Apex Controller

[FishNFrags]

Anybody have their Apex running on a wireless set up? If so how did you do it. Gaming adapter to net portion of system?

That's the best way to do it. The Netgear gaming adapter on Amazon is what Neptune Systems recommends. There are a few others out there to choose from.

The Netgear isn't to most intuitive to setup but once it is setup you're fine. I like to assign a static IP to that gaming adapter when setting up the Apex. It makes it a bit easier to manage.

If you need some help give me a shout.

I run my RKE with a Trendnet Wireless Gaming Adapter.

Most of the new gaming adapter are USB...... how did you hook that up to Apex? Ethernet to usb adapter?

I just bought a netgear one at Walmart. it was over in the TV accessory section. it was wifi to ethernet. setup was pretty easy too on it.

Same here netgear. I reserve IP's on my dlink gaming router and it works flawlessly. Getting the email alerts to eork reliably is another story. Apex unit has issues jiving with comcast.

Or if you can get an old router. Look at the link in my sig to flash an old router with ddwrt

Comcast blocks SMTP traffic (port 25) unless you use their SMTP server. You have to use port 587 for SMTP relay on a Comcast connection. They are also in the process of blocking port 80 inbound to residential connections. Looks like you got that step though.

I had to use port 7901 on my comcast for my rke. Worked like a charm now I have 8080 for router access and 7901 for the tank.
