I have a new Apex which is on wired ethernet. When the router is down I cannot access, I cannot get the Apex to concurrently use both Wifi and wired ethernet. SO if I am away, I would like to have a caregiver be able to access the Apex if the router is down. The APex and Aquarium is on a very large UPS (APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA UPS Battery Backup plus APC External Battery Backup Pack (BR24BPG) plus 4 large marine batteries) so the aquarium can run for a while. I also have an amazon fire tablet on that battery backup. The Fire tablet can talk locally (10.0.0.253) with WiFi to the apex provided the router is running, however when the router is down I can't log in in as WIFI is not present.
I am relying on my programming is adequate to a power failure. Without a communication method, I cannot make adjustments to that programming.
If the Apex cannot concurrently run wired and WiFI, can I add something like IOGEAR Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter GWU637 also on battery backup and log in through that using WiFi?
If the Apex can run both wired and WiFi, how do I make that happen and is http://10.0.0.253/apex/dash local to the Apex? Or is 10.0.0.253 in some table on the router.
I tried cascading 2 routers in series but in that configuration, I lost Fusion.
Thanks, Gary
