Anyone with an Apex JR.? Need some help!

[nmertz1]

I just got my Apex Jr. In the mail today and I plan on setting it up later this afternoon. Any tips/tricks/advice??

Also. My tank is not anywhere near my router, so I won't be plugging it in to monitor it via my phone. I think you can buy a wireless adapter? Not sure.. But do I need to be plugged into the internet in order for it to work? I know the initial setup you may need to..

Thanks for any help!!

You don't need to but it makes it a lot easier :) .... pretty straight forward just follow instructions.

Aren't there some wireless adapters out there I can connect it to?

Idk ... don't think so but could be wrong. .. if so I want one lol

I was reading you can use a wireless gaming adapter, but aside from that I don't think Neptune aquatics makes something to do it.

No I know Neptune doesn't but you could use a 3rd party wireless bridge like a gaming adapter...

That's what I was reading, but that's all I found for making it wireless when I searched.

thank you. But I am setting this up with a display module and not connecting to the internet. I have my lights set up perfect on the times I need them, the heater is set and the other 2 outlets I just want to remain "on" .. Do you know how I do this from the display module? Like what would be my on and off times??

On the display you have three settings. On, Auto, and Off. For the outlets you want to remain on, you can just leave them in the On setting, thats what I do.
