rodrigol OK. More progress made (or not). I've manged to get the tablets to connect over STA using my phone as a hotspot and connecting the tablets to it while it shares my mesh network. I want to repeat that the previous version did connect without any problems but version 2 seems to be unnecessarily stricter about 2.4G and 5G. I've powered down the 5G on my network (to great inconvenience) to try to see if I could connect the tablets directly without success. Being able to connect these via STA is critical to using the asiair+ to any network is critical for me. I run a netgear Orbi mesh, asiair+, AM5, ZWO EAF, ASI294MCPRO, ASI120MM and unless the ZWO ecosystem works on the network as it did with the previous asiair version, I'm just going to have to rely on NINA, ASCOM and Teamviewer and ignore the asiair+ altogether.
