[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 364022, member: 12496"] The Nikon manual might be better. Having a D750 for hands on experience would be much better. I wasn't even an expert on this until today. :) But the manual certainly does Not mention being a WiFi access point. Look at your page 282 again. Using the menu PushButton WPS, it says wait two minutes. This is unprotected open WPS (which the smartphone app could specify). Yes, same as on a laptop, an Open WPS host is not protected from any client connections. But the host does not connect to the client, connection only goes the other way. Host only broadcasts SSID, for the client to see and request connect (speaking in general, I have no clue what specifics this Nikon app might do. I see no reason to suspect more however). Using the next menu down, PIN-Entry WPS, is page 285. Enter PIN is step 3 on next page. It would be required if so specified by the host (the smartphone Nikon app). So, you are both, and it can be your choice. Just like a laptop. :) There is no issue here. [/QUOTE]
