Monitoring Parallel Quattros and Color Control GX Wirelessly

I recently installed 2 Quattros in parallel on my boat - system works great. The system includes a Color Control GX, Digital MultiControl Panel and BMV-712 Smart. My system schematic is attached.

I use a MacBook Pro computer connected to the spare RJ45 port on the Quattros and a MK3-USB to monitor my system with VictronConnect. I want to use VictronConnect wirelessly to avoid tripping over network cables and to monitor with my iPad. How can I achieve this with the system shown?

Hook up your CCGX to your (W)LAN and you can access the CCGX remote console.

What additional hardware is needed and how do I hook up the CCGX to the (W)Lan?

You can use a RJ45 cable to connect your CCGX to your LAN or an USB-WiFi dongle(BPP900100200 or BPP900200200) to connect it to your WLAN.

Did the drawing in Apple Numbers. Easy enough to insert images.
