Re: G-11/Gemini compatibility with ASI Air
As a data point toward this topic, I have a G11G and am currently using an Astroberry and a GL.Inet AX1800 to control it. The G11G's Gemini is connected to the AX1800 by ethernet cable, as is the Astroberry. The AX1800 then connects over Wifi to the house network, where I can remotely access the Astroberry. I've never used USB to connect to the Gemini, ethernet has always worked trouble free for me. I purchased the AX1800 because the wifi on the Raspberry Pi running Astroberry was too weak, and I needed to run an ethernet cable to the Gemini. So, the AX1800 has given me a stable wifi connection to the Astroberry and the Gemini.
As for how I set up the three devices, Losmandy has a good video on how to set the Gemini up for ethernet control, and there was a post somewhere on here (sorry, can't recall exactly where at the moment) describing how to set up a "travel router" for this usage case.

Re: G-11/Gemini compatibility with ASI Air
I can't speak for Jim (hopefully he'll chime in here)
I assume what he meant was (for example) plugging in computer via USB and then other devices via ethernet.
Kind of a hub/router for USB?+ ethernet

With the ASIAIR and Gemini-2 connected to a Wi-Fi router you already have a complete standalone network you can connect to using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.?

Hi Rob, Don't do what that person did. The person who posted the review / experience of the Slate router had nothing to do with shortcomings of the GL.iNET Slate AC750 router and everything to do with shortcomings of the person posting.? The poster had no idea what they were doing and didn't understand the ASIAIR or how networks and routers work.? ? I posted how to use a travel router to fix the ASIAIR Pro and now Plus Wi-Fi problems years ago. Hundreds of people have used that information to sucessfully resolve the ASIAIR Wi-Fi defect.? Yours is the simplest situation - fix the ASIAIR Wi-Fi so you can use it as it should have worked out of the box to directly communicate with a smartphone or tablet, not over the house LAN or Wi-Fi network. I use Android phones and tablets so if you have an iOS phone or tablet I can help with the router but others will need to pitch in on the phone side though it is pretty much the same with different ICONs used. Many as in almost all iphone and tablet users? have found that turning off wireless data helps getting their iOS devices to connect to the Wi-Fi more reliably. That is my one iOS pro-tip.? Once you have decided to act instead of just suffering all you need is the travel router, buy one with external antennas, and a couple of CAT6 cables long enough to connect your ASIAIR and Gemini-2 to wherever you place the router. On router placement, do not be tempted to locate the router as part of the moving payload. To do this makes the Wi-Fi signal pattern change as the mount moves and you will be confused by the lack of Wi-Fi signal strength consistency.? The rest is easy and takes maybe five minutes to setup if you have done it before and maybe ten.minutes if not. If you get a GL.iNET travel router let me know, and if interested I will walk you through it. Or look for my old posts which had screen shots and comments on the settings.?

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.

? 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 native Wi-Fi of the RPi4 or CM.?
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.
