Been using the Quieter3Q since January without an issue running APT, PHD2 & Stellarium and associated software, powered off a Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen - though I made my own power lead for a couple of dollars.
At home I connect to it via my home network & on the road use a cheap TP-Link travel router. It does have the ability to operate as a WiFi hotspot but this doesn't start automatically on boot so you need to run a script if you wish to go that way, I never bothered trying it myself.
The mount, imaging camera & guide scope all connect directly to the 3Q, leaving the 4th USB free, I connect the PPAG2 here but that isn't necessary unless you want to access the PPAG2 configuration so you could connect another device or even a USB hub if needed.
I got the 8/128GB version and added a 1TB NVMe & moved the OS & boot to that which sped things up substantially as the installed EMMC drive is pretty slow.
All in all very happy with it for a portable imaging system.
Cheers,
Mark
