I can second using GL.iNET routers, I have been using them on the mount for many years and have kept upgrading as they released newer faster versions.? The current model which I am using that makes the most sense to me is the compact Slate-AX AKA GL-AXT1800.? You can go faster on 5GHz. with a Beryl-AX but there is not a lot of advantage to it if you need to use the 2.5GHz. band for reliability.? As a person using ASIAIR which had about the worse Wi-Fi implementation imaginable I figured out how to add a wired travel router was key.? Initially everyone including ZWO said it did not work, but in fact it worked perfectly and fully resolved the Wi-Fi problems of the ASIAIR.? When the original Slate routers came out they had a built-in 3 port switch which eliminated the necessity of adding a small switch as I had been doing previously so now the Slate travel router solution also allowed access to the Gemin 2 over Ethernet without the extra piece of admittedly small piece of networking hardware which is how I have been using Gemini 2 for years.? The Slate travel routers have always had retained the 3 port switch feature as does the Slate-AX.? The Beryl-AX only has one LAN port but it can be reconfigured as a second LAN port if needed as would be the case for an ASIAIR user.??

?

The other great feature not often talked about for regular Gemin 2 users is that these routers can be configured to act as bridge router from the Gemin 2 on the mount to the home LAN over Wi-Fi.? So you can have access in the basement or wherever from the house Wi-Fi LAN out to the Gemini 2 using the Slate-AX as a bridge router.? ?
