Do you have a recommendation for a travel router? Could I still have a wired connection to my home router?

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.?

Re: New computer ethernet woes
Looks like you set the IP Address and Gateway address to the same value. They should be different. Another working ethernet device will likely verify the proper Gateway address.
Also, usually you don't specify leading zeros: 192.168.1.100 is the usual format.

The ASIAIR / Gemini-2 combination works great! I have used USB to connect the two no problem. That said you need to used the correct USB ports on both for best results.?

Re: Model parameter change upon sync in Starry Night - Newb Question
Hi George, Gemini.NET doesn't automatically re-read the changed parameters unless it knows that it needs to do so. If you update the model through Gemini.NET, it'll automatically update these by re-reading from Gemini. When you change them from the HC or through some other piece of software, you'll need to tell Gemini.NET to reload the parameters. The three simple ways to do this are to: 1. Close and reopen advanced settings window 2. Press "From Gemini" button on the advanced settings window, or 3. Press the "Get Settings From Gemini" menu in the modeling parameters window:  Regards, ? ?-Paul

When I had attempted to do this on another computer indoors, each sync within Starry Nights updated the modeling parameters, but I never performed an initial align with the hand controller when doing this.?
Does Gemini.net not update modeling parameters it initially receives from the hand controller?
A fully separate question: Does Gemini.net read the GPS from the Gemini II Mainboard? Mine does not when I query through Gemini.net.

Re: Latest indi updates for gemini
A couple more fixes. Konstantin Baranov fixed the tracking rate selections. It looks like they've been broken for a long time. I fixed the "tracking ON / OFF" status in ekos. It looks like those were broken for a while also. They actually did correctly turn tracking on and off, but they did not correctly indicate when tracking was off. The "ON / OFF" issue will hopefully pass review by morning. The tracking rate selection has been available in nightly builds for a few days.?

Re: G-11/Gemini compatibility with ASI Air
I agree with Zolt – whenever my ASIAir fails to recognize/connect to my G11G, it is always due to the cable. Either the connection is poor at the ASIAir end (loose), or the USB-B (printer) cable itself is bad. In the former case, you can
try plugging it into different USB ports on the ASIAir – preferably USB-2.0. You want to keep your imaging camera on USB-3.0.? --Rob
