Sounds like a possibly bad card. Try a regular card. BTW, Canon does not provide support for 3rd party products.

Canon doesn't make cards, do they? Is an EyeFi card more of a 3rd-party product than a Lexar or Sandisk card?

I'm not aware of any memory cards on the market under the Canon brand name. In fact, Canon doesn't even include a memory card with their DSLR cameras. Canon leaves the selection of brand and memory capacity up to the consumer.

Bob, EYEFI is a 3rd party card for wirelessly transmitting images from my camera to my iPad, iPhone iMac . It has functioned well over the years. Just quit transmitting, although still works well a a SD card. Canon support thinks it is a bad setting in the camera. EYEFI replaced the card when it stopped working,but still doe not connect
Yeah, I know what an EyeFi card is. And based on my overall knowledge of WiFi, which is (or at least was) considerable, I'm a bit surprised that they work at all.
But my point was that since Canon apparently doesn't make cards, all cards used in their cameras are, by definition, third-party. And since a digital camera doesn't work without a card in it, Canon has to ensure that third-party cards see a consistent, reliable interface. So as long as an EyeFi card doesn't make unrealistic assumptions about a camera's functionality, Canon presumably has to support it as it does any other card.

Canon is not obligated to support any manufacturer's memory card. Canon supports a communication standard for the memory card slot, which the memory card manufacturers' products also support.
To the OP:
As far as Wi-Fi goes, support for those products is not clear. There seems to have been an accommodation for one, or more, brand of card in a handful of Canon products. The following is from a Rebel T5 manual, which is typical for most Canon Gear.
Canon does not guarantee that the cards' Wi-Fi functionality will work. Cards can, and do, eventually fail. You say that you have gotten years worth of use form a single card. You got your money's worth, I'd say.
[EDIT] Just to be absolutely clear. The memory card slot in the cameras is designed to conform to an international standard. That standard DOES NOT INCLUDE Wi-Fi functionality, which is why Canon cannot officially support Eye-Fi cards.

not a bad card.have 2. tried both
i KNOW canon does not support 3rd party. they kindly offered suggestions that did not work.
the same card once worked. no longer does
I repeat, try using a regular card. You need to first determine whether or not the camera is working properly without the EYE-FI card.
