New to Apex

[truepercs]

Just bought and set up a "new to me" Apex (Gold version)

I have everything up and running... I am waiting for calibration fluid however the probes are providing a reading. Also waiting for RJ45/3.5mm cable for ramping Kessil. (It also came with a NetGear Wifi extender)

The extender has WPS feature
Our service providers router has WPS feature

I used the WPS feature to make the connection.

One thing I noticed when experimenting before setting it up in it's final position is that when I shut the power off both Apex and WiFi extender when turning it back on it would not connect to.

I had to reset/all settings and re link in order for it to work again.

I have it installed, changed settings, and everything is working. If for some reason Apex went off line or power went out is the settings saved internally? or just in cloud?

Will I need to reset everything and re-link the Apex after a power outage?

Thanks!

Neputne, the maker of Apex, has a very active user community and you can get a lot more help there.

Neptune does not officially support WiFi for the Apex but I have seen some posts on their forums. If it is possible to use a cable to the Apex everything will be easier.

When I used a wifi extender I had to program a static ip to prevent losing connection with power outages.
