I have a travel router that is connected to my Pi unit that drives the Ekos software. Minus holding the true time this combination works when I use the IP from my travel router and connect to this on my MacBook via Real VNC. Unfortunately I can't say the same with holding a connection to Ekos when trying to use the Stellarmate App on my iPad.

On the Settings page I have no trouble discovering the IP that is on my GL.iNet travel router. This brings up my telescope and guidescope on the same page. As far as holding a connection to Ekos however I can see the Ekos tab blink on and off every other second. If I click on Ekos when it is blinked on right away a message pops up saying that it is Syncing.

Since this same combination works with a stable Real VNC connection on my MacBook I am suspecting the Internet settings. At the telescope my Pi unit that drives the Ekos software is connected to a Ethernet cable. The other end of the Ethernet cable is connected to my GLiNet travel router. On my iPad I am connected to the IP that is driven from the travel router. In the Stellarmate app there are several internet related combinations of settings such as hotspot, ethernet and WiFi. Since the signal from the travel router is carried through the air I have chosen WiFi for my choice of internet connection. Is this correct?

In a somewhat unrelated thread Jasem suggested that I remove the Stellarmate connection that I had from the settings page. I did this and scanned for a replacement. The behavior with this repopulated connection is the same with sync issues.

Is there something that I am missing on my end?
