Trying to figure this thing out. I don't want to run a network cable from my router, everything on my network right now is Mac. What will I need to get this to work? Thanks.

I use a wireless booster that connects the apex to your router. Mines all apple as well. The booster is around 40 bucks I think. You WILL need a long cable to update the apex software though. It can't be done wirelessly. Also, check out the videos on bulk reef supply. I used them to get mine all set up. They have around 20 videos on different pieces of equipment. It's shameless self promotion but very much worth watching. Saved me hours and HOURS

Dear god never updated your Apex through a wireless laptop or wireless of any kind. If using a laptop, hardwire it to your router as well as hard wire the Apex to the router or you WILL have issues including bricking your Apex.

Do you know the make and model of your wireless booster?

I was thinking of getting the airport express but it's 110$

Yes sir. It's the king of bad ideas lmao.

My booster is a TP link. White box. It's white with a blue light
