The Celestron WiFi adapter won't work if it is plugged into the SW mount, the two are incompatible. If the WiFi adapter is plugged into the Starsense adapter then it should work in theory. The SW Starsense has an interface which translates the commands from the Celestron handset and Starsense camera into Synscan mount commands.
