With Wi-Fi Easy Connect, a network owner chooses one device as the central point of configuration. Usually this device is one with a rich user interface, such as a smartphone or tablet, but could be any device capable of scanning a QR code, NFC tag, or downloading device information from the cloud and running the protocol developed by Wi-Fi Alliance. The chosen device is considered a configurator and all other devices are enrollees. The user establishes a secure connection to an enrollee device by scanning the device-specific QR code, NFC tag, or downloading information from the cloud associated with that device. This prompts the protocol to run and automatically provisions the enrollee with the credentials needed to access the network.
A device can be seamlessly added to the network with near zero touch or true zero touch methods. Near zero touch provisioning and configuration can be done using a QR code. True zero touch provisioning and configuration can be done by downloading device information into the configurator from the cloud. The user simply powers up the device and it is automatically connected to the network.
There is no limit to the number of devices a configurator may provision for a network, unless the network itself has connection limitations. Additionally, Wi-Fi Easy Connect enables bulk enrollment of Wi-Fi devices.
The printer was connected and working fine until I had an Apple technician (it went to the Genius Bar) reformat my hard drive to get rid of some remote viewing software my ex-husband had surreptitiously installed.
Used to connect no bother to my Huawei Pro 30 when I was out and about, but now it seems to think a password is required. When I used the Connect to EOS Utility to locate a password (which for some reason keeps changing? useless) and use that for the Wifi connection on my phone I get a connection but without internet so the pairing fails.
I've deleted Canon Connect from my phone, deleted the camera from Connect, reset communication settings on the R6m2...tried everything with a fresh start....and nothing is working. I can get a Bluetooth connection, but not a Wifi to import images.
I typically connect with BT, but just did a WiFi connection. To do this, I opened the camera's Wifi settings and enabled WiFi. I then opened the Camera Connect App and selected my R5 C. It displays with the last connection method which was BT. I told the App to use another method. It then waits for camera.
Now return to the camera menu. On my camera the option is called Wifi bluetooth connection. I then select smartphone and wifi. The camera displays its SSID name and password. I then open WiFi on my phone and look for the SSID name the camera is broadcasting. Select it and enter the password.
Now your phone is connected to the camera. Return to the CC App and tap the box that says the camera is ready and the App can connect. Press next and the App connects. Then browse the card(s) for images. Tap to select one or all, then press the import button. If you have the Auto Transfer toggle enabled, they will start importing immediately without selecting them.
I recommend first establishing a Bluetooth connection. Once that connection is made, ask the Canon Connect app to download photos. I would expect that you will be prompted to use Wi-Fi for faster file transfers.
Many people complain about the Wi-Fi connection to the camera hotspot drops out. I suspect the most likely cause of this switch is because the phone is looking for an Internet connection. Your phone service provider typically includes an internet connection.
So, the camera automatically switches to the Wi-Fi connection with Internet. You should be able to control and disable automatic network switching and automatic network connections in your mobile device settings.
Kind of feel like no-one is reading what I'm saying and is instead giving their boilerplate responses even though I've tried all of that as I outlined above. On my last phone no password was required and it connected instantly with no issue. Now a password is required that changes all the time and even when it says its connected it's not connected.
The camera's wifi does not default to a "open system" unsecured wireless network. The camera's broadcast has a password. Just like the WiFi on any secured network. If it didn't employ this, anyone within range of your cameras wifi when enabled would be able to connect to it. Canon doesn't do this. Sorry if our answers appear boiler plate.
If you reset the network settings on the camera and review them (without trying to connect anything) you'll see the the SSID name will be a variation of the Camera model (example) R6MKII_0CFEB4-CanonOA underscore then the last few digits of its network adapters MAC address, then a password that secures the network.
When a successful Wi-Fi connection is made the wireless icon on your mobile device will display with a wireless icon and a !... which indicates your mobile device is associated/connected to a wireless broadcast that doesn't have internet access. I know it can be frustrating, but you are super close.

My suggestion was to FIRST establish a Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth automates the Wi-Fi connection process. No password is required because any passwords or security data is automatically exchanged across the Bluetooth connection.
If you are being prompted for a password, then something is amiss. The camera establishes its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Your smart device should ask if you wish to connect to a new network. I suggest that you check your smart device settings. Does it prompt you to connect to new networks?

The order in which you do things is the key to initiating the automatic Wi-Fi connection process. Do not attempt to configure a Wi-Fi connection directly from the menus, This method prompts you for a password.
I'm getting so confused by the contradictory information in the responses, only further outlining that there's something amiss. I'm having no problem establishing a Bluetooth connection, but it will not connect via wifi out of home - it will connect and transfer just fine over my home wifi, but that won't be of use when Im tens of thousands of miles away from tomorrow..
the password prompt to conect where i;'d added the SSID from the access points in Connect to an EOS Utility.It searches for a prolonged period before getting the next errorif anyone can make heads or tails of the configuration here and why it says its connected, but notit states it cannot work. i try to delete the camera communication settings and all details off the phone too
I've never actually noticed this till now, but there does not seem to be a simple way to connect to wifi in sway right now. I didn't have this problem before because I had setup my initial wifi connections in gnome shell and then migrated over to sway.
Yesterday my connection to my EXT6100 AC750v2 just cut out on both my iPad and PC at the same time with no warning. I checked the extender and it was still plugged in and both of the green lights were on (one signifying a connection to the router and the other a connection to a device). Every time I entered the password on my iPad for the extender to reconnect, the prompt would just disappear and then reappear as if I didn't do anything. My PC will also just fail to connect to the network. I have tried restarting the extender, restarting the modem, rebooting both devices, re-syncing WPS on the extender and the modem and I end up with the same result, only now the light to signify a connection to the device just isn't on. ALL other devices in the house can connect to the extender with no issues. The firmware is up to date (version 1.0.0.50 I believe?) and I'm currently trying to find an ethernet cable for a direct connection to the extender to see if that helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I restored the extender to factory default settings (through mywifiext.net) and everything works as it did before. I assume it was something to do with a new firmware update but I'm still not too sure.
My AC1000 Dual Band WiFi Router, model R6080 is acting funky. All lights on the router are green except for the internet signal. When I try to connect to my 2.4G WiFi network, my phone will to try to connect to my WiFi network, but then display a "failed to connect to network" message. My phone will then switch to the 5G WiFi signal and say its connected via Nighthawk. The firmware version on my router is v1.0.0.52. My computer is connected to my router through an ethernet cable and I'm able to access the internet.
Sorry for the confusion. By "isn't working" I mean it shows up as a WIFI network on my devices, but they're unable to connect to it. The 2.4 GHz devices I'm using are my work laptop, kindle, and smart bulbs.
Devices were originally suggesting the 5GHz wifi network. I had them forget the regular 2.4GHz network and was able to connect my devices and smart bulbs to the 2.4GHz network. I believe having my devices forget the 2.4GHz network did the trick and resolved the issue. Internet speed test on my computer and phone are showing a strong connection to the 2.4GHz network (+30Mbps download/ +5.70Mbps upload).
Just starting to learn Xcode and I can test the first chapter's app on my iPhone if it's conncted via USB-C. The book walks me through the part where I can allow Xcode to connect to the iPhone via WiFi, just checking "Connect via Network."
