D800. Eye-Fi card doesn't work at all...

Just got a new Nikon D800 and tried my Connect x2 4gb Eye-Fi card in it (running 5.0008) and it just isn't working.

I've tried both connecting to a wifi and direct mode to ipad3 and iphone4. Neither will connect. In direct mode, it's wifi hotspot name won't appear on the iPad, iPhone, or wifi enabled computer. It will momentarily if I shoot continuously, but goes away after a few seconds.

I have the Eye-Fi mode turned on in the camera. I can take the card out and put it in my wife's Nikon D5100 or my GoPro and it works like a charm. I've tried all image modes (raw+jpeg, and jpeg only).

I can see the Eye-Fi/antenna logo on the info screen, so it is recognizing that it has a Eye-Fi card inserted. I am also well within range of the wif router and iPad/iPhone (less than 1-2').

For those of you that have got it to work, do you have any tips or tricks?
