So, I had to disconnect my PC from the router in my house. In order to get my Eye-Fi cards logging onto this router, the requirement to be online in order to connect to it was a pain, and you can’t tell it to connect to a Wi-Fi network other than the one the configuring computer is already on (even if you want to use the card on a different network). The only time I ever use it is when shooting on location, with maybe a laptop, a couple of iPads, a couple of phones, and a camera or two (via Eye-Fi). I use a TP-Link TL-WR702N USB powered Wi-Fi router when I need a private LAN on location. In order to actually do anything with your card, even if you’re not going to be backing up your images to “the cloud”, your card needs to be on an Internet capable network in order to configure it. My cards are never going to be on a public Wi-Fi or connected to the Internet (except where you have no choice). Wi-Fi security really isn’t high up on my list of priorities in such conditions. I use my Eye-Fi cards used to use my Eye-Fi cards when shooting out on location in the middle of nowhere with my own private LAN, without another soul within a mile of myself and my crew. This may certainly be true, but isn’t it ultimately the user’s choice to determine what level of security they need? Their reasoning for killing off the products is that the wi-fi technologies used when the cards were first made are no longer deemed to be secure.
