WIFI of FC40 Camera not working

(One post said there is a reset next to the Wifi symbol, but don't stick something in the little hole - it is the mic

I had thought that was a reset button hole tho it turns out its not and its a hole to no ware no mic any were inside the camrea and I even thought it was to maybe allow the wifi signal to get threw the alumumitized paint on the edge of the bezel but not nearly big enough for a 2.4Ghz band to fit threw. Being that hole is even smaller then the holes in the front of the metal screen on a microwave door. That are big enough to let light threw but much smaller then the space a microwave can fit threw and MW overs are 2.5 ghz. and you need a hole almost 1/2 inch wide for microwaves to escape the shielding. So the only thing I can think of is maybe it was designed originally to have reset there and they changed there minds. Same as they did with the mic idea and the 4 holes tot he left of the lens Which is were the mic would go if they had decided to put a mic in as they originally did say they were going to and has been mentioned that there original specs called for sound. Even tho I cant imagine why being the only sound it would or been able to pick up is the prop noise and wind if its flying.

Probably not your problem, but the wifi on mine wouldn't work with my 64 Gb memory card. Put a 2 Gb one and it worked.

But my iPhone doesn't see it - my Kindle does. And my wifi repeater does, too.

I have a 64gb Samsung class 10 and everything works as it should except it won't record with the button on the camera, but that's another issue, wouldn't work with a 1gb card either. I saw up a few posts that there is a mic in the camera, mine doesn't record audio, should it?

I just got my FC40 2 days ago. When I tried to find the FC40 on my android phone it didn't show up. The house wifi was stronger. Now I have to delete my house wifi on my phone to connect to the FC40 around the house. When I am away I have no problem with the connection. My nook has a selection of wifi to choose from including the FC40. My SD card is a 16gb class 10 and i have had no problem with it. The camera works great for what it is.
 
On my Iphone I have to go to settings/wifi and select the FC40 every time I connect or else it defaults to my home WIFI if I am around the house. Try it!

I discoverd wifi problems with the fc40 relate to the mSD-card you use. With samsung mSD-cards, I don't have wifi problems anymore.
