I have had to replace old Inverters that were working but not meeting specification and were causing weird problems offgrid.
My clients power systems that run Insight from Schneider and Optics are always hard wired to an ethernet port on the cable or wireless router to avoid other problems. The same with Hughes net. Just easier avoiding issues for me:) Good Luck!

I have a wonderful off-grid client near a tiny Colorado town, and the internet connection comes in via cable...it's pretty reliable. But the Cable company set up whole-house internet via powerline, little white boxes that plug into the 120VAC outlets with a LAN cable to the routers, one of which deals with both the OpticsRE interface and the RESOL solar thermal logging and is hard-wired. We got both going on the same powerline router, but the screen shot below shows the horrible reliability. Now the RESOL system is having problems on the web, also. All this modern data is layered on the 120VAC output of a marvelous old Trace SW. The home is 2 foot thick concrete and stucco walls layered with rebar inside and out, not wifi-friendly. My suggested solution is just wifi extenders. Has anyone else tried to do OpticsRE over a powerline router connection offgrid on antique Inverter power?
