So I tried the new wireless tethering...

...and it's slow.

Test setup

Wireless access point: Ubiquiti Unifi AP Pro, gigabit ethernet backbone

Computer: MacBook Pro Retina 15" (Early 2013), gigabit ethernet with official Apple adapter

Software: Fujifilm X-Aquire

Camera: X-T2, Uncompressed RAW, no JPEG.

Results

First transfer took 67 seconds, which gives a transfer rate of ~0,75 MB/s (~6 Mbit/s). This was about 3,5 meter from the access point with a wall in between.

 

Second transfer took 30 seconds, 1 meter from the access point, which gives a transfer rate of ~1,64 MB/s (~13,2 Mbit/s) nothing but air in between.

 

The wireless features of the X-T2 seems to be quite weak. Signal reported from the access point for the camera was -66dBm in the first scenario, and -48dBm in the second. Quite a huge drop. In comparison my Nexus 5X phone has a signal of -57 dBm in the same place as the first scenario.

 

Negotiated transfer rates reported by the access point were 52 M TX, 65 M RX for the first scenario, and 75 M TX, 65 M RX for the second.

 

Transferring a fine 15 MB JPEG would take ~20 seconds in the first scenario, and ~9 in the second.

 

I'll stick with USB 3

I have yet to try this but I don't think that it is intended to use a wireless access point. The camera is intended to work as stand alone.
