Can confirm that this exceedingly cheap
(and cheaply made
) CF microSD WiFi card works in my HP 320LX. You have to use this terrible app called WiFi@SDCF
(available for Android and iOS
) to configure it, and the default password is the un-crackable secret code 99999999, but it does work. I'd have liked it if it let you store some configuration files on the microSD card sort of like the FlashAir does, but I'd also like a unicorn so...
Worth getting? Maybe. If you're in a situation where you need to get some files off the palmtop and onto a WiFi capable device but have zero cables or adapters then sure it's a solution. Is it a better solution than using a CF card adapter to just plug it into whatever device you want to put the files on? Probably not if you have a laptop or Android device
(any USB OTG cable will work
). Is it better than springing for a $30 Apple branded
('cause not all the no-name ones will work
) lightning to USB OTG cable? In my mind, yes.
Security is WPA2
(fixed
), channels 1-11
(selectable
) with a max simultaneous connection of 1-3 clients
(selectable
), and you can specify it's IP, as long as it's 192.168.xxx.1 SSID is WIFI@CF by default. It can operate in AP or STA mode. That's a nice feature but I doubt I'll ever use STA mode.
Yes you can change both the SSID and password, but why would you want to, as I said it's so obscure no one would ever guess it! The app, at least on iOS doesn't appear to allow for files to be uploaded to it, although it seems like the functionality is there it didn't show any of my local files to allow for any uploading.
Pointing a browser at it's address doesn't load anything, which is a bummer but again, this is super cheap. An EZ Share is around $25, an eye-fi is about $20, and a FlashAir over $100
(?! what the heck that's gotta be a typo Amazon!
). This is $17 and has the advantage of taking a nice 2GB or less microSD, that's more appealing to me that partitioning a 4GB WiFi SD card that might not enjoy being FAT16.
