iPad/iPad2: AdHoc wifi?

rG-tom · 28 Mar 2011 at 16:36

Hey,

Can't seem to find a definitive answer for this; do either of the ipads support adhoc networking?

Basic use is to use an eye-fi card to transfer jpg images to the ipad instantly whilst out in the field, having to have a wireless router makes it all far less simple (such as a mifi).

The pro x2 has adhoc, does the ipad or will it?

Cheers,

Tom.

That thread is a year old, since then the iPhone 4 has had the wireless access point mode and the iPad 2 has come out

The only way to get photo's off your camera into the ipad is to use the camera connection kit.

I used an ad-hoc wireless connection with my iPhone and iPad V1 last year with no probs.

Not true. Use MyWi on Cydia, an Eye-Fi SD card and something like ShutterSnitch.
