Aquacontroller III to Wireless network

[Aynesa]

I got an ACIII, and so far I'm loving it, but (Isn't there always one of those?) I'm disabled and can't stand for a long time for lots of programming, I really need to hook it up to my computer. Because of the location of the tank (and thus, the controller) it's impossible to wire it into my home network. I have a wireless network in my home, and I bought a second router with the intention of creating a bridge, but after several hours with my husband (who is actually a computer programmer) trying, we have failed to make that work... I know that there are piece of equipment out there. The tank is out in a no mans land near my TV and DVR. The network backbone is a good 20 feet away in another room. Running cables is impossible due to the small children running around the house. Wired connections to my computer would be okay temporarily, but I'd like to be able to hook it up so I could access it anywhere. Suggestions would be most welcome!

You need a wireless bridge which is a device that will connect to the wired Ethernet of the ACIII and bridge it to a wireless port. There are many mfgrs that make them. Linksys, Dlink, Netgear are popular brands. Do some shopping on the 'net and you should be able to find a good deal on one.

Neptune has a furum here. You may want to try there as well and ask what people have had success with.
