Hi, new to the forum here...
Anyone have experience connecting to a Jandy iAquaLink 2.0 wifi pool automation system and Google WIFI pucks?
I'd like to replace my Jandy PDA system with the iAguaLink 2.0, but am having connectivity problems. I'm using Google wifi and am not getting any pass through back to the iAquaLink. Seems like it's a one way communication at this point. I get through the initial setup with the iAquaLink, connecting to my network and I can see that the Jandy is connected to the internet (green lights on antennae unit state connected to web, and webapp shows hardware device ID), however I am unable to connect/login to the software application that they provide for pool automation.
iAquaLink --> Google Wifi --> internet I can see that the device is online
From internet --> Google Wifi --> iAquaLink does not work. I get a generic connection error message and need to refresh. Never am able to login to the software pool automation system.

I've tried various IP reservations, port forwarding all to no avail from the Google WIFI administration app. Jandy's tech support folks don't know much about networking, only state that I should be on 2.4ghz or call a licensed installer for help. I don't have any issues with any other wireless device in my house..

I've even tried direct ethernet cable from the iAquaLink to a Google puck, still no luck. I have not connected the iAquaLink directly to my router, however, because I don't have a 100 ft ethernet cable. I'm thinking of adding another cheap wifi router/antennae and connect as a bridge through the Google pucks. Hoping that might work.

Anyone have experience and success with WIFI setup? Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
