EOS Rebel T6 Encryption key needed for Canon Camera Connect

[T3Edge]

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera.  I'm trying to download pictures to my Android. I'm trying to connect to the camera, but it keeps giving me an error.  I've downloaded my Canon Camera Connect, and the SSID comes out as my wifi, but when I look for the description Key, none shows up, instead, it only says Channel Auto Setting, therefore not allowing me to connect the camera to my phone.

Hello T3Edge,

The "encryption key" would be the password for the network that you are using. In this case, that would be the password for your WI-FI network. If you are still having issues getting connected after checking on that, then let's try a fresh start. Let's start by resetting the camera wireless to default settings and going from the top through the process.

1. Turn the camera on and press the “Menu” button. Navigate to the first tools tab which is labeled in yellow and has a symbol of a wrench.
   
   2. Highlight and select “Wi-Fi function” on this menu screen by pressing SET on the camera.
   
   3. Press the “DISP” button on the camera.
   
   4. Select “Clear Wi-Fi settings” and then select “OK” when it’s displayed on the camera’s screen.
   
   5. If the Wi-Fi/NFC option shows “Disable”, then select “Enable” to enable the wireless feature on the camera. You may need to provide a new nickname for the camera.
   
   6. Then highlight and select “Wi-Fi function” on the menu screen by pressing SET on the camera.
   
   7. Select the icon for connecting to the smartphone.
   
   8. Select “Easy Connection” and highlight “OK” on the bottom right of the screen. Press SET.
   
   10. The camera LCD screen will display the SSID name and new password which is labeled “Encryption key”.
   
   11. Go to the Wi-Fi network screen on your phone, select the camera to connect to and then enter in the new password when prompted.
   
   12. After connecting to the camera's Wi-Fi on the phone please navigate and open the Canon Camera Connect app. Please wait up to 30 seconds until you see a window pop up which will state “New camera found”. It will display the camera within this window. Tap on your camera model to connect to it.
   
   13. On the back of your camera you will see your phone appear on the LCD screen. Press “OK” on the bottom right. This will finalize the handshake between the two devices.
