You have to connect via a cable from your Apex controller to the router and then from a laptop or other computer via a cable to your router. This is a requirement that cannot be skipped or changed for the Apex firmware update. Other device updates, such as WMX controllers, etc. can be updated via a wireless connection but NOT the Apex controller.
The Fusion program is excellent so I strongly recommend that update to the latest firmware for all Apex controllers.
Neptune has an excellent community forum that provides answers to any Apex question or issue.

You misunderstood what I said. I said, a wired connection from laptop to Apex but a wireless connection from laptop to Internet was fine. That is straight from Neptunes website. But if you don't trust it that is fine. Wired all the way is good too. (Sounds like something I would have said back in the 70s).
