    i have a trend gaming adapter on mine, works great. TRENDnet TEW-647GA bought it on ebay new for 35.00. oh what ever one you pick be sure to set it up with a static ip addy.

    Was this easy to set up on a network with a WEP key? If so, did you have to connect it to a comp to enter the key or can you do this from the apex?

    yes it was very easy to do you plug it into your computer put the disk in and it leads you threw set up. when the gaming adapter is set up with your code/password/ and ip addy in it.... you than unplug it from your computer and take it to the apex and plug the apex into it. i tested the wireless set up by turning off my laptops wireless conection while the trend was still hooked up to the lap top. if you have internet , you did it right. than i hooked it to the apex

    i didnt know what way to go so i emailed Neptune and asked to give me an idea of what im looking for. this is the unit he said he was using with his apex. so i went on ebay and purchased it within 5 minutes.

    i think you will be amazed at how simple it is to set up.

    Do you have a wireless router? if so how far from it. I have mine wired to my wireless router and then i can access it from any computer in my network. I like the wireless adapter.

    Roughly 125 feet. Literally the other end of my apartment. Wired is out of the question.

    if you run into problems private message me i will try to help. remember to do a restart on the apex unit, if you change the ip addy on the apex unit. i learned this the hard way. lol after a bit of frustration my brain kicked in and i thought oooooooo
