hey mate
i have the hardwire link between Skysafari 5 Pro and my CPC so none of your issues.
I note that you said you have scope TYPE set to Celestron Wifi? should it not be CPC? That's what I have on mine.
There's a couple of threads on CN regarding some potential issues with wifi connection. Not sure if any of these apply to you.
