So the tinker board is setup to run as a WiFi hotspot. I then remote to it via my laptop with remmina. I run Ubuntu on all my computers and remmina is the default RDP. Works great. Never had a wifi drop out. Even if it does it doesn't matter cause the tinker board is doing all the work. My laptop is just my monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I don't use my home WiFi but if you need greater wifi range you could if you wanted to. You could also use ethernet cable instead. With kstars you could easily remote via the Internet to your remote observatory if you want to.

I also use a raspberry pi zero w on my big screen tv. Once I have an imaging session going, I can then monitor what's going on without the laptop. I just switch channels during commercial's to keep an eye on things instead of sitting outside in the cold.
