Does the wifi only work with a tablet or phone? And do you have to use it for social media sites or will it go to a computer?

Hi Worldwood, The wifi feature of the camera works both for smartphones and tablets and supports the following: 1. Sending images to a computer. 2. Sending images to a smartphone. 3. Using your smartphone to control camera to take pictures. Vincent

It works fine with wifi, as do almost all tablets. The reason to get a data plan is to access the internet when not within range of your wifi.

yes it will handle facebook and any other task you wish, but it will all depend on how fast your internet service is.. for my kids i have wireless wifi from my home office to the kids computers and they have no problems on fast service from the internet.. again it depends on the speed of your internet provider but as far as the computer goes they work great for the kids school work and surfing the web.. i have 2 computers and only issue i have with one is that it wont download pictures with a usb cable from camera into computer but other than that there great..

As there is no wifi connection, if you are talking about a direct upload, no. The camera is treated as a drive, however, when connected to a computer, so I would assume direct upload would be possible is the social media accepts images the size of those stored in your camera.

No it works with any computer that has WiFi capability. But it can also be used through USB

From my understanding it will not hook up directly to your iPad. You would need to use a computer like a laptop to send the WiFi signal to it but that however requires separate software altogether. So not it will not by itself.

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

This is a wifi model it does not work over a celular data network. To use the online fetures you'd have to have it connected to a wireless network.

The camera itself is a "hotspot". When it's on, your device (iPhone, iPad, or smartphone) pics up the wifi from the camera and sends your pics and vids to the app on your device. So you can't take a pic and send it to Facebook or whatever from your camera. But instead to your device, then to whatever. I hope this helps. You, probably like myself thought that it could send pics directly to the social media of my choice. Not the case. Still a great camera though.

This is the response of the area that uses the wands..."We use the cord to connect the wand to the laptop for viewing images. I was under the impression the WiFi only worked if you downloaded the app on your phone (which we have used). I could be wrong, but I didn't think the WiFi worked any other way other than the phone app."

The wifi is weak on this tablet. You have to make sure your wireless is seen and just connect to it. Would be the same way you connect your computers to your wifi or any wifi.

Hello. If you want to use it to chat, you need wifi. If you want for example to view photos or listen to music contained in the memory card does not. If you have further questions, write back. excuse my bad English.

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

So so, you can connect a mobile (IOS) devices in my case in two modes m , direct to the camera and through a wireless access point mode. You cannot download or view videos (gutted ) but can do with photos. I've not used it used it for social media sites and can't comment on that side.It is ok, but can be a pain switching between more than one devices and profile setup.Hope this helps.Polo

I believe the "mobi" only communicates with your phone. This one will commmunicate with a computer or the phone. I set my wife's to transfer to her phone first, and then the eyefi app transfers them to the computer via a WiFi network when available. It is nice because she uses the SLR for pictures, and still access and share pictures on Facebook. Then it automatically transfers those pictures to the computer.
