Will high speed sync function wirelessly?

Yes it does sync wirelessly. My preference is not to use a flash, but I like to be able to use it if needed. I looked in the owners manual for the flash, set my camera & flash controls for high speed sync (flash off camera), set my controls for a shutter speed of 1/400 & confirmed it does indeed work. It is night here already, so I set my ISO @ 6400 to get the fastest shutter speed indoors. I then took a picture or 2. High speed sync cannot be used in bounce mode. I have not experimented with this feature. tonight was the first. I hope this helps.

will this units firmware support communicating with the external pc software?

No you'll have to initiate the sync by pressing the top button on the unit.

I think that will depend on the HDD you install on it. I installed a low cost WD 2tb drive and the wireless transfer rate aren't all that bad.

Yes, but remember it's only as good as "wireless", which is not the same speed as direct connect.

Highly unlikely. I doubt many (if any) have drivers for it, or the system infrastructure to support wireless unless it is built in. This is designed for computers.

I seem to remember there being an adjustment for syncing.. The thing worked very well for me hooking up a base model comcast cable box. At one point I had an out of sync problem, but rebooting this box fixed it.. Never had it happen since.

No specific sync software. Yes, just use drag and drop in Windows Explorer.

Googling this revealed some people do have workarounds to get it working. You might also be able to get a VM of XP (Windows XP mode) and sync that way. Either way, it sounds fairly like a complicated involved way to get a (sadly) obsolete piece of technology working.

Yeah....like the other responders, speed is a bit of an issue, but I found when it's backing up AND my local dropbox folder is syncing, everything slows as CPUs are eaten up. So as long as you're only syncing one drive at a time, you should be fine. I like the convenience of not having to be hooked into the machine. It works great connected to my gateway, and I have it secured quite easily.

If I have an exisiting Wireless Network, can this device connect to it wirelessly?

No, there are very few times that I even can tell it is wireless at all. Those times I have too much open and it may be the computer having problems more than latency issues. It works so well that I cannot tell when it first syncs to the computer.

No, the Sync properties do not connect for what I have attempted (please do some more research). Also, Microsoft Active Sync 4.5 does not install on Windows 8.1. Windows 7 works great with this device (Once connected the device can sync on all aspects even providing the iPaq internet over a bluetooth connection (range limits the distance).

Interesting concept, but I don't have a wireless PS/2. My opinion would be to use software such as MaxiVista and network the computers. USB has power restrainst, lag from, so good luck......ect

Yes, just and enter data... I am on my third one and it has quit syncing. Not going to get another one.. Works great other wise. Easy to set up

Probably not easily... I hesitate to say that anything is not doable these days, but the Plugable needs a fair bit of power and a software driver. If you want to share your hard drive over the local network, look into plugging your hard drive into your router. If you want a mobile solution, look for a wireless-enabled hard drive made for that purpose.
