Kessil AP 700 Owners Gather Here!
- Thread starter Confuse
- Start date
As I previously mentioned my only major issue appears to be that I can only get the wifi to work through the router if I disable all security and encryption. Obviously this is not the most ideal situation. Other smaller issues are not switching back to the program after the set time out period, lights staying on after reprogramming. The work around seems to be to switch back and forth between a preset setting like acclimation and the program I just did a few times, then it seems to get in order.
It really is a shame that this light does not function the way it should, because when it does work I find the output and coloring to be very pleasing. Having been able to control my other Kessil lighting through my Apex has spoiled me. It's too bad Kessil choose not to have a 0-10v input to control the AP700.

What kind of encryption are you using? It works fine with WPA2, which is what every home should use. You aren't using WEP, are you?
I am using WPA/WPA2 with AES. I have tried to connect to both a WNR3500L and a WRT54G both using the same encryption and it's been a no go. I tried various encryptions on the 3500L and nothing works short of turning off all security and encryption. This was the case both pre beta install and after.
Hmmm, I've had no problems with it connected via router. Here's my only advice:
- Forget the old Linksys router. Those old WRT54G boxes have been obsolete for a long time. Even if you have it hacked with DD-WRT or Tomato, it's still useless for this purpose. Wireless G is dead.
- As for the 3500L, I'm not sure. Are you running a wireless N network on 2.4ghz? As far as I can tell, the AP700 does not support N or AC on 5ghz.
The only other advice I can give is that when I set mine up the first time it appeared like it didn't work. Then, a few minutes later, it was connected. I've had no problems since.
The linksys was really just for a test purpose as it is, as you pointed out a old (but very stable) router that is flashed with Shibby Tomato. The WNR3500L is the router that I would connect to normally and it is 802.11N 2.4GHz wireless. I am puzzled to why I can't get it to connect to any router that is running any type of encryption?

Hey fellow Albertan! Where did you purchase your lights? When I had a problem with my Kessil a160we that suddenly stopped working one day, I contacted Ray @ Reef Supplies and he contacted Kessil on my behalf and set up free shipping back and forth for the new light. Super painless.
If it wasn't at Reef Supplies, try contacting the retailer and see if they can help. Since they do sell the product, and probably want you as a return customer, i'm certain they will at least try to assist you

Yeah, echoing Razor's comment. Don't settle for that service, get your LFS / vendor involved. This isn't some $40 ebay light, and if they want to cross-ship then the only thing you should have to cover is a deposit for the replacement fixture till your original one is returned.

So after much though for my upcoming build i think i got a conclusion to my light dilemma. for 135g cube 36x36x24 rimless SPS/LPS dominate. Im going to do 2 Ap700's mounted with the clamp on tank arms one on each side. I fig with 2 Kessils they say 24x48 spread but truly 36x18 so two should do it.
Whats your thoughts?? if not Radions G4 2 of them but I like the look of and shimmer of the Kessils.

Best Colour Selection for Growth?
Best Colour Selection for Growth?
I have an AP700 over my frag tank while I work on getting my main tank setup. I am just looking for feedback on what people have found works best for growth with the preset colours? It is a bit hard to determine what slice of the colour wheel people are using just from the screenshots of the graphs. For instance bif24701 it looks like you have moved to a lighter blue than you originally had as your highest point in the past, any benefit (in growth) from the change? I also notice that you have started to add red/green into the preset colour wheel colours, also any benefit other than aesthetics?
If possible list the colour names (from the wheel) as the shades can be tricky to determine.

I have made slight changes but only for aesthetics. I'm now at the very middle blue/white on the color wheel at peak and step up/down to second to last blue through the day. I've added 15% Red and 10% green again only for aesthetics. As far as growth or color I think you would be safe with anything toward the middle but with Kessil Logic you can be assured that any color you choose will get the job done, base your choices on what you like. That's one of the great features of the light.
I'm currently struggling with color due to a lack of nutrients that I'm working on by adding potassium nitrate.
