I'm asking here in this forum because the official Eye-Fi Support Staff no longer supports these older WiFi cards. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

you need to be careful the mobi desktop app will not recognise or work with your x2 card.
this is the download link to the app you need for your x2 card
https://x2help.eyefi.com/hc/en-us/articles/200398426-Download-Eyefi-Center-for-Mac-OS-X-or-Windows
did the card work before you formatted it to exfat one thing you could try would be to format the card using the sd formatter in your mac or pc
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
formatting the card will not have erased its settings but the card will not make any attempts to send anything if it cant recognise the file system or there are no new images on the card in a DCF compliant filesystem

My issue now is assigning a Network connection between the EyeFi card and my Google OnHub router. The router reports the EyeFi is making a connection, but the EyeFi Center software won't finish the network configuration (I get a "DHCP TIMEOUT error). I'll keep trying. It might be something with my new OnHub router.
Thanks again for your help!

i was going to see if i could get an eyefi support guy to look at this.
it looks like the router is refusing the connection the signal strength is good at rssi 62. dont worry about the 2.4ghz and 5ghz so long as you have it set to use both it will work as it
looks like it is trying to do.

My new Google OnHub (TP-Link) router only supports devices with WPA2+AES encryption, and it does not support WPA or WEP (older protocols). From this web page I see that the EyeFi card supports WPA2-PSK which isn't on the OnHub's supported list of encryption protocols.
Also, the OnHub router has two frequencies (2.4 and 5 GHz) which it uses together to optimize performance of connected devices. Supposedly, a 2.4 GHz-only device can connect to the OnHub router with no issues. However, Google has stated that one device called "SkyBell" only uses 2.4 GHz and cannot connect to routers which have the dual-band routers implemented like OnHub does.
So, I suspect my connection issue is either due to the WPA2-PSK encryption of the EyeFi card or because the card can't connect to a dual frequency router as with the OnHub. Unfortunately, I can't deactivate the 5 GHz frequency on this router.

he suggested trying your old router now you could just hook it up to your pc as a temporary fix and try the eyefi card without internet access but for a long term solution you could disable the DHCP server in you old router sets its ip address so its in the range of the new router but not clashing with other devices and on the same subnet then hook it up to the google onhub router it should then act as an additional access point and allow pass though to you onhub router. if you tell me the make and model of the old router i may be able to find a walk through for this.
