5G WiFi Adapter for Axiocam 208 Color

Post by Perry Bain »

We had 6 Zeiss Axiocam 208 Color cameras in a digital classroom setup that was working well for us. These came with a 5G Wi-Fi adapter (Comfast CF-913AC V2). We purchased 2 additional cameras, and these units came with a different adapter (426570-9100-000 CF-913ACZ). The new adapters seem to be incompatible with 5G (and the cameras cannot "see" the 5G network we had set up for our digital classroom when these are used). Our Zeiss rep then replaced all of our 5G adapters with the 426570-9100-000 CF-913ACZ adapters (so that they would all match), telling us this was all that is available. We have found the performance to be poor with the new adapters (in a 2G WLAN), and the signal is often lost, even when using only 5 microscopes.

Can anyone tell me if there is a different adapter I can purchase (from Zeiss or elsewhere) that will connect these cameras to a 5G network?

Thanks,

Hi Perry Bain,

Yes, those connected fine with 5G, but none of the new adapters can see that WLAN.

Unfortunately due to International restrictions Zeiss cannot offer the original 5/2.4 GHz adapter now (we can only sell a 2.4 Ghz Wifi Adapter now).

I know several people that have purchased the "known working" model from Comfast directly.

It has been working fine for their solutions.
I hope this helps a little and we are sorry for this unfortunate situation.
Cautionary note- if the adapter parts and chipsets inside change in the future it is possible these related models will not work anymore with our camera and/or Labscope etc. and we cannot test each iteration. But at least there is an option right now.
