Hi all. Thanks in advance for reading my question(s). I have been away from the group for a little over four years. I sold everything and moved to California. I just moved back a few months ago. I'm setting up a 90g reef and am in the planning stages. I would like to start my planning with getting a good controller. It would be great to be able to monitor my system (and hopefully control it) from the internet. We have Verizon FiOS and if you are familiar with that, you know it comes with their own router. Our router is on the second floor. My tanks are on the first floor. Wiring up the controller to my router is not going to happen unless I can do it by WiFi. The crux of my question is - does any company sell a wireless controller, i.e. one that can communicate with my router without physically attaching a cable from the router to the controller? If not, do any of the computer types out there know how I can accomplish this by using some kind-of wireless adapter (dongle?) device? I have this same issue with my tv, too, but that is a different topic (i.e. my tv is in the basement, my router is upstairs, and my tv does not have built-in wireless capabilities - is there some dongle or other gizmo I can buy to allow my tv to talk with my router?). For extra credit - I'm also considering getting one of those new Radion LED fixtures (or two). I love the functionality and ability to control them from the computer. Will I need two different programs then - one to program the Radions and another to talk to my Apex (or insert other brand name controller here) controller or can I control both from one interface? I have been away from the hobby for about 5 years and it is really amazing how the technology has changed just in this short time. Again, thanks for reading and I apologize if these questions have already been addressed elsewhere in the forums. If there are clues to the answers to these questions elsewhere, please feel free to point ignorant me to the proper threads. Tom
