I have a 6D and WIndows 8.1. I think I had a similar problem getting pairing to work the first time.I use WPA2 and use a fairly long passphrase.
The passphrase is 35 characters long. I think my problem was that I wasn't adept at using the thumbwheel to dial in the text for the passphrase. You don't get a second chance if you make a mistake and have to start the process over again. So make sure you are entering the passphrase or passcode correctly.
The text of the passphrase could only be made when initially entering the passphrase on the camera. After hitting 'enter' if you go to the entry screen, it only shows asterisks.
There does not seem to be a way to see the passphrase in clear text after entering it.When I got the passphrase wrong the I would see 5 or 6 asterisks. When I got it right the screen showed 35 asterisks not just the half dozen. So that is how I verified that it was entered correctly because it is not possible to see the text itself.I noticed that I had trouble giving the 'settings name' a unique name.
I admit to being thumwheel text entry challenged. If I messed up entering or saving a custom settings name, wifi did not work and I had to start over. So I just left the settings name at the default.The other thing I found was that if WFT is started when Windows reboots pairing happens every time I enable wifi on the camera. If I turn it on manually when I need it, it takes a number tries over several minutes to pair. In another thread someone said that there is a UPNP polling timer in the router and/or Windows. The WFT software and camera must be turned on longer than that polling timer.
I can't confirm or deny that is the case except that if WFT is always running pairing seems to be seemless.I don't understand why the wifi can't be configured when the USB cable is connnected. Not that wifi would be turned on but just that the passphrase could be entered. If that were possible then one could copy/paste into the passphrase entery field and setting the passphrase would be a snap.Steve.
The main reason I wanted this feature was for astrophotography. To be able to view the focus on a 10.1 inch pad, and then control it from inside in the warm is great, and yes I can do that from the pad, but the main stacking software I use is on the PC so I would like to do it from there as well.

All the blurb says this should work.So I can and do frequently use the card reader, I can post produce the photos, and I can use the pad, however it's extremely iritating to have bought a camera specifically for the WiFi PC link feature and it does not work, either as advertised or because the options are built into the camera, as it should.It also means the WiFi link through to canon image gateway won't work, the ability to upload eos picture styles won't work, you can't initiate eos utility from Cannon DPP, I can't upload copyright info from the PC, etc. So affects more than just the ability to transfer images.I'm sure this will be rectified, so I am keeping a close eye on the software downloads. I got a call back from a Canon support engineer, It was suggested I create a new localuser account (i.e.

That did not log on to Microsoft) with Admin privileges and re-install.I did that and it all worked fine, I was able to pair the camera and transfer images.However when I logged off and back on to my microsoft synched windows account, where you log in with your hotmail address, the network started resetting and I was unable to pair. This only stopped when I un-installed EOS Utility 2.I tried the same on my laptop and confirmed yes, it all works fine with a local account however if you log on to another microsoft account, bang, no pairing.If anyone can also confirm this it will help pinpoint the issue.
292The Canon EOS utility software (tethering) via USB or LAN In each of our test reports on Canon cameras, we have mentioned the Canon EOS utility software program which enables users to conveniently control their Canon cameras from the computer. For this reason it is high time that we put this program under the spotlight.Computer programs for controlling cameras via the PC are of key importance in microscopy. This is not only because working on the computer is considerably more convenient than constantly having to jump around in the camera menu, but also the image quality in microscopy is significantly influenced by a large variety of factors and quite a few of them can be reduced or completely eliminated in this way. A very big advantage is that the photographs are immediately available on the computer's hard drive in full resolution and can be looked at in the viewer.
In addition, thanks to the Live View image on the PC, it is possible with the magnification function (zoom) alone to achieve better results in much less time.When the program is opened (or the camera is attached to the USB interface), then this bar appears on the screen. Here, it is best to select the Av setting for automatic aperture control (optimal exposure time is selected by the camera itself) and to activate the Live View mode (Live View shooting button).In the illustration below, we have enlarged the image using the magnification function in Live View mode. This makes it very easy to set the desired focal plane.Another advantage is that the images can be discussed with several people as they appear live on the PC monitor, and they can even be used for presentations with a projector.
The images and video sequences can be stored directly on the hard drive, cutting out an entire processing step.
