manually set this IP on your mac

IP:192.168.1.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

and see if you can get into the router..

Hate to be a PIA, but how do I do this?

Hey guys, I log into my router with 192.168.100.1 but the LAN IP once logged in lists it at 192.168.0.1, which one do I set DNS to?

 

[Wankell]

nvm, I hard wired it for now, just want to get it running!

Nice!! Any updates I should know before attmpting this??

 

[ToXIc]

Not really pretty much the same.

Okay. Im new to most aquarium technology. The impression I'm getting is that you can make two routers communicate wirelessly. One of them will be hooked up to the pc. And the other one to the tank equipment? and what aquarium devices can be controlled this way?

 

[ToXIc]

This is used to connect your apex controller to your network wirelessly. Or the net module for you reef angel.

Basically it can be used in place of a long network cable for devices that are not wifi capable.

 

[Sicks Rocks]

Makes sense. Thanks for getting me caught up on the topic and I'm hoping soon to be able to do this on my tank

 

[ToXIc]

No problem.

I will have to get with my tech savvy son who will check this out. I have the Lynxsis router you speak of. Will this work with the Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper Lite unit?

WRT54G's are beasts with the firmware upgrade. They turn a 30 dollar router into a 200 dollar practically enterprise grade router. Even let's you monitor wireless strengths to the db.
