Problems with downloading over WiFI

[MikeRead]

Hi,

I'm having issues downloading images over WiFi, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. When they do - they are extremely slow:

Does it work wired?

[MikeRead]

I'm using a Canon 90D , so haven't tried wired.  Will looks for a cable

[MikeRead]

I "think", its an issue of a weak WiFi signal. I have a mesh and the 90D doesnt appear to move to the strongest signal. I've now created a AP for outside use only and connected the Camera to that. I will try again later

[admin]

It is exactly for this reason that I do no officially support anything but wired connection.  The Canon SDK is very fragile and any loss of connection, even for a single millisecond, will cause the camera to disconnect.

Some have reported Wi-Fi to work well while some have abandoned it for a more robust wire connection.
