Janet Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Has anyone used a Wi-Fi adapter on Nikon D3200? Does it work, is it worth the money? Any help most appreciated Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have the WU-1b for my Nikon D610. As reviewers warned it doesn't work very well. When I'm at home my iPhone prefers my home network to the one the adapter uses. It seems to prefer files that are less than 5mb and often disconnects. Also I haven't yet found a way to prevent it from disconnecting after the first photo has transferred.Maybe I missed something in the settings? I haven't yet tried it in the field. Perhaps once I'm away from my home network, in a place with fewer wi-fi networks, it would work better. fD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think I have to use the WU-1a for mine but thanks for the info Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoDogue Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 52 minutes ago, GS-Images said: I haven't tried the adapter, but for transferring images in the field I use an OTG cable, which you can connect to a USB socket on compatible phones and tablets for transferring photos, if that's of any help to you? Geoff. I'm sure a wired connection is preferable. I have the camera kit for my original iPad and it transfers photos quickly without a hitch. I probably should've spend my money on this Lightning to USB Adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thank you both I'll give anything a go but any one who's tried the adapter I would love your advice Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We gave a granddaughter a D3200 a couple of Christmases ago, in a package that included another lens, the wifi adapter, and other stuff. She likes using it to transfer to her iphone, but I don't know beyond that. You didn't say exactly what you wanted to use it for, but if you're talking about transferring images from camera to computer, nothing beats sticking the SD card into an inexpensive card reader that's plugged into the computer's USB port.

Janet Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thanks Bill I didn't think of that. Might go that way if no joy with adapter Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 And if you have a USB 3 port, make sure you get a USB 3 card reader. Much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jansos Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Eyefi Mobi Pro 32GB WiFi SDHC CARD: I've been looking at this as a possible solution. Looks useful but no idea if it does what it says on the tin. Anyone using it, or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
