Alkatronic Wifi Plug

The new Alkatronic no longer comes with the wifi plug. Can anyone with an alkatronic that has the wifi plug tell me the brand of it?

thanks

How do you like the new Alkatronic, did you the wifi plug figured out?

I was able to source one from someone not using theirs. works great! I do like the alkatronic but with support, they are not very responsive. But overall, the alkatronic is solid and paired with a calcium reactor makes it shine.

What kind of issues are you running into needing support, I see this often that it's taken care of through FB, which is not that good for me, hopefully the need for support is limited.

I just purchased and am waiting on the alk/dosetronic I use 2 part balling.

I'm not the most tech savvy when it comes to networking, but i will be reading and following directions, that's why I am more curious about new owner issues as they seem to pop up for most, and how they were dealt with.

Thanks for your info

No issues with my alkatronic. I had a ton of problems with the Mastertronic. took a long time and several new replacements to get it working and even then it wasn't all the great with No3 measurements. I ended up selling it. I also had the dostronic. Only problem I had required a reset of the SD card. That is usually the fix for all the problems. The alk/dos cobo is pretty solid. I no longer use the dosetronic because I went with a calcium reactor.

Make sure you calibrate correctly, It can cause a lot of problems if its not right. Also get a scale to mix the reagent. it's a 4 to 1 ratio. I usually cross check with my Hanna after making a new batch.
