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.

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.

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.
