Hello hopefully I can get some help with this. I bought an Apex Jr last March, but I haven’t been able to set up the aquarium until now. I’m having trouble getting my Apex Jr to connect with my WiFi. I’ve read everything I can find, and have tried connecting to “apex.local” or “172.16.0.1” and still get no where. My WiFi router is the Google nest router. Would getting a 2.4ghz router solve this issue? Or would that just be a waste of money?
Trouble setting up Apex Jr.

You should just be able to connect your phones wifi directly to the apex and from there program your apex to connect to your home wifi.
Edit: if it's a used apex, you will need to reset it in order to connect directly to it.

Glad it worked...
Just to clarify as people search for this thread.
The new apex acts as a wifi network that your phone (or any wifi capable device) can connect to. Just like new wifi compatable refrigerators show up on your network list. Once you connect directly to apex, you can add your home network and password so that it can connect directly to fusion. After that, everything is done through the apex fusion app.

No offense but the Google nest wi-fi is junk and a pita at best of times. It is a dual band wi-fi that isn't smart enough to see "hey new 2. device wants access" I ditched mine for a Deco xe 75 pro and love it! Also no messen around with port forwarding to get off Apex port 80 ;)
