Apex internet

[jelly]

I used to use a game adaptor for my apex but it never really worked all that well. I now use a power line adaptor and it works wonders. Very happy with it and I would recommend it over a game adaptor any day. Easy to setup just plug one adaptor into the wall and to the router and the other into the wall and to the apex.

They are great. Just remember not to plug it into a surge protector device as that may cause it to not work properly.

Is there a good guide somewhere for how to set up the APEX on the wireless and on the internet? I was just at someones house and he was controlling his tank with his phone. It was very cool and useful. I have the APEX but am not very tech savvy but would love to do this before I leave for vacation.

Do a search for the unofficial guide.

the unofficial guide will help you set up your wireless. it will tell you how to use an gameing adaptor but i would still go with a powerline adapter. when i used a gameing adaptor my apex would lose wireless all the time so i wouldnt beable to control it hardly. now i have no worries about it and i control my tank in WI from FL when i need to. you will more then likely need a DSN service to.

Thanks. I will search for the guide. A big part of the problem is understanding the language. For example, I don't know what a gaming adapter, powersource adapter or DSN are. lol. Time to learn a new langauge, I guess.

Thank you. That is the kind of step by step I am looking for. It looks like if I follow this, I will then be able to use the APEX guide to
program it from there? Is there an app. that people use to control it from their phones or do they access the APEX over the web?

you can make an adpotor like toxic shows but it take time to convert it into what you need and can be confusing and it was for me. i like the powerline cause it will work better cause it dnt send a wireless singal. it sents a internet signal using the wires already into your house. these are powerline adapters. Newegg.com - TP-LINK TL-PA211KIT AV200 Mini Multi-Streaming Powerline Adapter Starter Kit Up to 200Mbps. use what you want. DSN allowing you to keep a static IP address for your apex
