1Dx Ethernet with a cheap WiFi adapter - DYI link

Recommended Posts

<p>The WFT solution is pricey so here comes a workable DYI solution for mainly studio (=power source required although a rather large power pack will do for on location use) <a href="http://www.iwannashootyourface.com/blog/2013/4/wireless-tethering-for-your-1dx-with-no-hacking">http://www.iwannashootyourface.com/blog/2013/4/wireless-tethering-for-your-1dx-with-no-hacking</a><br>

I have not tried it yet (I will!) but it apparently works and frankly is no different from a router I use in hotels to connect multiple devices to a single Internet (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) access line/logon, in places that limit a number of devices connected by each guest.</p>

<p>Hopefully Canon will include Ethernet ports in future bodies because as of now wireless USB is a non-starter.</p>

<p>Do-yourself-it...<br>

That's how the Sheriff of Rottingham talks in the Mel Brooks' version of The Robin Hood ("King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!")<br>

Seriously, I dunno...perhaps a DIY dyslexia... </p>

<p>OK, going back to the <em>leitmotif</em> of this thread, I have put together a similar setup and it works! I can connect to an access point and to an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network on my laptop and use DPP. My router is Zuni Connect, BTW.</p>

<p>Very cool! I'll mention that there is such a thing as a short, maybe 1' length, Ethernet cable, usually used for patching a modem into a router. I don't know where you'd find one, but I'm sure they can be had somewhere.</p>

<p>You can get Ethernet cables as short as 2-3 inches. 6 inches are also available and 1 foot are common. Or get a crimping tool and roll your own.<br>

Cables Unlimited, Monoprice, etc. are good sources in the US.</p>
