qdslrdashboard V 0.3.4.1 on IOS 10.11.3 connects via USB but not via DDserverAP TP-Link

[MiGuCa]

Dear Community, dear Zoltan,
qdslrdashboard V 0.3.4.1 on IOS 10.11.3 on my MacBookPro connects via USB successfully
but not via DDserverAP TP-Link.
I installed the app several times but the result always is the same:
when connecting the CANON 5Ds via USB-cable the app works fine.

When I link the camera via TP-Link and DDserverAP (the connection is confirmed) the app does not connect to the camera.
By the way: when I do the same on my iPad / iPhone the wifi-connection via TP-Link and DDserverAP works without hustle.

Any idea what may be the reason ?
Thanks a lot.

I went here:

Regarding TP-Link can you access the OpenWrt web interface at http://192.168.1.1 from a web browser?

A dialogue opens and asks me to set a password.
Is this mandatory and essential for the functionality of DDserverAP in this case ?

[hubaiz]

No it is not.

Is your MacBook also connected with wired network connection?

[MiGuCa]

No, if you mean "LAN-cable".
As soon as I try to link it with the camera it is only connected wireless to the TP-Link / DDServerAP.
And with nothing else.

After connecting the wireless with the MR3040 wireless open a web browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1
It should open the OpenWrt administration page. Did it open?
Connect your DSLR with USB cable to the MR3040 full size USB port and turn it on.
In the administration page navigate to 'Status->System log' and scroll to the end.
You should have something like this:

There is nothing about CANON.

- Does it make any sense to contact the distributor of the TP-LINK MR3040 who made the firmware-Modifikation for qDslrDashboard ?

- Does it make sense to update the firmware ?

- Does it make sense to install the firmware newly ?

- How to check which firmware-version is implemeted currently ?

Does changing of the ip of the TP-LINK help ?
I found this in the forum :

Hi @ all,
I also had problems, to get my EOS 700D connected via TP-Link to QDSLR-Dashboard.

Here is, what I found.

It seems to be relevant to start the equipment in the right order.

What I do:

1. start the TP-Link, wait until 2 LED are on (about 35 sec.).
2. connect your tablett via WLAN - 2nd LED now is blinking)
3. start the app (about 15 sec.)
4. power up your cam
5. wait until 3 LEDs are on - this may take a while.
6. push the "net-connect buttom of the app.

Now you should be connected and be able to use QDSLR-Dashboard via TP-Link.

If the 3. LED does't light up during 2 minutes, shut down the cam, wait a moment and power up again.

Sometimes, it might be necessary to restart the whole system / process

This is not, what I would call a performat system, but unfortunately, I don't know a better one

If your PC/MAC is only connected with the wireless network then changing the IP will not help.
Your camera is not recognised by the MR3040.
Do you use the USB cable that you get with your camera?
Do you connect the camera to the full size USB port of the MR3040?
Only use an USB cable (if you can try another), not need for an USB OTG adapter.

Did you flashed the firmware from here: http://dslrdashboard.info/downloads/
You can try and do a sysupgrade as described here: http://dslrdashboard.info/tp-link-mr304 ... e-upgrade/
