Question Why is micro inverter saying its wifi connection is 433 mhz? I thought wifi is 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz ?

Why is micro inverter instructions saying its wifi connection is 433 mhz? I thought wifi is 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz ? Is this some kind of metric thing?

Probably labeled wrongly, should be 433 Mbps.

Well, I could be wrong though, some specialty electronics might use non standard frequency.

The system you show is a subsystem using the 433Mhz signal to broadcast to its own modem which in turn sends 2.4Ghz to your in-home router.
It requires separate equipment for monitoring.

The "WIFI modem" is a device that converts the 433Mhz to standard WIFI. It would be from the manufacturer of the micro inverter. That is why it is a "modem". It converts one communication standard to another.

Looks like you need another device that they call a modem. This documentation is extremely poorly written it appears to be a translated document so some things are hard to figure out. If you search for WVC modem you will find other vendors that sell similar equipment that are somewhat better in explaining how this is setup.
