Seriously, what do you expect from us now?
Does your phone connect properly to the Wifi? What IP does your Phone get assigned? You can try to manually request an IP from the router, incase you messed something up with the DHCP Server Settings?
Ok, having re-read my first post, apologies if I jumped straight into the topic - was posting in a bit more haste than ideal.
But you're getting my original immediate response first...
[Do you have to be so condescending to someone trying this very new technology out for the first time?! I have never connected a camera by wifi to my phone, sorry if it seems so painfully simple to you that no-one should have any insovable issues with it!
We aren't all IT specialists, and even if we have some IT experience it's probably not with routers etc...
Rant over.]
I'm trying to connect my camera to my phone with the TPLink router to use DSLR Dashboard. And I'm struggling at about the second step - I've probably missed something obvious, but I'm a newbie at this router stuff and can't see what I could have missed...
All I was trying to ask was that if someone else has had the same issue, and found a way to solve it, please could they share it.
Or if someone is sufficiently clued up with this sort of thing that they know there are some obvious things that a newbie to this sort of way of controlling the camera may not have a clue they need to do to make it work, please could you also share those.
I am posting in hope not expectation. It may be that no-one has had the specific issue I've had. Or that they don't have an easy answer. But if they have, it would help enormously as I have no idea where to go next with this.
And the reason I said "I believe I've successfully updated the router software" (to openwrt) is that is one of the first things the video (which I found on the forum) about how to set up the tplink connection said you needed to do. So I was trying to say "I think I've done that bit OK" (there wasn't really anything else I could have done at that stage, according to practice and the video). But having got to the stage where you connect via your phone, it doesn't connect. And I'm out of ideas why.
And as other folks have been ranted at for not giving error codes etc, I gave as much info as I could.
Hopefully there are some more friendly folks out there who are more clued up than me and understand that we can't all mind-read the exact way the gurus would like questions to be asked!
