ASIAirPro, Star book 10, TP link WR 802N nano router

#1

Post by Deserter »


I'm a network numptie. I have it on good advice that I can use my AAP to connect to the SB10 via wifi using a TP Link Nano Router (the router is wired by a short LAN cable direct to the SB10)

This is for my astrotrips out into the desert, so it will be a standalone and with no internet connection.

I'm now heading into the foreign language of 'network babble' so bear with me..

The Router can act in a number of different modes.. Client, AP, Hotspot or Range Extender. I'm assuming the mode I need is Hotspot and have been advised to set it up as a WISP. Or is that Wasp?

Anyway, I've got as far as logging onto the router from my PC, accessing the menu page and settings, and selecting WISP. It then does that network thing of ever increasing bewildering submenus which have me baffled as to the correct settings to choose.

Is there an idiots guide to what settings to select to enable the AAP to connect via wife to the SB10?

OK finally worked it out

Set the TP wifi router to 'WISP' mode

Plugged it into the SB10 LAN socket

Started the AsiAirPro and changed the wifi mode to 'Station'

Picked the TP Wifi SSID to connect to

Voila. Wifi connection between AAP and SB10, don't need the LAN crossover cable between SB10 and AAP. Only have one cable now, the 12V power cable to the AAP (plus the two cables into the SXD2 body)
