This setup still relies on having a PC/laptop out at your scope. I went with this (EoP) option as my home wifi range does not extend reliably out to the obs.
The EoP hardware I use (Netgear XAV2001) looks like a wall wart with a 240V plug on one side, and an ethernet socket on the other. I use three of these for my setup - one inside the house which is connected via ethernet cable to my router, and the other two outside at each of the two obs computers.
I then have my two mount/cameras/obs_computer/XAV2001 plugged into two powerboards (one for each mount) fed by a common extension lead to the house. A short ethernet cable runs from each XAV2001 to the obs pc. In short it basically gives a wired ethernet connection from the obs computers to the home router, so I can I remotely control the obs computers from the house via Microsoft Remote Desktop.
