I’m using a Nikon D5200 with the Nikon WU-1a wireless adapter and it keeps disconnecting from my iPhone. Has anyone found a reliable fix or setup step that helps keep the connection stable?

Try turning on airplane mode. That is what many users recommend via reviews in the App Store.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A commonly recommended fix is to enable airplane mode on the iPhone, then manually turn Wi‑Fi back on and connect to the WU-1a network. This can reduce the phone switching to cellular or another network, which may cause disconnects.
Basic setup to try:
- Turn on airplane mode on the iPhone.
- Re-enable Wi‑Fi.
- Connect to the WU-1a’s Wi‑Fi network.
- Open Nikon’s app and connect.
If the adapter still drops out after that, the issue may be with app compatibility or the accessory itself, but airplane mode is the main fix suggested in the community response provided.
