I have finally taken the time to test Sky Safari Pro using Access Point Mode instead of the Direct Connect mode so I can have the connection on my home network. I followed all the instructions religiously to the ‘T’ and I was only able to get it to connect once to my home network. I also tired the Sky Portal App and I am having the same issues. I was able to get it to work with Celestron’s new CPWI act which runs on my laptop. The instructions are pretty much the same except on CPWI it a different Menu option.
After I had it working, I shutdown the mount and put the switch back to Direct Connect Mode then reconnected using Sky Portal and Sky Safari Pro and no issues. I then told the apps to use access mode and sent the information from both apps and got a confirmation that everything was updated. I then told me to move to switch down to Access Mode which I did but from then on, I can’t get Sky Safari to reconnect using Access Point Mode.
Any Ideas?
