Hi!
Is there a way to set the Apex to auto-attempt to connect to Wifi if the Ethernet connection is lost? Or maybe it’s automatic?

For whatever reason, my apex will intermittently lose connection (even with it being connected via Ethernet) and it will sometimes take hours for it to auto-reconnect.

Wondering if I can set it to attempt a wifi connection for when this happens.

Thanks in advance!

I have my Apex setup for both Ethernet and WiFi connections, and I think when I disconnect the ethernet the WiFi picks up automatically. I'd have to test to be sure.

I wanted to run it off ethernet for reliability but I found that in this mode it would disconnect the WiFi connection between my WXM module and my Kessil lights. So now the Apex is only connected to the network via WiFi.
