Question: Can the Gauntlet still stream to your devices WHILE charging?
Document: This has to be the best thing in the universe. Anybody that still has VLC for apple devices knows that the only way to play those movies is to move them in through iTunes - a real pain in the rear. Now I can drop those files on Gauntlet and watch all the movies I want. The process is seamless and simple.I really love this device. If all it did was extend the storage capacity of Apple and Android devices, it would be decent.
I really want to like this product, but it just isn't working. My devices (iPhone 4s and Nexus7) connect just fine, then navigate to folders. All content is .mp4. Movies/shows begin to stream, then after a short while, the white activity light goes out. Like it goes to/sleep and the devices then say cannot play file. You have to power it down and back up again.
If that wireless network does not show up, wait a few minutes and try again. If it still doesn't show up, there is a strong chance of wireless interference. Some routers interfere with the initial connection. Turn off the router, connect the Gauntlet, and then turn the router back on (this will almost always work).Once the Gauntlet is connected to the iDevice, open the Gauntlet app. The app will show that the Gauntlet is connected.
The simplest way to explain the Gauntlet Node is that it provides shared WiFi access for several users to whatever files you have stored on it. That means you can load it up with your movies and music and photos, turn it on and it shows up as a WiFi Access point, and up to eight users can hook up to it and wirelessly stream videos or music, or they can download and upload files for sharing.
I have a TiVo with TiVo stream and I'm regularly putting TV shows on my ipad, so the memory is never enough. Before purchasing this drive I was also looking into the Kingston wi-drive, but I decided to get this because it offers substantially more memory for just $20 more.Setting up the Gauntlet was pretty straight forward and easy. It took about 4 hours to completely charge it before I set it up.
The apps are free and quite intuitive to use and are available for generic Android and Kindle Fire.I have used the Gauntlet with three devices at the same time and it works very well for watching films and listening to music using apps on the devices.
Then when you connect to the Gauntlet, it allows you to also connect to the Internet. This is especially useful in places where you have to pay for your wireless connections. For example, if your hotel charges you $10 per device, just connect once with the Gauntlet, and then use the Gauntlet as your access point for the rest of your wireless devices.
That movie streaming, that isn't limited to one device. No, up to four devices can be connected to the Gauntlet at once. The Gauntlet doesn't even break a sweat doing this. I had an iPhone and an iPad streaming a movie and I was downloading a 300Mb file to my computer - nothing burped. Everything worked perfectly at top speed.
The Patriot Gauntlet is essentially a portable hard drive with a rechargeable battery that creates a wireless network. It facilitates storage and sharing of files (including audio and video) and an internet connection with multiple devices such as laptops, Apple portable devices, Kindle Fire, and other Android tablets and telephones.
This Patriot Memory "Gauntlet 320 Portable Wireless External Drive" has significantly changed, and improved, the way we handle media files for use on our iOS devices (iPod Touch 3G, iPhone 4, iPad 2), Kindle Fires, and Android phones (HTC EVO 4G, Samsung Epic 4G).
Answer: Yes, but there is a trick to it. You have to start it while not on the charger and connect your device to it. After you have established a connection, then you can plug it in. It will keep the connection to your device. It will not stream when plugged in to a PC at all.
