    I have decided to save up for the Apex controller. I was wondering what else is needed to use the net module wirelessly. Does it come with everything I would need or do I need to buy something? What would I have to buy?

    You need a wireless adapter unless you have a ethernet plug near by. Commonly called a gaming adapter. That's assuming you have a wireless router.

    I run a wireless router. I can run a cat-5 between the two, but it isn't ideal. By wireless adapater, do you mean just a wireless antenna that plugs in to the ethernet plug?

    Aqua notes is no longer needed. You log onto your Apex across a wireless network or hard wire and do all your configurations and data tracking on your computer. No software required.

    I'll check in to them at Best Buy. I already DLed the Aquanotes app (free).

    Thank you for the info. I plan on buying the Full apex.
