WU-1a Problème Connection With Windows 7

[Stas Yatsenko]

Did you add the camera to Helicon Remote as shown here (paragraph 3): http://www.heliconsoft.com/HeliconRemot ... ml#Canon6D ?

Sorry but:
I confirm that the HR v3.4.12.w application with WU-1a or (1b) Windows 7 (64bit) does not work.
I perform the test with Nikon D90, D7100, D750 native WiFi)
More than 10 computers (or laptop) with Windows 7.
The result is always the same:
The WU-1a is well recognized by the WiFi adapter.
HR tries to connect with the camera, (On the WU-1a LED turns solid green), but the Nikon is not recognized.
I confirm that with Windows 8 or (8.1) there is no problem, everything works fine.
You can perform a test?
Best Regards

Thanks for the information.
We don't have a D750, so we can't test or fix it yet.

I have trouble connecting my D600 WU-1b with HR. HR 3.3.1 worked fine but the latest version 3.4.14 only connected ones. Since then it tries to connect but can not establish a connection and does not give any error message.

Weird, nothing has changed between these version that affects Wi-Fi functionality. Reproduce the problem and send a bug report.
Have you tried resetting the camera body wireless settings and reconnecting anew?

I have to update that it sometimes works and sometimes not. It is very unstable and I do not know why. Other software like the crappy android software from nikon and qDSLRdashboard always connects.
I have the same problem with my windows tablet. digicamcontrol connects in a wink of an eye but helicon remote tries and then stops trying.

I set up a camera in Network cameras
Camera: D600 Address 192.168.1.1 Type: Auto

Am I doing something wrong?

No, I think you're doing nothing wrong. It looks like the camera indicates an error somewhere, and Helicon Remote didn't put this into log. Please send us an e-mail to heliconsoft@gmail.com and we'll send you a new version of Remote to try.
