I got an EXOS 2GT Mount with PMC8, and sorry to say this, but the mount is rather a let down in many ways, especially tracking and guiding.

Another thing, since I want to eliminate as many cables as possible, especially the thick and heavy serial cable that it needs - I tried to wifi connect to it.

It's upgraded to the latest firmware, and according to the info, the mount can be connected either way, no need to switch around in the firmware level if I want Wifi or Serial.

The problem is, I could never connect to the mount via wifi , like I could do my Skywatcher AZGTI. I know I have all the right info with the IP address and port number, but the Ekos doesn't see it.

The mount is definetely transmitting the wifi signal, I could see it on my Windows laptop wifi list.

Is this even possible or some steps I'm missing?

Thanks for any info!
