zml Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zml Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah_fox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zml Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
