    Base unit does not turn blue

    I am trying to set up my Apex system after shutting it down for a few weeks. When I turn the power on, the lights on the base unit and the energy bar go through the color color changes, but the base unit stays orange after turning green. It never turns blue.

    When I started it up a few weeks ago, it connected fine.

    Unfortunately, my tank started leaking slowly from the front bottom seal and had to be replaced. I carefully disconnected everything and stored Apex in a safe location. It was not damaged during the leak at all. Now I am trying to restart it, I cannot connect to my wifi. I tried to press a Reset button with a paper clip, but it does not seem to respond. Pressing it with a paper clip does not click or gives any sort of feedback.

    How can I get passed this issue? Your help is greatly appreciated.

    You want the status light to turn orange, that indicates that the Apex is connected to your home network. Blue status light would be the Apex is in WiFi access mode until it gets connected to a network and then changes to orange.

    Try http://apex.local/ to see if you can get to your Apex Local page.

    I connected to the apex.local, but the status light is still orange. The apex.local shows the old data from the previous session a few weeks ago. I tried to connect to my Apex hotspot by looking for Apex's network/hot spot, but I cannot find it. When I entered "Apex Setup" with the serial number, my iPhone said it cannot find the network.
