I also seem to have hit this same issue using the 12000XP.
My flow:
1) Turn on inverter
2) Mostly seems to be working
3) Get dongle setup, good also working
4) Can't find gen boost setting, despite manual, decide I need firmware update
5) Update firmware via website
...
6) Inverter restarts, house/wifi router lose power
7) Inverter is now in Standby mode.
8) Dongle seems to be unable to connect to the internet
9) App / Website report the inverter as offline
Only hope so far is that I can do the 'locally connect' option while on the dongle's wifi network, but not sure if any of those changes are useful.
