Quick question re: wifi/Apex

[Bluefish9]

Building a mounting board as we speak and want to go pick up a wifi adapter tonight.

Will this work?

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

This one is local. Assuming its the same thing and will also work?

Sorry for the questions. "IT" is really not my thing

I don't know about that one, but what will work is a wifi connection that has two parts: one plugs directly into your router and then into a wall socket for electricity and to transfer the network signal to the other end, which is by your tank and plugs into a wall outlet also. It will have the same wifi name and password as your router, so it "looks" to Apex like you plugged into the router. *word of caution, when you update the Apex, this can cause problems. I've done it many times without problems, but Apex warns you not to do it over wifi, so just be aware that it could cause problems. For normal daily operation though, it works great.
