Hi Guys, advice please

Moved over to a new tank and one of the disadvantages I now have is I'm now unable to get a lan cable to my profilux so want to know what's the best solution to get a form of wifi to lan bridge connected to the profilux, I currently have a wifi extender but it drops off all the time, so the app and my GHL keep failing..

Do GHL provide a wifi antenna or wifi card instead of lan card.

Second part to this is can I get a usb/wifi dongle (type thing) so I can sit on the sofa and access control centre rather then keep,taking my laptop out to the tank? If so can both the above and this be on the same network type box.

Any advice is welcome or even if you can tell me what to buy even bettter ;)

If your Profilux (2 or 3.x?) has a LAN connection, you can use a mini router in the client Modus

You can also use this adapter:

With this setup, you connect a short ethernet cable to the Profilux and this device. The device itself will connect to your WiFi network.

for a usb/Serial connection you need a Adapter like this

I mean, Vinnys adapter is a powerline adapter not a Wlan adapter

Power line adapter is what I use in my house.
