    Help using Apex el on a local network

    Just got an Apex el. I live in the country with no internet except for cellphone mobile hotspot.
    I already setup my apex, no problem. But now i just want to use it the dashboard without having to turn on my hotspot all the time. How do i do this?

    You need to connect it to a wifi or hardwire router that is on the same local network as your phone or computer.

    See the WiFi Lock Access Point Mode topic near the bottom of this page

    Yep i read exactly that and when i go to my apexs network setup i don't see anything about the luck access point mode. Can it only be done during setup? How would i turn it on now?

    Put the Apex in WiFi setup mode by pressing in the reset button until the status LED turns blue - about 5-6 seconds.

    Then do as instructed in that topic on the webpage I linked.
