Please note that WiFi-networking can sometimes be tricky, there are some hidden options that can prevent normal networking. Should you have any difficulties, please consult our Troubleshooting guide or contact our customer support service.

Preparation steps (must be performed the first time only, no need to do it every time) Step 1. Make sure you have your own local WiFi network ready.   creating your own WiFi network Step 2. Connect your computer to your WiFi network.   if your network is hosted by your computer (i.e. it is an ad hoc or computer-to-computer network, then skip this step connecting your computer to WiFi network created by your WiFi router Step 3.

Turn the Wi-Fi switch on, if it's off. Find your network (to which your computer is connected, or which is hosted by your computer) in the list, select it, and enter the password for this network, if needed. It is very important to ensure that you're entering the password correctly, because sometimes, if the password is incorrect, it may look like you're connected to a network, but no actual file transfer will happen. The checkmark should appear against your network name:         Wait for the WiFi antenna logo to appear at the top of the screen. It may take some time, during which your device registers within the network, so just wait for antenna to appear.

Actual Transfer (must be performed every time) Step 4. Start GoodReader app on your iPhone / iPod touch / iPad.   Step 5. Open GoodReader's WiFi-transfer page, keep it open all the time while transferring, note the IP-address on this page (you gonna need it in Step 6).   show details... hide details   For security reasons and to save your battery power transfer is allowed only when you're on the WiFi-transfer page. You can open this page with this button on the main screen of GoodReader:           This button brings up the WiFi-transfer page:         The important things here are: antenna logo at the top, it should indicate a strong WiFi signal (if you don't see this logo, then you're not connected to WiFi network - go back to Steps 1 and 3) WiFi status: ON (if it's OFF, then you're not connected to WiFi network - go back to Steps 1 and 3) IP-address (if you don't see it, then you're not connected to WiFi network - go back to Steps 1 and 3) Don't be confused by the "Connection: not established" line. It's perfectly normal. It doesn't mean that there's any WiFi network problem, it simply means that nobody tried to access GoodReader yet. Once you initiate a file transfer from your computer, this line will immediately change to "Connection: established". This line is mainly for troubleshooting purposes - if you're experiencing problems with WiFi transfer, this line will be a good indication where to look for a problem.   Note the IP-address, you will use it to initiate a connection from your computer.   IMPORTANT: IP-addresses change from time to time, even if nothing else changes in your setup. So please don't assume that the IP-address is the same as it was during your last transfer session, check this address every time when connecting. Step 6. Choose the transfer method and do the actual transfer.   show details... hide details   "Easy" transfer (just a couple of files to transfer) "Professional" transfer (many files and folders to transfer) transfer using web browsers (any operating system) Transfer by connecting your iPhone/iPod to your computer as a network folder: Windows Vista / Windows 7 Windows XP Mac OS X Linux   Step 7.
