It sounds like a frustrating issue! Since you mentioned that your CCTV system works fine with the same setup, it does seem like there may be an incompatibility between the Oekofen boiler control software and the Vodafone Power Hub. Here are a few things you could try:
Check for Firmware Updates: Ensure both your Vodafone Power Hub and the dLAN adapters have the latest firmware installed. Sometimes, compatibility issues can be resolved through updates.
IP Address and Port Forwarding: Verify that your boiler has a static IP address assigned and isn’t changing. If the boiler uses specific ports, try setting up port forwarding rules for those ports in your router settings to ensure that data is being correctly routed.
Disable Wi-Fi 6 Compatibility: Although Wi-Fi 6 generally offers better performance, it can sometimes cause issues with older devices or software. If possible, switch the Wi-Fi setting to a previous standard (like Wi-Fi 5) or connect the boiler’s control unit to a Wi-Fi 5 network and see if that makes a difference.
Alternative Network Setup: Since the boiler worked with your previous router, you might try setting up an older router in bridge mode as an intermediary between the boiler and your Vodafone router. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the direct connection to the Vodafone router.
Check App Permissions: Ensure that the Oekofen app on your phone has the correct permissions and isn’t being blocked from accessing your network or mobile data. It might also be worth uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
If none of these solutions work, you could try connecting with Vodafone support to see if they have any specific advice for your router model. Hopefully, one of these steps will help resolve the issue!
