Hi guys,
I am buying some helios, and they have some wifi device to connect.. it's how you change the lamp settings.. any help from someone who knows wifi lingo and such as I'm trying to get these setup, and I'm horrible at computer network..
so HERE is the manual if you can help me. turn to page 14 ( other specifications can be found in manual )
GOALS:
-get nuked with least possible "wifi radiation"
-simple / clean
-smallest components
-run program off a windows tablet
-be able to move helios and have that freedom when I want, not, set and you can't move it deal..
so questions already:
-I can't hard wire "switch" to router, as router is outside grow room, and don't want a long ass Ethernet cord running around the house to my router..
-so can I hook these up wireless so no cords running from grow room to router? if so what options as I want something small..
-I found this HERE. can I use these on every helio? will that work? I would like this as I'm not sure exact placement of helios so there not going to be lined up, two might be in another room... so I wanted an option like this if possible so I can move them around whenever I like.. bad is power cords everywhere!
-if I can use the above. does the N mean it will do all the lower power wirless signals ( a / b / g ?? ) and will it work with the helio ?
-also found this option HERE, if it simplifies and will have two lamps paired together
-why didn't helio build in a wifi card into the units, because they were suppose to be "linked" together???????
-if I can't run what I found, what other options, also needs to be small, and as my setup, I'm running two sets ( 2x in one room, 2x in another room ) so you know equipment wise
well I guess i don't have any more questions as I can't think of any.. any help with how to hook these together would be great, as all I know is I have a modem and wireless router.. from there I don't know, but I can learn quick
Thanks
