Checking The Type Of Access Point - Canon EOS REBEL T7I Wi-Fi (Wireless Communication) Function Instruction Manual

Checking the Type of Access Point

To start with, check if the access point supports WPS* that allows easy
Wi-Fi connection between Wi-Fi devices.
If you do not know if the access point you use is WPS-compatible, refer
to the access point instruction manual or other documentation.
* Wi-Fi Protected Setup
When WPS is supported

The following two Wi-Fi connection methods are available.
Connection can be established easier with WPS (PBC mode).
• Establishing a Wi-Fi connection with WPS (PBC mode): Perform
the operations described on page 110 onwards.
• Establishing a Wi-Fi connection with WPS (PIN mode): Perform
the operations described on page 114 onwards.
When WPS is not supported

• Connecting to a detected network manually via Wi-Fi: Perform the
operations described on page 118 onwards.
Access Point Encryption
This camera supports the following options for [Authentication] and
[Encryption settings]. Therefore, when connecting to a detected
network manually via Wi-Fi, the encryption used by the access point
must be one of the following.
[Authentication]: Open system, Shared key, or WPA/WPA2-PSK

[Encryption settings]: WEP, TKIP, or AES

If stealth functions of the access point are active, Wi-Fi connection

may be disabled. Deactivate stealth functions.
When connecting to a network that has a network administrator, ask the

administrator about the detailed setting procedures.
If the network you use filters by MAC address, register the MAC address of
the camera at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the
[View info] screen (p.135).
