Hello.

I bought a 70D a few days ago and wanted to try the wi-fi function today.

I downloaded and installed the latest software for my camera from the Canon support site.

Im having the following problem with the software.

When i run EOS Utility I get the following message:

-To connect to the camera via LAN, some Windows Firewall settings must be changed. Do you want to make these changes?

I click yes and get the next message:

-WFT FirewallSettings has stopped working.

The next message i get after i click on close program says:

Could not change the Windows Firewall settings.

I tried adding the EOS utility and EOS utility 2 manualy, and allowed acces, but it still doesnt work.

Hey,

Follow these steps please :

> In the search bar of the Windows Taskbar type : Firewall

> Click on "Allow an app through Windows Firewall"

> Click on "Change settings" button

> Click on "Allow another app..." button

> Click on "Browse..." button

> Browse to this path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Canon\EOS Utility\ and choose "EOSUPNPSV.exe" file

> Check both "Private" and "Public" for the "Canon EOS UPNP Detector"

Best
