<p>You will return to the inverter home screen. If everything went well, the communication with the new router—and thus with the internet and Sunny Portal—should now be established. You can now close the browser on your smartphone, tablet, or PC and reconnect your device to your own Wi-Fi network. Once the connection is successful, you will have a steady <a href="[[~2007]]">blue LED</a> on your inverter. The graphs on Mijn Zonnefabriek or in the Zonnefabriek app will not update immediately; that usually takes a few hours.</p>
