I want to eliminate the USB 2 Repeater Cable going to my mount.  It connects to a 4-Port Hub that connects to my Canon EOS, QHY5L-II auto-guider and QHY PoleMaster.  There were Wireless USB 2 Hubs many years ago but they were discontinued.  What are my options?  Thx

Much depends on distance, but best bet IMHO...(summary as there are numerous more detailed threads)...

 

1.  Mini-computer at scope running your software using Windows 10 Professional.

2.  Laptop indoors (any version of Windows 10). 

3.  Control 1 from 2 using Windows Remote Desktop with RemoteFX compression disabled.

4.  Connect 1 to 2 using your Home Wireless network or a pair of wireless 'point to point' receivers.

 

This route with RemoteFX compression disabled offers up to 433 mbps data transfer on a typical 802.11ac wireless network, suffice for even 4K UHD data transmission. As regards mini-computer, arguably any M3 or i3 Compute Stick or Intel NUC (or faster) will suffice and can be run 'headless' if controlled in this manner.
