When we use the existing home network, one thing is very important: due to poor Wi-Fi implementation in X-Pro2, both X-Pro2 and the PC must be connected directly to the same access point. For this purpose we can use either a home Wi-Fi or… we can create separate Wi-Fi network, served by the PC instead of home Wi-Fi access point and dedicated just for Fuji data transmission. I know that some people have issues establishing the connectivity with existing network, so here are some instructions, discoveries and thoughts.įirst thing: what network to connect to? This article is limited (by design) to only one option: transmitting the data from the body to the PC.
I definitely prefer using Wi-Fi for this task. I use this option all the time as I don’t like removing cards from the body, guessing what is on which card, shuffling them in the reader. X-Pro2 connects to the existing Wi-Fi network and uses it to transmit pictures / movies to the PC.The hot-spot created by X-Pro2 is open access hot-spot, so if there is anybody with Wi-Fi – enabled device close to us, he / she can “hear” what we transmit. While connected, it works quite well, but please remember: the Wi-Fi implementation used in X-Pro2 gives no security at all. This option is suitable if we want to use smartphone or tablet to control the camera and/or to download pictures and movies to the phone or tablet. X-Pro2 enables the Wi-Fi and works as access point.
Fujifilm X-Pro2 gives us the ability to use Wi-Fi for communication.
