I am able to connect my EOS rp to my iphone to see the images as I shoot them but not able to connect to my ipad pro. they are both on the same wi fi network, Also, how can I have the camera create it's own wi fi network, it I can then it would be simple to connect my pad using this method

First and foremost, having built-in Wi-Fi does not mean the camera is fully networkable. Personally, I would use Bluetooth because it is a connection that will tend to not drop out when your smart device includes phone service.

Bluetooth is a relatively short range connection. The camera uses Wi-Fi technology to merely create a much longer range connection than Bluetooth. That is it as far as Wi-Fi functionality goes. Again, the camera is not fully networkable.

Keep the above in mind when you set up a Wi-Fi connection, because just as Bluetooth establishes a different connection configuration for each Bluetooth connected device, you will need to setup a different connection configuration for each Wi-Fi connected device.

As you suggested I tried using Bluetooh to connect, on the camera I selected bluetooth and then pairing.On my ipad pro is selected but the paring does not work, It list the various devices, my computer but not the camera, any suggestions. As I had mentioned it works on my iphone using wi fi. I think it did work once on my ipad, not sure. is there a way that I can have the camera create it's own wi fi address?

Thanks much

Connecting with Bluetooth automated the WiFi connection process. You mentioned a computer!
