I am looking for a card to mostly use on vacation to not bring my lap top. Can I only connect back at the hotel or when I choose versus instantly?

Yes, you can. You will need to install the eyefi app on your mobile device. When you want to transfer, turn on your camera, launch the app on device, (you may need to go to settings to connect to the eyefi network), once the device is connected on eyefi network it will starts the transfer. Note you will not be able to select which one to transfer, everything will be copied. It doesn't remove from the eyefi card so you can still transfer to laptop once you get back home.

The card and the device connect via wifi, so you have to be pretty close. I just downloaded mine at the end of each day to my iPad mini.

Yes , just when you come back to your hotel, connect to the wireless on your mobile and open the application on your mobile , all photo picked earlier will be sent on you mobile , it will synchronize .

your pictures will upload instantly to any WiFi enabled device you have activated. So you don't have to wait til you get back to the hotel to upload them. That is if you upload over the cellular network :-)

Yes, you can, depending on the model of your camera. With my cam, I can disable the transmission on the options menu. Check http://support.eye.fi/cameras to see if your camera supports this.

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

No, you have to purchase the simple card separately from the provider you want

The controller software is only if you want a captive portal for the guest network ... Hotels do this so you have to agree to terms and conditions of there wireless use. You do not need a computer if you don't want to use this option

I haven't had any problems. Though last week when I was at a resort, I was told that having my room cards near my Iphone was deactivating my room cards. I've never had my Iphone deactivate a hotel room key before, so maybe it was the magnet in the wallet. However, it hasn't seemed to harm my credit/debit cards that I keep in it at all times.

Not sure. I'm new with it but I think you can set it to do that and just need a fast as card hope this helps

You shouldn't....I haven't found the need to purchase. But I'd check in advance. Depends on where you'll be staying.

The simple answer is no. ExpressCard is, or was the next evolution from the PCMCIA card slot and they are not backwards compatible. Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard

You can do either. I only plug it in to read codes although I do leave it plugged in during vacation trips. It depends on how often you plan to read the info on the app.

Actually, not sure why one would use it in the US. Those of us who travel outside of US, however, do need them. In Asia, they say you have wi-fi in your room... only you don't. Ever. In Europe, it says the hotel has wi-fi... but when you get there it's only in the lobby. I paid international roaming in the Narata airport at the free wi-si hotspot under the sign designating that workstation as the free wi-fi hotspot. Outside the US, what they say they have and what they have usually contradict each other. Which is why I'm getting so frustrated with Americans asking if it works here. I want to know if it's going to work around the globe! Actually, not sure why one would use it in the US. Those of us who travel outside of US, however, do need them.

I wouldn't unplug it, as you run the risk of forgetting to plug it back in.As you start using it, you can start defining locations as Business or Non Business ("private").Then the systems starts automatically defining trips as Business or Personal based upon your Start/Stop points.Also, if you travel from Client One, stop at the grocery store (for example), then continue on to Client Two, you can combine the two trips so that it only appears as Client One->Client Two.(You will need to manually adjust any extra miles you drove to get to the personal stop)

Yes, it works great. Big capacity is really helpful so I do not have to change cards. I can go on vacation, take lots of pictures, and never need another card. I have been using it for several months without any problem.

Yes Mark that will work unless your computer is a slim computer, then you will need to pick a card with a low profile.

Sorry, I marked "yes", but actually I don't think it does have a place for a "card". The guide says it takes a modem in the USB port OR "connect a Cable, DSL, or Satellite modem to the Blue WAN Ethernet port".

I just got back from a trip where I used the D-Link router occasionally. I did have some difficulty with using various hotel portals on my cell phone, both with and without the D-Link router. But I was able to get the D-Link to work. In one case, I first used the Hotel WiFi without the D-Link. Then when I connected my cell to the D-Link and selected either the hotel WiFi or the Hotel Ethernet as the internet connection for the D-Link, it worked. (The D-Link provided a better connection in this case than using my cell phone directly.) It might have been possible to connect the D-Link to the hotel portal FIRST and then launch a web browser on the phone (connected to the D-Link) to enter the room number, etc., but I did not try that (at least I do not remember it that way). The advantage to using the D-Link is minimal, unless the hotel (a) only provides Ethernet, (b) has weak WiFi, or (c) allows only one device and you want to use more.

This one (Mobi) can only be used with iPad, iPhone or android. The connect x2 card can be used with your laptop or desk computer.

You bypass the router and connect directly to the card. Any extra software is available for free from Toshiba, itunes, or google play. In the setup you can select to continue with an internet connection simultaneously.
