Instrucións de funcionamento

1. Media Streaming and File Sharing (Wi-Fi Storage)

The WIFISD2 allows you to wirelessly stream media and share files stored on an inserted SD card or USB drive to multiple connected devices simultaneously.

• Abre o "Wi-Fi Disk" app on your connected smartphone or tablet.
• The app provides categories like Videos, Photos, and Music. While you can organize files into these folders on your computer, the app may not always automatically recognize them within these specific categories.
• For reliable access to all files, navigate to the "File/Folder" section within the app. From there, you can browse the contents of your SD card or USB drive directly.
• Seleccione a file a view or stream. The device supports streaming to multiple devices, though performance may vary depending on the file type and number of concurrent streams.

2. Travel Router Functionality

The WIFISD2 can act as a travel router, providing internet access to your devices in various scenarios.

• Wi-Fi Pass-Through: Connect the WIFISD2 to an existing Wi-Fi network (e.g., hotel Wi-Fi) via the app's settings. Your devices connected to the WIFISD2 will then share this internet connection.
• Wired Access (Wi-Fi Hotspot): If you have access to a wired Ethernet connection (e.g., in a hotel room), plug the Ethernet cable into the WIFISD2's Ethernet port. The device will then convert this wired connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing your wireless devices to access the internet.

The built-in 2600mAh battery can be used to charge your smartphones or other USB-powered devices in emergencies.

• Connect your device's charging cable to the WIFISD2's Saída Porto USB.
• A carga comezará automaticamente.
• Nota: Using the WIFISD2 as an external battery will drain its internal power, potentially reducing its operating time for other functions.

4. File Copia de seguranza

The device supports one-touch backup of photos and videos from your mobile devices to an attached USB flash drive, hard drive, or SD card. It also offers integration with Dropbox for cloud storage.

Mantemento

Use a paperclip or similar thin object to press and hold the button for a few seconds to perform a factory reset. This will revert all settings to their default values.

Resolución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your Macally WIFISD2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• O dispositivo non se acende:
  • Asegúrate de que o dispositivo estea completamente cargado. Conéctao a unha fonte de alimentación e déixao cargar durante polo menos 30 minutos antes de tentar acendelo de novo.

• Streaming performance is poor or videos are choppy:
  • Reduce the number of devices streaming simultaneously.
  • Ensure your device is close to the WIFISD2 for optimal Wi-Fi signal strength.
  • The quality of streaming can depend on the video file format and resolution. Try lower resolution files if issues persist.
• No internet access when using travel router function:
  • If using Wi-Fi pass-through, ensure the WIFISD2 is successfully connected to the external Wi-Fi network.
