I think it is connected by ethernet, but I could switch it to wifi easy enough.

Mine is working well on the guest network. It will hold the connection for several days or more. It only seems to be when there has been a network outage or disruption that causes it to need to reconnect. The downside of the Guest network is that you cannot communicate directly to the Apex like if you want to pull a system log because the guest network is encrypted to prevent devices from accessing your regular network and vice versa. I have a hunch though that that is what keeps the Apex from getting messed up by other network traffic.
I wanted to run an ethernet connection direct to the router, but that did not work just like the main wifi connection. I don't really consider this fixed, but it is functional.

I added a router just for the apex and it's working well now with no disconnect for past 14 hours. Seems like this is the easiest resolution. Buy a cheap router and put the apex on that new network.

I just went through the ringer with neptune for a good few hours a couple months ago, the best route is setting up a dedicated IP to run your apex on so it doesnt get confused.... that being said, like some of you have said, I set up a guest network to "trick" the apex and it has worked flawlessly for 4 months without a hiccup. My apex's hardwired connection doesnt work and I didnt care to send in for waranty so I did this instead.
