My dongles are not connecting to the EG4 monitor center

I recently setup the Flexboss and Gridboss at my house and had the dongle's successfully reporting to the EG4 monitoring center.

However, earlier yesterday, I performed the action "reset to factory" while locally connected to both units, I then re-connected the dongle's to my WIFI, but they were no longer able to connect to the monitor center.

Upon further I found the Dongle Connect Params had changed for the section "Network 1 State", specifically the "Remote Port" had changed from us2.solarcloudsystem.com (3.101.7.137) to the IP 120.79.53.27.

My firewall shows both dongle's constantly to connect to 120.79.53.27, but the dongle itself never succeed in establishing a connection to the EG4 monitor center.

How can I reset the dongle's internal remote port value back to us2.solarcloudsystem.com (3.101.7.137)

Attaching a couple images of the dongle connect params showing the internal change to the remote port value.

Would you be able to DM the Wi-Fi dongle serial numbers?

I've got this exact issue too. I reached out to Signature Solar who are working on it.

Also, I find it interesting that the Address and Port fields seem to be reversed, but the tech at Signature Solar confirmed that's normal.

Would you be able to DM me the serial number for the Wi-Fi dongle? I can take a look at this as well.
