How these SD cards work with WiFi

We have to use to connect to your PC before entering configure the SSID (name) and password for networks that want to connect. Once this is done, only we need the camera is turned on and the card will connect to our WiFi network . From the computer we will have access to it and we can transfer the pictures we have done without cable.
