Should this server be connected with wifi? Or only iphone needs wifi?

No wifi needed. From your settings you select the wifi with the name sony assigned and connect your phone/computer/tablet to that wifi and it will connect the two devices. Might take a couple tries sometimes but once you get it, the rest should be easy

This device creates its own wifi network. Your phone will need to connect to this network in order to transfer photos.

There are several mode of configuration. The device can setup its own wifi network so you can access the memory card anywhere, or you can set it up the device to connect to an existing wifi network to be available for all devices on that SSID network.

The device emits its own wifi signal so there is no need for a server...turn it on, find the wifi signal on your iPhone and connect....open the app (free) and transfer the files.

The machine runs fine without WIFI/Ifit.....those are purely add-on benefits.w

The app that you use on your iPhone does not care whether you connect via WI-FI or cell service. The real question should be whether you are connecting locally or remotely. If you are walking around your house, your iPhone should be finding your router via WI-FI and connecting to the camera using it's local IP address. If you are away from home, your iPhone needs either a WI-FI hot spot or a cell connection. In this case, connection to the camera requires that the camera, router, and the iPhone be configured for port forwarding and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). Port forwarding allows the iPhone to burrow through your router's firewall and communicate with the camera. The DDNS allows the iPhone to find your router's IP address in the vast universe of addresses that comprise the internet. Why is DDNS necessary? Your service provider can change your router's address without warning. If all this sounds baffling, you should purchase the camera through Foscam.us or Amazon directly (not a third party retailer) and avail yourself of Foscam's free setup service. Also understand that you would need to deal with these issues with any IP addressable camera, not just Foscam.

Yes, it will give you WiFi access. Your limiting factor for speed will be your internet connection, not this device. Just make sure you turn WiFi on in the iPad and phone settings and connect to the WiFi network you set up when you configure this device (it comes with a decent setup disk).

the device needs to be connected to a PC/MAC only the first set up. the device will be on WIFI thereafter.

My configuration relies on the local wifi and I have not opened a port for it to control from the internet. I can switch the plug on and off using my iPhone as long as my iPhone is on the same wifi as the Insteaon controller. I hope that makes sense; remember that Insteaon requires a controller so the iPhone cans send on/off etc signals to an insteaon device.

Yes, you can use it as an iTunes server. This NAS is AMAZING!!! You can use it as an FTP server, ssh, file server, dlna ready, twonky server for movie streaming, share pics, mp3 streaming, remote file access and a Lot more. I can't complaint. Can be accessed from my iPhone. I get notifications and can even turn off the unit from my iPhone

If you need to use it as single user and mobile device not attached ti Iphone I would suggest EM Wave2. If you will have multiple users and no need to have a mobile device: EM wave pro

Alan, short answer is yes. The ASUS will connect to the iPhone via the Wi-Fi; and by configuring the ASUS in AP mode, you can connect multiple devices to the ASUS router. All devices -> ASUS -> iPhone hotspot -> InternetBut some operators charge monthly to enable Wi-Fi hotspot on the iPhone. That will be the pre-requisite.Also, I am curious as to your use case. If you have iPhone Wi-Fi hotspot subsctiption, why not connect all devices directly to the iPhone?

Alright, thank you. The reason I was wondering is because on Apple's Mac video, it said "to connect to a wireless network, you will need the Apple Airport router." Anyways, Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi Jim, It all depends on how your wifi router is set up. You may have to turn on port forwarding if you want to see the camera view from outside your local network via the iPhone app. I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the camera at first, but I think that was because I had mac address filtering turned on on my wifi. Make sure you turn off mac address filtering. Once you find the camera on your wifi network you will have to configure the emaill setting if you would like it to email you a picture when it detects motion. You can see things live through the camera, but it doesn't really record video it just takes some images that it can email to you or upload to a server via ftp. If you are looking for a video recording camera, this probably isn't the product for you. Fell free to hit me back with any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. -Jack

i've never tried using wifi to connect to my computer but i don't see why not. I connected no problem to my iPhone via wifi

yes it can alert your phone via email if you want text or wifi access you must have dedicated server. as long as you have it hooked to internet

It depends on your receiver and what protocols it supports. This device only supplies WiFi Networking to the receiver, it doesn't add functionality to the receiver. If your receiver supports AirPlay or DLNA, then yes. DLNA is not supported natively in iOS, there are servers you can run on your iPhone. If your receiver supports AirPlay, then it should be easy. Although, you may need to re-configure your router in either case to allow connections over those protocols.

Definitely. The hardest part is setting up the port forwarding.You can connect through either a web browser (slow), or using the recently released iPhone app (very fast).

Yes it is perfect for this. but 1 out of 15 times it doesn't automatically connect so I have to go into my settings and connect. Not sure if it is an iPhone issue or an issue with the product.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.
