You need to wait for the router to FULLY boot, and then turn on Starbook, and THEN wait up to a minute as it refreshes it's LAN. THEN copy that to SkySafari.

Now don't ask Stellarium....as I DO NOT USE IT

It's weird because I just had another go with the Nano reset (again) to default factory settings, turned it on and waited.

Then plugged it into StarBook, and for the first time ever the IP changed on the StarBook. But, it was 0.0.0.0. I got out of that part of the menu and went back in later and it had returned to the StarBook default 169.254.1.1.

I have never had the router connected to my computer or home ISP router network, only the StarBook through the LAN port with all settings being changed through the iPad. I can't find anything about WISP/WSP in the menu for the router and it is setup for DHCP by default.

Anyways I now consider the matter closed, I have managed to get some kind of connection with the NetGear Router (so much simpler!). But, will continue to plod on with the Nano in my own time.

Thanks again everyone.
