Replacement for iAqualink 2.0 antenna

[CasaFenice]

Hello everyone. Apparently it’s a common problem for iAqualink antenna to disintegrate under the elements. Bad engineering on behalf of Zodiac!
My antenna lasted about five years before crumbling and become non-responsive. Like many if you on this chat, I would like to replace that antenna without having to buy the entire device for $700. Therefore I would need to find out (from someone who has already installed it and confirms that it works) the exact type of antenna that would connect with iAqualink 2.0 app.

I have already purchased one from Amazon and successfully installed it (I bought one of the many offered online, operating with 2.4 WiFi connection) but unfortunately that particular model doesn’t seem to connect with the iAqualink app. It gets recognized by the app but it would not connect with my home WiFi. So frustrating!
Is there anyone here kind enough to indicate EXACTLY the model that works for him (and possibly where to order) the infamous antenna?
I would truly appreciate any help!
Thank you in advance.

You say the antenna gets recognized by the app. Then you say it does not connect to your home WiFi.

If the app connects using the 3A - WiFi Hotspot Method, then the antenna is working, and your problem is with your home network.

Show us the screens you are seeing.

I am in similar situation. Which antenna worked for you? Can you share the details or the purchase link so that I can try the same.

Hello everyone,
Were you able to get the antenna to link to both app and WiFi and work properly by chance?
My antenna “kicked the bucket” as well.
Thank you!
