Hi, I already try to get info from GoodWe but so far without any progress (Login).
Anyone found some way how to disable AP mode (in my case for ET GoodWe series). After the network setup is done there is no longer need to have AP mode enabled. But it is still being switched on.
This would be awesome to have the option in GoodWe configuration.
Hi,
Sadly i have had no luck with this either. I just wanted to share my frustrations with the Goodwe inverter software.
Yeah thats fine the more people here the better ;). I’ve opened official support ticket regarding this and will post an update here once available.
hi, any update on this one? mine does the same 
Even more worrying is you can access the web UI using the AP Mode and see what your real Wi-Fi SSID and password are that have been used to connect the inverter to the internet.
Yes, I changed already the AP password, then you can’t enter the admin portal anymore …
Although I have probably a newer wifi stick ,and the password from wifi SSID is completely hidden now
Sorry to say that, I was not able to force the vendor to any solution and fix the Wifi module. So I have now LAN module and connect my inverted via LAN only.
I thought the LAN module also have a wifi?
Yes they do, but apparently I have some older version and there is no wifi option. I also noticed in some web discussion (not personal experience) that the LAN/WiFi module has no issue with turning off the AP mode.
I’m another having this problem multiple security issues with the Goodwe WiFi (try to SSH and guess the username/password). If anybody does find a way to turn off the AP let me know.
Has anything happened here in the last 6 months? Same problem on my side.
I contacted Goodwe and got some answers, thought I share them with you here:
First thing to know is that there are a number of connection modules available and not all of them are compatible with every inverter - here’s a list they gave me:
Now I was told that the WIFI BOX and WIFI KIT do not support turning off the access point feature. You want to turn it off, you need to unplug the module - which of course also kills the wifi client so no data update to SemsPortal, HASS etc.
For me I have a model ET inverter so besides the WIFI KIT that I have (and ignoring 4G and BT modules which I’m not interested in) only the WIFI+LAN KIT is compatible with my inverter. Unfortunately the production of the latter was stopped (probably because of the newer WIFI/LAN Kit-20 which, however, is not compatible with my inverter model). What a weird business strategy.
So I’m either stuck with what I have or I can somehow somewhere get one of the WIFI/LAN KIT modules which presumably allow to configure some access point settings. I say “some” because the manual shows more options in the web interface than what I have (see page 9 here: https://en.goodwe.com/Ftp/EN/Downloads/User%20Manual/GW_WiFi%20Configuration%20Instruction-EN.pdf), however, it remains unclear to me whether it really allows to turn off the access point and still use the wifi client when the access point is off, what would be the idea. Or maybe at least wifi can be turned off completely and only lan used. From what I got from Goodwe support they said that turning off the access point is possible - but I cannot say if they understood correctly what I want or if they think that hiding the SSID means turning off the access point…
