Camranger owners.... thoughts?

I invested in a CamRanger to use with my D700, the product works abit, slowly....over 5 years ago. I have done the firmware updates, etc kept it current.

Now I primary shoot with the D810 and I am looking for wireless AC or AD speeds and the CamRanger is wireless N at best... meaning it is useless, slow, etc, etc, etc.....

Are there any high speed wireless solutions for Nikon or Canon camera's? I know shooting tethered over USB 3.0, 3.1 or Thunderbolt will be allot faster..... But it is not wireless.

Even Nikon's own wireless solutions that are over priced don't tell you if they are wireless AC or AD.....

    I use the same combination and have not noticed any unacceptable slowness. try using less pixels or Raw small files , Its a lot faster than CCP2 with more options.

    I almost bought when BnH had it for 50% off. But I would like to wait for version 2 of it. I have used the TP-link and dslrDashboard and the transfer rate is very slow. So after my tests where done I put in the storage shelf. Camranger uses the same TP-Link hardware but it is re branded and their software is much better vs dslrDashboard.

    I may end up getting it for an event for a booth setup so the guests can email/text their images to themselves via an ipad with my watermark. This to me would be very useful.

    I have tested D750 wifi and it works great for 1 photo transfer but it is slow. I have tested the Df with the adapter and it was very problematic but about the same transfer rate as d750.

    I haven't found something faster but new models are starting to show up.

    Anybody tried this from tether tools, "Case Air Wireless Tethering System." Looks pretty good. $159.00 It's in stock direct from Tether Tools.

    Are you shooting RAW or jpg?
    If RAW only, that slows things down. I shoot RAW+jpg when using the Camranger and it displays the jpg files, which is a lot faster.
