[QUOTE="Jon W, post: 608743, member: 43344"] I found the solution, however it is far away in the time and space of Nikon programmers. This is what I found out, they are working on an upgrade for the camera to improve wireless with Android (7 I assume) and this will fix the problem. Of course nobody knows if this is going to break next time Android is updated. I tried nickT's suggestion of looking on my computer WIFI list to see if the camera showed up, it did not. So I concluded the camera was a lemon and called Nikon where I was transferred to tech support. I was not happy with the conversation and the tech guy was kind of dense. He really could not offer me a solution beyond that he "believes that an upgrade to the camera software for Android connectivity was coming soon" and that they had already released an upgrade for IOS. I was not a satisfied customer! I sort of hung up on them after we started going in circles and he wanted to try to take me through the pairing just one more time. I was going to return the camera. Then I decided to pull out my IPad since he had mentioned that the upgrade was already done for IOS. It worked on the IPad, not great mind you but I could see that the camera was not a lemon. Not that I want to use the IPad, I only bought the IPad for the Phantom Drone I have. The only anticipated use I had in mind for wireless was being able to use my phone as a remote for the camera, when that little motion of pushing the shutter button can screw up your pic. Unfortunately the D5600 does not include infrared sensors like previous D5xx models. I would of been perfectly happy picking up a simple shutter remote, but you can't buy one that works with the D5600. I did not buy the Nikon for the wireless, and I really did not want to return it and go with something else. While I am not happy about the wireless thing, I am glad I was able to discover if the camera was a lemon or not. hopefully in the future the wireless on the Nikon D5600 will work with the most popular phone and OS in the world.
