Mobile Link devices

Most current Generac home standby generators now come with factory-installed Mobile Link connectivity devices. However, use cases exist where a homeowner may want to: 
 

  • Swap from a Wi-Fi device to a 4G LTE (cellular) device due to home network reliability issues
  • Swap from 4G LTE to Wi-Fi due to poor LTE coverage in their region
  • Swap to the Wi-Fi/Ethernet device in order to use a hardline internet connection
  • Install a Mobile Link device on an older generator with a compatible controller


Generac offers these devices to address diverse use cases for generator connectivity. Compatibility varies depending on the generator's age and controller model. A generator's product manual can be referenced to assist in the identification of controller types or see the Which Generator Controllers Are Compatible with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or 4G LTE?  article for more information.

Mobile Link Devices:

Note: An additional Mobile Link hardware product called the "Wi-Fi Kit" was offered for a brief period of time to homeowners who purchased compatible generators that did not come with otherwise factory-installed Mobile Link hardware due to supply shortages. See Is the Wi-Fi Kit Compatible with My Generator? for more information.
