Canon R5 & R3 Mirrorless & qDDB

Post by rameshtahlan »

Guys I have got rid of all my DSLR, and now have the Canon R5 and R3.
BUT
I was using the iPad Mini2 with TP-LINK 3040 for past 10 years, and it continued to work on all my DSLR till this year.
However, I could not get this combination working with the Mirrorless cameras R5 and R3.
The Holi Grail just would not work.

So last night I ordered this - Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 26.69 cm (10.5 inch) Display, RAM 3 GB, ROM 32 GB Expandable, Wi-Fi Tablet, Gray, (SM-X200NZAAINU) hope with the same TP-LINK 3040 I am able to operate on wifi.
I even tried the built in WiFi on R5, directly with the iPad, with no luck.

As I was waiting for the Samsung Tab A8 to arrive, I tried the wifi hookup with Apple Laptop with M1 processor.
Again no luck on the WiFi system,
So I used the USB hard wire and qDDB worked perfect with Laptop M1 processor, and R5 mirrorless.

Does anyone have a similar combination as I have with Canon Mirrorless Cameras.
1. So the question becomes, is the iPad Mini2 of a very old generation, and so qDDB wont work with current generation Mirrorless Cameras
2. Why does the WiFi not work with Laptop having M1 processor.

The Samsung Tab A8 should arrive by tonight, will hook up with TP-LINK 3040, and put up the results.
BUT one more question-
Is there another portable router with much greater WiFi range, that will work just as simply as the TP-LINK 3040,

Any suggestion would be most welcome.

UPDATE
Got the Samsung A8 Tablet.

Set up the wifi with 3040, R5 power up. I thought it should have worked outright.

qDDB does not work.

So is there something I have to select for the Route options in the Tablet ?
these are the settings, I have not changed anything.

Without the router, if I use the USB C hook up between the laptop and R5,
qDDB works perfect.

I would have thought any Android Tablet would work.

Problem solved.

Apparently, with the iPad Mini2 and Canon 5D Mk3 I used to click the icon marked at 1

Now with Samsung Tab A8 and R5, I have to click on icon marked at 2, and this happened by accident.
But qDDB works perfect.

So I am back on track with Samsung A8 Tab, R5 and the 3040 router.

Cheers.
