Connectivity requirements

Before purchasing a subscription, homeowners should ensure that their generator has a reliable cellular or Wi-Fi connection. Refunds are not available for issues caused by poor connectivity. A Mobile Link device is required. For details, see the Mobile Link Wi-Fi, Cellular, and LTE device compatibility guide.

• Cellular (formerly 4G LTE): Upgrading to the Connectivity Cellular Accessory is recommended for users who wish to add connectivity to their generator or users experiencing ongoing connectivity issues. It is compatible with more generators and uses multiple carrier networks to offer greater coverage. Basic (free) and Premium cellular plans are available for users of this device. See here to upgrade: Connectivity Cellular Accessory
• Wi-Fi requirements: A dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network that supports 802.11b/g/n protocols is required for Mobile Link. 5 GHz or dual-band networks are not supported. Setting up a separate SSID for your 2.4 GHz network is strongly recommended to maintain a stable connection. For more information, see Is My Wi-Fi Network Compatible With Mobile Link?
