Re: G-11/Gemini compatibility with ASI Air

The reviews of (an earlier) GL router used in conjunction with ASIAir Pro were not promising at the link below (admittedly from two years ago):

I¡¯d love to be able to occasionally monitor how my imaging runs are coming along without stepping outside (in the cold) and standing within 8 feet of my scope. I¡¯m not a Wi-Fi network guy, but clearly there has to be a simple Wifi solution
for overcoming the slow, short-range communication capabilities of the ASIAir without physically connecting an ethernet cable from the ASIAir to my nearest (indoor) Linksys Velop or Apple Airport Express.? --Rob

If you add high performance mini travel router into the mix your Wi-Fi range will suddenly become much larger and your smartphone or tablet user interface will feel a lot faster because it is no longer being hamstrung by the low performance

Adding the travel router also allows you more flexibility in that you can now reliably connect to you home net work and work from a laptop or PC and a bigger screen. Oh and you get to be warm too.?
Do you have a recommendation for a travel router? Could I still have a wired connection to my home router? Or do you then connect the Air to the WiFi using Station Mode??I've been using a wired connection from the Air to my home router,
which works great (though I do have to deal with yet another cable, of course), at least if I'm not out in the field somewhere.
Zolt,
I had been using the old TP-Link nano travel routers in Bridge mode to get an Ethernet Wi-Fi connection to the Gemini 2 for many years with a laptop. nearby. Then the ASIAIR came out and suddenly the Wi-Fi speed as well as the Ethernet port became particularly
important.
My research led me to the small GL.iNET travel routers which have 2-3 switched 1Gbps Ethernet ports and faster Wi-Fi standards. At the time, the old Slate AC750 had 3x 1Gbps Ethernet ports. Then came the Beryl which has 3x switched 1Gbps ports plus dual band
2.4GHz. & 5GHz. AC1300. Currently the fastest mini travel router is the NEW Beryl AX3000 which is a blazing fast Wi-Fi6 router with 574Mbps 2.4GHz. and 2402Mbps on 5GHz. bands. If you want to see your preview frames load almost instantly this is the travel
router for you.?
I'm running the Beryl AC1300 and plan to buy the new BerylAX3000 soon.?
The new Beryl AX3000 only has 2 Ethernet ports so no cable connection is possible here but if you buy the Slate AX1300 you will have the necessary 3 ports.??
