Hi, is it possible to connect the 5DMII to Ipad air via OTG?

If not, which would be the best approach to do it via wifi with this combo 5DMII + Ipad air?

Many thanks!

iPhones and iPads don't have USB port so you cannot connect with it. Only and you have only one approach - WiFi mobile router with USB port and OpenWRT.

The easiest way is to use TP-Link MR3040 or Hame MPR-A2 for which Zoltan made OpenWRT firmware with ddserver.

OK. Great Many thanks, Gonzo. Just placed the order for the TP-Link. So when I receive it I get OpenWRT and deserver into it. right?

Cheers!

With MR3040 you just flash fw made by which has ddserver in it. Whole manual how to do is on qDD page:

Hi, I got the TP-link. Version 2.4 (label in box), I already downloaded the version 2 file. Following instructions, but when I try: http://192.168.0.1 on a tab on my browser it just tries to connect or something but nothing happens, after a while I get "webpage not available". Tried with different browsers and nothing. Its connected via ethernet and the ethernet light in the TP-link is on.

Anyone know what could it be? Many thanks!
