to
establish communications. Using wireless range extenders at these sites may strengthen the signal of the
existing wireless network to allow Envoy connection to the Internet.
This technical brief lists some wireless range extenders that, in Enphase's experience, will likely extend
the range of your existing wireless network to provide robust and reliable wireless communications. This
list is not comprehensive and other range extenders may also work.
