A local club member suffered a stroke recently and to be able to take over my portable imaging rig to his house to offer some mental stimulation I had a problem of the WiFi range with my Asiair plus.

Setting up the scope in the back garden the WiFi signal was not strong enough to reach the lounge and I did not like to use his home WiFi in station mode so I came up with this battery powered WiFi extender

Once the scope is setup and polar aligned I can put this extender on the kitchen window sill and we can sit in the lounge controlling the scope with a Doogee tablet.

The usb powered WiFi module is from Vonets used in extender/repeater mode and has a surprisingly strong signal for such a small unit.
