Hi Steve, had a look at the logs, they look mostly normal to me, and if the ttyUSB1 stays that way I wouldn't bother too much, got some questions:
- do you have a so called eqmod cable? it seems pl2303 may look like one and the eqmod chip may cause problems on Linux (I recomment in fact using normal USB cables)
- are you running through a powered USB? The lines containing "over-current change" indicate that whatever device is there is requesting more current than the pi may provide. Can't tell for sure what kind of device is there, you may have more luck adding usb_max_current_enable=1 in /boot/config.txt

That was my first guess Steve, yes.
ZWO (bit more generically all dedicated cameras) do nor use serial ports for communication but rather their own SDK and some libusb magic to find them.

when you say nothing in dmesg, have you tried to pull the cable off and reconnect to see if anything happens on the usb bus? can you also post the output of lsusb?

hey Steve, when something like what you see happens it likely means the device gets disconnected (reasons here can be vary, but most often than not is about voltage drop)
May I suggest to open a terminal and run sudo dmesg -w
It will tail all kernel logs and you will see any action taken against your devices. That should help at least identifying the root cause

Hey Steve, serial comma is a PITA and this affects a lot of people. I am testing a small utility that will hopefully solve this problem once and for all. This will be a script that will mount your preferred devices under a static port like /dev/myAwesomeMount and we can feed then ekos with that value so that even if the real port will change, the linked one will be always fixed. Stay tuned

Ok cool, thanks. Now I have a clear picture of everything.
Cannot say anything at the moment as I instead go full opposte and never use it hooked up to my wifi but I will make some tests tomorrow to see if I have similar issues.
Will send you also some commands to check if the WiFi chip keeps disconnecting from the WiFi network. Don't recall it at the moment but there are logs related to this fact somewhere

At first, as I learned, you have to go through the hotspot because the system doesn’t know about your LAN. Once you get in you set up on the pi to use your LAN.I am not sure what you mean here Steve, nobody ever had any issue with plugging the pi immediately into your LAN. It just works out of the box unitl you have DHCP enabled on the router.
Can you explain what you did?
