I am aware that it is possible to tether a camera to PC via the WiFi network that is created by the WiFi-enabled camera itself. But I want to know if it is possible to tether by connecting both camera and PC to any other common WiFi network.

Specifically, I am using Sony Alpha6400 and qDSLRDashboard as PC client for tethering. I connected the camera to my home WiFi network (to which my PC is connected). But I do not know how to go ahead. qDSLRDashboard does not seem to recognize the camera connected to same WiFi network.

Note: I have not tried this in Sony Imaging Edge. This question is specific to qDSLRDashboard.

Thank you for your answers.

toolbar of qDSLRDashboard

According to the documentation, the network button (which looks like a single square connected to three squares, #2 in the above photo) is for connecting to a running instance of qDSLRDashboard on another PC. For example, if you have the camera connected to a laptop, you can connect to the laptop over the WiFi network with this feature. The Wireless button (#3) is for connecting to Nikon WU-1a/1b/D5300. This is not compatible with Sony cameras.

There does not appear to be any functionality for connecting to the A6400 wirelessly.
