Bluestacks connection with Ethernet

clouzot

Hi all,

I usually work pretty close to the ASIAir, and can easily connect to it via its own wifi. I can then either use the mobile app, or my laptops with Bluestacks+ASIAIR.app (which I grab directly as an APK from the ZWO website), with no issue whatsoever.
So what works in direct connection mode:

smartphone -> ASIAir wifi
PC / Bluestacks -> ASIAir wifi

I also often use the TPLink mini router that ZWO has been advocating on its website, plugged into the ASIAIr Ethernet port. However, a new issue appeared recently with a connection through the TPLink:

smartphone -> TPLink wifi -> ASIAIR: that works as before
Bluestack -> TPLink wifi -> ASIAIr: connection failure, as shown below

What could be happening?

The guide that ZWO posted as a ZIP file some months ago didn't help. It says to first connect Bluestack using the ASIAIR built-in wifi, then to switch to the "extender"'s Wifi and start the app again. No luck.

Had the same issue. Just go into the router and see what IP it assigned to the ASI AIR. Then enter it manually on that same screen choosing the Enter IP option.
