Yes. 

 

Can MagniLink PRO use WiFi for wireless access to iPad/Android tablets?

No. At the moment we think that WiFi isn’t offering enough speed and reliability for high quality camera picture. Note that using WiFi for transferring camera picture will “lock” the WiFi to the camera = it will not be possible to use WiFi for Internet access to the device.
