Same here but then all WIFI's aren't equal.

I am going to work on my 80D & M50 today

Hmm, I am having a problem connecting my SX60 now but it was working last year. Checked my 80D and SX700 and both of those are still working. It does seem a bit cumbersome but once you go through the process, it gets easier. I had to reset my remembered connections in all the cameras in the past when I moved to a new phone (at least that is what I remembered to get the new phone to work).


My SX60 is no longer giving me an SSID and its MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF which doesn't look right at all.

Q

You are correct - the MAC address is not correct. Can you do a factory reset from the menu? If that’s not available, how about removing the battery, holding down the shutter button for ~30 seconds and then restarting?

It’s hard to figure out, but once you do, it works well. I frequently have to reconnect my device, but it has become second nature. When the connection does not work, I turn onwifi, go to WiFi function, disconnect the device, reconnect, and that’s it. You have to make sure that you are switching WiFi from whatever you are connected to to your camera,which should show up on the available networks. Open the cannon appand wait a few seconds for the images on camera option to light up. Press it and the photoswill show up on your device, where you can choose the ones you want. I hope this helps,

There may be a way to hook your T6S up if you're interested. It was how we hooked up Canon cameras before they came out with built-in wifi. You can find the details here: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-39381-1.html or maybe not.

Thanks for the irrelevant comment. TriX

Like yours was? Are you serious? Putting a wire cage over your computer to “protect it” from WiFi? If you post an inane irrelevant comment, you can expect a smart-assed response. Not only was it irrelevant to the OP’s question, but it is technically/factually incorrect.

So let me guess, TriX you've never seen (first hand / up close) a secured (caged) data server/system in a static room or other secure location. I'm guess you haven't.

You are mistaken - I have, many times - every three letter intel agency has been my customer, and I’ve been in dozens of SCIFS. I spent a dozen years at Tektronix selling and using spectrum analyzers in every RF environment you can imagine, including TEMPEST environments, and I worked for a company that designed TEMPEST rated enclosures for five years. Here are the issues with your comment:

1) first, if you have disabled the WiFi reciever on the computer, there is no issue. The air around you is filled with RF - AM and FM radio, TV, cellphones, WIFI, leakage from your microwave when operating, maybe even your electric meter may be transmitting a signal. BUT, none of those affect your computer in any way if your WIFI reciever is turned off.
2) if you want to construct a helmholtz cage, then it needs to be constructed of copper wire with copper corners and a gasketed door (you do need access to your computer, don’t you?) with everything soldered.
3) then, every conductor in every wire attached to your computer is a potential antenna - power, mouse, keyboard, Ethernet. EVERY conductor in each off those cables needs an appropriate RF filter.
4) and if you do all of that, what have you accomplished? So you had an issue with a wireless mouse 15 years ago, and you honestly feel all of the above is the correct response? Really?

my SX700 HS connected instantly the first try to my Iphone & Ipad! Not with my Windows 7 computer though....

The camera itself is the WiFi you are connecting to. I had difficulty until I understood that. After I have enabled WiFi on the camera, on my phone (I have zero need to connect by WiFi to my computer) I simply select the Canon WiFi as the WiFi my phone is to use. After a moment to establish the connection, I have no problems.

The software reset doesn't do a thing as I get the same results. I'm not sure what you are saying about removing the battery and holding the shutter button down for ~30 seconds either. I tried it and nothing changed so maybe I have the procedure wrong? I was looking for a hardware reset but can't find anything so I submitted a case to Canon.

Dngallagher Loc: Wilmington De.

Exactly. On my 80D I set up three wifi connections and once connected to each made sure to save them so that the wifi name stays the same each time I use it - computer, iPad and iPhone connect easily each time because they remember the wifi name and password the camera sets up.

Sounds as if you’ve done what you could to reset the camera and opening a case with Canon would probably be my next step as well. Good luck!
