first thanks for all the work. I own a D7500 and now with latest firmware update v1.10 I'm able to access it by WiFi only bypassing the Snapbridge Bluetooth interworking.
As my network is running on 192.168.1.00/24 it is hard to have a two face access from my laptop to the camera by Wifi and to my intranet as both will use the same subnet. So I was looking for an option inside the camera to change, there is nothing. Also with available tools WMU/WTU/Snapbridge this looks not feasible. So I came to Nikonhacker.
Following the instructions for the FirmwareDecoder (via Emulator) first it failed fore the D7500 frmware, then I saw the offset change for the Z6/Z7, manually stripping these 0x20 bytes from the firmware bin made the decoder working. I got three files
1) a1450_010101.bin - well known
2) b1450_110d.bin - also well know, this is the UI part
3) _wma_ver01.11.00 - Looking to the strings inside it looks to be the WiFi part implementiong a simple WU2 adapter realising a USB to PTPIP bridge.
As you may know the default DHCP server address of the camera is 192.168.1.1 which is C0.A8.1.1 in hex. Knowing this and looking up 3) in a hex editor identifies
- Code: Select all
- 00042F10 00 01 01 A8 C0 00 FF FF FF 02 01 A8 C0 00 00 00 ...¨À.ÿÿÿ..¨À...
- |Server | Mask | DHCP clnt |
which is eactly the default IP configuration.
So a patch could be set up to modify these 3 address to avoid conflicts in local networks.
Few side notes:
1) I could not identify these settings from settings stored on SD card
2) The WU2 seems to have a lot more capabilities like FTP or Infrastructure mode (connecting to an AP), which I would like to have

3) In UI binary I could not find any strings pointing to hidden/switched off menus for Infrastructure/FTP etc, so adding this would be a much higher effort, hardly feasible for leisure time to write such a rucksack.
So to conclude, might be an option to provide a patch to all the cams which recently got the update for standalone WiFi connection like the D7500.
Any ideas which further cameras would be feasible?
