review about starfi wifi

I know one person says it is junk but what he has failed to do is to get the drivers necessary from Ioptron telescope control downloads for specific Ioptron EQ and AZIMUTH mounts it is all there on Ioptron website Mine did not connect at first either until I downloaded the telescope Ioptron control for my CEMP- 25 equatorial mount it works perfectly with wifi or an RS232 to USB 2.0 or 3.0 -----3.0 is a faster port

Junk

Received this to use with multiple ioptron mounts that I own and it will not connect to wifi either using an ipad or a laptop as advertised. I tried changing settings as described in the instructions and none of them worked or allowed a connection. If you are looking for a wifi module for a mount, buy the SkyFi module instead which works everytime without issue. I will be returning this as it is defective and does not work at all.

When exploring the night sky, the StarFi Wi-Fi Telescope Adapter is your key to a seamless, wireless experience. This innovative device, developed by iOptron, transforms your telescope mount into a wirelessly controllable unit, offering a new level of convenience and flexibility.

With the StarFi adapter, you can effortlessly control your telescope mount using your preferred planetarium software via the iOptron ASCOM driver and Commander. This feature allows you to navigate the cosmos with ease, right from your computer.

But the connectivity doesn't stop there. The StarFi Wi-Fi adapter also enables you to connect your mount to your smartphone or tablet. This means you can use popular software like Sky Safari to guide your stargazing journey, whether you're using an iOS or Android device.

The StarFi Wi-Fi adapter supports 802.11b/g/n, and can be configured in either AP (default) or STAtion mode. For added security, the device also offers password protection.

This versatile adapter is compatible with a range of iOptron mounts, including CEM60/CEM60-EC/iEQ45 Pro/iEQ30 Pro, iEQ45/iEQ30 w/8407 (requires a DB9 RS232 male to male connector), iEQ45 w/8406 (requires a DB9 RS232 male to male connector and an iOptron RS232-RJ9 cable #8412), ZEQ25/CEM25, and SmartEQ/Pro (requires an external 5V power source. A USB power cable is available). Please note that the adapter does not support Cube/MiniTower/SmartStar PR mounts.

The StarFi Wi-Fi Telescope Adapter may also work with mounts from other manufacturers, provided you have a DB9 RS232 male to male connector and an iOptron RS232-RJ9 cable #8412.
