content: I bought three of these cards I know they should operate the same way as my Verbatim Mediashare.When this card shows itself in the WiFi list on my phone it drops as quick and so on. I'm getting a sudden feeling that in all the past 36 of programming that something fishy is going on.But I shall assume based on my own belief that if a computer can function then it can not be emulated at the other end in a 1984 world and simply run amok at the behest of a moron.With the rant over does anyone know how to access the SSID and is there a password or is the AP set to open?AndrueSent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

content: Do you have a model number?I have seen them selling under various names and the manuals may differ.I found a Youtube review of one of these with the same packaging from Gearbest.WiFi SD Card Adapter Review (Gearbest)https://www.gearbest.com/memory-cards/pp_226615.htmlTranslated:https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=it&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fi%2F32333683414.htmlQuoteI have got similar ones but built in and they are 32GB Toshiba FlashAir W-04's .No "apps" needed unlike the others I have tried.The config for the Flashair is in a text file hidden in a hidden folder in the sdcard directory so it quick and easy to set it.I use it in infrastructure mode (APPMODE=5) so I can automatically upload photos from the camera as I am taking them or I can get them directly when it is joined up to the wifi.I had difficulties at first as I couldn't find the setting I want in in the Flashair software but found it in the developer guide what to set in that hidden file.Quote

content: Thank you for your quick and kind reply.There was no manual apart from what was on the back of the product. I get the impression that if it only supports cameras why does make itself visible when plugged into a SD reader.If this is the case how does it function as a AP when it supports usual AP functions like change SSID and log in details. I'm a little bit confused about the emphasis with cameras and multimedia.I would really love to use these adapters as file servers, files of any type.AndrueSent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

content: In some cameras where the casing is metal the signal can be poor and when I close SDCARD lids which have metal inside it makes it worse.I had some problems over the previous model FlashAir W-03 which came out in 2013. The signal was very poor in my camera and had to be a couple of meters away for it to work. It was slow so I used a robocopy script to copy the files over which appears to work quicker than accessing and copying them directly.I replaced them with the FlashAir W-04 (2017) last year and the signal seems to be an improvement and I can copy directly from a distance away without it stalling.
