So I'm posting this after what I believed to be a solid system for my stellarmete steup.

I'm currently using a raspberry pi 4 8gb with stellarmate os and all devices are powered by a usb hub with 3 amp power for the pi. I connect the camera and guider directly to the pi.
I then connect to the stalemate wifi server from my home PC through by local network.

Image transfer are sent to my main pc through wifi. This has proved to be around 20 seconds of transfer.

Yesterday I went out again and the transfer was 120 seconds. However the worst part is that Ekos crashed after 1 hour after imaging.
This is ofcourse a huge bummer as you need to initiate guiding and all sorts of settings again.

My options to try to solve this is

Install Kstars and ekos on the pi and remote on the PI
Save images on the PI with an external storage device

This way I'm not at the mercy of the network any more.

Anyone is doing it like so? Am I doing something wrong?
