I am unable to get the wi-fi feature to work on my D750. My iPhone 7 is using IOS version 11.4. Nikon tells me this version of IOS is not compatible with the Wi-fi feature on the D750. I'm assuming I would have to go back to a previous version of IOS to get it to work. Anybody else had the problem?
It's not you, it's Snapbridge, Nikon's software that is the problem.

With all of the 'miracle' devices that many of us have in our homes, the odds that some of them might interfere with others of them is high! It seems that you have gotten very familiar with a few of the 'gremlins' that luck in your home now, too!
I don't use the WiFi link to offload photos either, but I have gotten a lot of use out of the ability to remotely view...and trigger, my D750 by using my iPhone. I am attaching a shot that I did last fall. It's a pano of about a dozen images, taken with my D750 mounted atop a Manfrotto 13' light stand. By using the WiFi link and WMU, I was able to take correctly overlapped images by merely rotating the tube of the light stand. In addition, I could frame the shots to include the 'photographer' as he operated the camera...(5 of the images in this pano are of me...!) Just would not have been able to do this without a remote trigger of some sort...fun stuff...!

I've tried and the software was so bad it wasn't worth it. At one point I could use it to remotely take a shot and then transfer the jpeg to my phone. It was so slow I could shoot RAW, process and export to my phone faster and better. I've written this feature off as not valuable to me.
In some events, the high end cameras allow you to send you jpegs for quick use. Big sports events that happens. The events I do I get to use the time between periods to cull and upload as I don't have an editor. Beyond sending to and editor, I don't see a good use case for it. Curious about other applications.

If you re-read the OP, you can see that this problem does not involve Snapbridge at all....the failure is in the link between the D750 and the iPhone. This is the basic first step in getting the WiFi link to connect....other operations come along much later in the set up process.
