[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 364002, member: 12496"] I think calling the camera a WiFi access point is a pretty far reach. :) I don't have one, never seen one, and some hands on experience here sure would be helpful. I strongly doubt I comprehend much of it, but the camera is hardly an access point. The camera is a client. The camera REQUIRES use of a smartphone, which it could be said to be a specialized access point. . That smartphone ("smart device" in camera manual) REQUIRES use of the Nikon app. D750 manual says it can use open or protected WPS (the smartphone apps choice). Nikon D750 page 282 says for PIN-Entry WPS, the camera user enters the PIN of the smart device (the access point). Sounds the same as that any laptop can connect to any wireless router by entering the right PIN. So it does sound like anyone else with a smart phone, and with this Nikon app, and using the same PIN, could allow the camera to connect to them. But the protocol is one way, they cannot initiate connection to the camera. [/QUOTE]
