- Battery bank rewired to 24v and Classic 150 charged them up today (old 12v inverter removed from system)
- Upgrading inverter to an Outback Power VFX 3524 / Mate 3 (will receive tomorrow)

Question: Can the Mate 3 be interconnected to the Classic 150 to receive it's data?

I have the Classic 150 routed wirelessly to receive Local APP data on my laptop...works great.

Question2: If the Outback Power Mate3 won't talk to the Classic 150...can I use a second Wi Fi extender with a Cat5 input? Do they make Wi Fi extenders with dual ethernet ports?

Goal: Be able to "see" data (Local APP) on laptop and Mate3 on laptop at the same time. The Mate3 also has algorithms/data screens for a solar charge controller...not sure if I want to use the Mate3 to control the Classic 150 that way. If even possible to do that.

Thanks.
