Greetings..

I've looked around the forum and feel this was the best place to post this. Apologies if it's not. Anyway....

I've currently purchased the M5, works great other than the bugs in 2.50.. :( My question however, is what do folks use for WiFi cards??

I didn't think i would need it, but of course now, I WANT it :)

I was looking at the SanDisk card, but heard that just a few days ago they were discontinued. There were a couple other brands, but off name brands, that I, at least, have never heard of. Any opinions on a good SD Wi-Fi card??

Also, in my searches I haven't found a single "G" card, all have been "B". Do "G's" even exist??

Thanks

Bryan

A reminder to all, by default the forum is set to display only the last 30 days of posts. You can change that setting on the last line of the posts, just above the page mark. You can also set the date parameter in search.

I would love to have an SD card that was both WI-FI and a memory card. Does anyone know of a product like this?

There is combo wifi/memory card. Sandisk has one, but they may already discontinued it. The combo type card has lots of issues. You may want to do a search here, there are a few threads of users having problems with them. Generally people have difficulty getting memory and wifi function working at the same time. You are much better off with regular wifi card. Here's a sample thread about combo card problems;
