Using a Toshiba FlashAir W-02 Wi-Fi SD card after support ended

· by shaun

Toshiba/KIOXIA dropped the FlashAir W-02 setup software in January 2020, but the card still works. Join its Wi-Fi network and browse to 192.168.0.1 to see and download the card's files.

Tested onToshiba FlashAir W-02 (Class 10)

Symptoms #

KIOXIA (formerly Toshiba Memory) ended support and removed setup software for the FlashAir™ W-02 and Class 6 cards:

technical support for and some software for wireless SD card FlashAir™ W-02 Class10 and FlashAir™ Class6 … will no longer be available after 31 January 2020.

So there is no official way to configure or use the card.

Fix #

The card's built-in web server still works without the app:

  1. Insert the card in a camera (or reader) and power it so the card starts its access point.
  2. Join the card's Wi-Fi network from a phone or laptop.
  3. The network properties show the DNS server / gateway as 192.168.0.1. Open http://192.168.0.1/ in a browser.

You get a file listing of the card and can download files. There is no drag-and-drop upload, but for pulling photos off a camera it is enough.
