The frame works just fine without a Wi-Fi connection!
The Wi-Fi connection is only required to transfer new photos using the app “SSA WiFi Frame“, as well as to update the software. Apart from that, everything works the same whether the frame is online or offline.
We get a lot of positive feedback from users who set up a frame at their home, load it with photos, and then gift it to someone without a Wi-Fi connection. Then, whenever they visit the household without Wi-Fi, they can connect the frame to a smartphone hotspot and simply transfer photos while the frame has an internet connection.
Does the frame come with a USB port?
