Frustration continues with apex

[MBVette]

I was working on getting my wxm up and tried to do an update that failed. But I did manage to get it done and I think I got my 3 MP40's onto the wxm. But then I sat down onto my computer to do some work and flash is no longer working. My entire network is getting this error now, and the only thing that changed was the WXM running an update. Any ideas what would cause this?

 

I have tried reinstalling flash and that didnt change anything; and even went to another machine that was working fine before and I get this same error. And it is not just the apex its everything that runs flash has stopped working.

 

 

I dont see how this is from the apex, but I also dont see how it cant be. Everything was working 100% fine until I started doing this wxm update that failed. But what could have caused this and how can I get flash back up on the entire network?

Reboot your computer and test on some other flash enabled web site. If that doesn't work for some reason, take the Apex offline and resolve the IT problems first.

ok so it seems the flashplayer is working now after a reboot. I plugged the apex back in and everything is still working except I am still getting that white screen when I try to get back onto the apex.

try to reflash the firmware on the apex. backup your stuff before doing so.

I can see I don't want one of these, what a pain!!

how do I backup the apex? and how do I reflash it?

If this is the easy one to setup I would literally shoot myself with the other ones.

ok got it back up. On reefcentral they said to update the apex firmware, found the updater and got everything back up. Thank goodness I dont have to reprogram this darn thing.

I'd been thinking about upgrading to a APEX but I think I'll stick with my ACIII

Don't let these post change your mind. I had an AC III and now have the Apex. Once you play around with it for a few minutes it is easy to flash firmware and get outlets working. The only tricks are some home networks need a few adjustments for apex to work without a firewall blocking. And the new firmware & android / iphone apps coming out this fall will make it that much better.

 

I have fios so I went into the router settings and change a port forwarding setting. I also gave my apex its own IP on my network. Then using canyouseeme.org I can get my ip address and ping apex to log into web-interface to adjust settings and see graphs.

 

Good luck getting yours to work the way you want.
