WB850F AllShare Issue

I have recently tried to connect my wb850f to my Samsung TV using the built in TV Link/AllShare function but it wont connect to my access point (home network). It has no problem connecting to my galaxy note when using the remote viewfinder or direct link function or when using the phones thethering function (mobile AP). So the problem seem to be the TV Link/AllShare fuction. Could anyone else get this to work? I am using the latest firmware.

Re: WB850F AllShare Issue

Ok so I solved my own problem. Seems the wb850f did not like my AP's frequency. It was on 20Mhz so changed it to dual mode 20/40Mhz and eurika it worked (also had to use manual ip settings). Getting my TV, Camera, Phone and Laptop all speaking to eachother via AllShare was a real pain in the ass!

Anyway back to the point, TV Link on my camera is now working although the 16mp images (not to speak of full HD video) are loading extremely sluggish making it kind of impractical unless you have a really fast 802.11n network with a high-end AP/Router. Still pretty cool having all your Samsung devices connected wirelessly though!
