Re: 12V Exterior grade Wireless Access Point


 

OK my terminology was wrong. I want to have a laptop at the telescope connected to a "box" that connects to my wifi network and has a couple of ethernet ports, one for the G-2 and one for the laptopn.

So, I need a recommendation for that "box" (and maybe a correct nomenclature ...).

Huh? You literally said that you were looking for an access point ("... so I'm hoping I can find a good AP...") so I pointed you at one that is both weatherproof and is powered by PoE; two common features of outdoor access points. The one I pointed you at would be mounted on the outside of your home/building and optionally be equipped with external antennas; even directional ones. Your imaging PC would have its own wifi capability and the external AP would have a single ethernet cable that is ran internally inside your home to wherever your router/switch is located. Perhaps you didn't fully articulate your requirements or have something else in mind?

That's the whole point - I already have a WAP and router, I just want a wireless connection from the telescope to the network - i.e. no ethernet cables except on the 'scope.

Any of the Ubiquiti mesh access points are a good choice. They all do PoE, so you only need to run a single cat5e (or better) to it with a (usually provided) PoE injector in-line with the cable back at your switch/router farther inside the house, or no PoE injector at all if you have an ethernet switch that features PoE ports.

I don¡¯t greatly wish to lay a long Cat6 cable to my ¡®scope, so I¡¯m hoping I can find a good AP that can connect to my ethernet network. Needs to be suitable to use outside, and run off 12V.
Recommendations most welcome.
PS I¡¯m in the UK if that makes a difference.
Thanks
