It is all getting confusing now.

I never once tried connecting this via WIFI - only directly to my PC for Starbook updates (last done about 2 months ago so know the ethernet port works), so I have NIL direct experience in doing this. You need to remember, this is a third party "add on/feature" never designed for this (as the technology did NOT exist when this was made), that just happens to usually work. The Starbook does everything Skysafari/Stellarium does, so honestly, this all seems redundant to actually do. But I digress.

There are a multitude of factors to make sure this works, not to mention the simple fact Starbook simply won't do ANYTHING until you exit out of the menus and back to Chart or Scope. Even the Starbook 10 - the latest one - does this (nothing is executed or actioned until the menus are closed)

The one VITAL thing is in Skysafari to TURN OFF SKYFI searching - otherwise, it simply will NOT connect or search for anything else, period. This step is absolutely vital! Even I could not connect to the new Starbook 10 SXP I have UNTIL I made that de-selection.

Start again, doing it in the order advised by multiple persons, and make sure of all the checks and tick marks.
