Maximize Your Eye-Fi Range for Event Shooting

41PXN0HFYWL._SS500_.jpg

Itching to use your new Eye-Fi Wireless SD card to shoot an event, but want to make sure photos can get downloaded no matter where you are as you’re wandering around?

We’ve got the solution.

First, make sure you’ve read these instructions for setting up Eye-Fi to work without Internet.

To maximize the range in this setup, you’ll want to pick up the D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router. For about $50, you get a full-featured portable wireless router that can be powered over USB.

Add this pocket-size rechargeable battery pack with included USB cable, and you’ve got a battery-powered wifi router that you can easily carry on your person as you shoot. (The battery will power the router for about 4 hours.)

Now, just set up your new portable router just as described in these instructions and head to the shoot. Only, instead of putting your router in a central location, keep your little D-Link on you as you shoot. Because the Eye-Fi’s antennas is smaller than your laptop’s, this will ensure that it’ll stay in range of your router (just a few feet away) and so will your laptop.

Photo downloading bliss!

(Thanks to Ziv Gillat, Eye-Fi Founder, for the tip!)
