Anyone use a wifi SD card with FFC?

Seems like it would be convenient to not have to shuffle cards if it works.

I have tried but never got it to connect to my router. Some others have reported that it works, it might just be the brand of router I have.

Did it work in other devices? Or not at all?

I have it working and it is great. Here is a link on how to do it.

If you look at the comments on that link you will see how to set a static IP properly rather than through the router mac assignment.

Thanks. Based on your recommendation, I ordered one of those 8GB here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=REG&A=details

Your welcome. The only problem is that the 8GB one may only let you name the file with 8.3 character format(old dos file naming) the 16GB one does not have that limit and the 16 GB is faster(class 10). The 8GB is slower(class 6) so upload will be slower. The one you ordered will work just beware of the file name limitations.

Class 6 or class 10 makes no difference, they both work fine. 8Gb is available in both speeds.

I have several of each and no problem.

I've got one. Tried it and it does work - sort of.
But the card software didn't let me upload files to the card just download. Not much use.
Also it auto shut off after a perid of time. Also not that useful.
But I could connect to it and it did work in the sd slot.

Given that my main printer is 12 inches from the card reader and the other is connected via usb as well.
I don't actually need it.

Might try it again when I move one of the machines into the house for a couple weeks next month.

Although given that I'll still need to be by the machine for the first layer. What's the point lol
might just as well write to card and take card with me.

I can see it being useful if you have a number of machines.

I think it's a toshiba card I've got.
I might have another go.

Were you using the 8GB card? If so it may not have been uploading due to the 8.3 character limit.
