The storm fisherman Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi All I am some advice on how to proceed I am currently running team viewer over wi-fi but it is a bit slow in responding. This also could be due to a using a 10 year old laptop as well . I am also currently in the process of wiring in a starcom usb 2.0 to cat 5/6 from observatory to the conservatory/warm room a distance of approx. 75ft which I intend to use as the camera feed back to new fast desk top in the conservatory/warm room for picture downloading the question is? A. Can I run all the other usb devices ie mount control, filter wheel , auto focuser,guide cam and security cam as well without sacrificing the main imaging camera download speed. B. or should I keep the wi-fi connection as well or am I over complicating the set up? C. or spend some more cash and run a second data cable and another cat5 to usb converter, this could be just standard usb. ps the main imaging camera will be either the ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool USB 3.0 Mono Camera or the modded Nikon D5200.

Pan Euro Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I run two cat 5 cables and associated converters and everything works fine. wifi for me at least is just to slow and prone to failing. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The storm fisherman Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Hi Ed Thanks for the feedback Having slept on it over night I am going to add a second wire and a powered hub/converter whilst it still easy to install. This is to run the ancillary Usb equipment Up in the conservatory/warm room where I can use my main laptop which is an i7 HP ENVY 17 then this will leave the main pc to do imaging only. paul Edited April 4, 2017 by The storm fisherman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
