- Thanks @Shumaku. Was thinking of the R series as I replied without coffee. Thank you for pointing this out. Changes everything. There is no way I would recommend trying to connect wirelessly in bridge mode. Would be a futile effort, as well as unreliable.
Thanks for all the replies.
Will have to consider whether to keep trying or give it away.
Will provide feedback if I continue and have any success.
Thanks again
Greetings. Not sure how much of a "solution" I provided here. Depending on wireless as the sole means for a bridge connection isn't robust or sustainable as you have discovered. Bridging over ethernet is preferred and what I would recommend. DSL is becoming less common but does suit some people's application or needs.
Just an update for those who have helped so far.
Have connected D6300 in bridge mode via ethernet cable and all appears to working fine.
Not what I wanted, but it works.
Will maybe still have a go at the wireless setup, but don't hold your breath waiting for an update
Thanks again
