    Wired connection install

    I am upgrading to 2016 model and want to set up the wired way as opposed to the Wifi mode. I have the unit hooked up to ethernet cable from modem and the light on unit is orange. When I type in the address bar "apex.local" I just get taken to a search page for the words. I also have tried 172.16.0.1 I tried a different internet engine and apex.local still pulls up search for said words and 172.16.0.1 shows connection timed out. Is this just a problem with my computer or am I not doing something right? I have tried searching around on the boards but have not found any solution.

    Try http://apex.local instead of just apex.local
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Do you happen to have the Apex's IP reserved in your router's DHCP? I had problems when I had both wired and Wifi setup and had the IP reserved. It would happen any time the Apex rebooted. Removing the DHCP reservation would get it working again. I have not had a chance to investigate that further.

    It was actually a problem with webpage that was automatically using frontier to search internet for apex local as a type of web search instead of just going to typed in address. All good now.
