Inconsistent connection from Apex to Fusion

[solitude127]

I recently changed out my router and now I'm having issues with my Apex Jr staying connected to Fusion. Originally, I was using a NetGear gaming adapter but then I tried it hardwired and I'm still having connection issues. If I reboot the Apex, it'll connect back to fusion but usually, within a couple of hours, it'll start dropping off and reconnecting and dropping off and reconnecting. Fusion says that it's lost connection to my Apex 58 times in the past 24 hours. I currently have it setup to a static IP. Any suggestions?

Look up setting up a static IP for your APEX. That should resolve your issue.

If there was ever a device in the house that needed an assigned IP, this is it

think it would be better to set the Apex to DHCP?

Static IP is pretty solid and make sure your wifi is only putting out 2.4g and not 5g or create a designated 2.4g network for certain devices. Mesh routers can be messy going back and forth between the two.

Yes, if it plays nicely... but nothing will beat a static IP to a device... connections can be re-established a lot quicker

Exactly! I'm going all Hydros on my nano build. Especially now that they have a hardwired outlet strip that is it's own controller. Love my Wave Engine.
Regardless, static IP's on a separate 2.4g network and you're golden.

10% off hydros right now and no tax from premium aquatics. I have them for over a year now and it’s been really consistent.

Just cause he's in IT doesn't mean he's in networking... :blown:
