I attempted to use both but then each on there own. You have the option to turn on and off WiFi in local and fusion. I think me and the Neptune support tried every combination.

So today I was sitting around work thinking about how to re mount the apex (the working one).. I cleared the schedule of one of the painters and went to work.
I will do my best to get build pic's as I go but it should be home tomorrow ready to accept my new apex head unit!
There is quite a bit more to do and cut but this is what goes orange (takes my paint a while to dry but is automotive grade
) Matching Neptune's PMS colour is a pain! I had to make the logo from scratch as well .

When you got help from Neptune re- setting the unit after those bugs, what connection did they recommend you starting up with, WiFI or Wired?
Did you have problems trying the wired one?

I had issues with both.... As of right now I have WiFi on and it is wired, It seems to hold the connection now but I have not checked it in a while. If I leave is just on WiFi it loses its connection and I have to re setup the wireless SSID and so on. If I leave it just wired it seem to hold a bit better until I try to do anything then it starts disconnecting. I don't know I cant wait to get a new head unit.

New apex mounting board is in... Still have quite a bit to do and should be able to switch out the head unit tomorrow. Here are some shots of the build today.
Here it is as I start mounting everything.. I am still missing one EB832 should have it next Monday I hope.
I will have to post on my build thread it is in need of a update..... Soon!

@Elder1945 how is the connectivity working out for you lately?
I'm Receiving my new unit after mine bricked over the weekend tomorrow and come to the crossroads of continuing the upgrade or just returning the new unit. I need reliability because I work long hours and the classic hasn't failed me yet; all my probes have been super reliable too and the difference in the probe reading from your refractometer concerns me.
That being said: Neptune has a+ customer service trying to get this product out to us in working order. I realize it may just be software and I'm excited to progress with the new unit. My programming was so involved so I'm a little worried about the crossover too :/

Its still hard to say.... I have yet to get my new head unit... It might work 100% of the time and there would be no issue at all. Then again I have another new apex arriving on Monday or Tuesday plus the new head unit I hope tomorrow.. Next week I will have setup and tested 3 of the new apex's. This will give me and everyone I believe a better judge on how the conductivity issue is. If all 3 are the same the we know. If it is a isolated incident we will know that too.
As for recommendation it will work eventually and you issue is a different issue then mine so who knows... IDK its hard to say... I am keeping mine

Im getting my new head unit thursday and if that also does not work i will just return the whole thing and wait for a few months until it is better test proven.
Like mentioned above, the customer service is A+ but the Equipment has to work..

I agree 100% and I will see as well. I have my apex gold on standby just in case. I'll keep the 2 I have but I have no issue switching back if there are still problems after the hew head unit is here.

Just an FYI. I have had the new apex set up for past 4 days. Working perfectly. It is on a wired network. Set up was easy and straight forward. No issues so far . However I am not running as a complex system as Elder1945. There maybe hope on your horizon

Used power bars
This is good news! I cant wait to see if my new head unit arrives today. I honestly just want to program my new apex and finish wiring it.. I have new fish to add and a build thread to update!

This give's me a lot of faith that my new one will work without issue!
can't wait...

Well I spoke to soon or gave myself the jinx. I have been monitoring this the apex like hourly. Suddenly the salinity probe dropped out and I lost connectivity with fusion. I rebooted the system and the router and we are up and running. However when it powered up all probes were disabled What is VERY concerning is that both heaters were on DISPITE having a fallback of off. This is a new cycling tank so the potential for damage was low. I went to settings and all the probes rebooted in the disabled position. I was able to enable all the probes and the heaters turned off. I hope the Neptune guy reads this and comments

As of now this head unit is working better... I have yet to do Fusion as I have a good hr or 2 of programming

No profile to import? It would have been nice to have a simple way to let users importing the existing configs.... specifically when you are switching the base unit only....
