G7Xii does not connect to my Windows Laptop

Okay...I have home Wifi. The camera picks up on the network just fine, but can't see either my laptop or my desktop. Funnily enough, they can see the camera when I click on add a new device. Click on the canon camera icon and it asks for a PIN number for the camera. Both computers are running windows 10.  

 

I tried calling Canon support. Someone was on the phone with me, but couldn't get the camera to work after trying numerous suggestions. At the end, I was asked whether I was running my network at 2.4 GHz. I wasn't sure. I though it could do both, but wasn't sure. I thought I was on 5 GHz and the agent thought that was the issue as the cameras need 2.4, but we didn't actually check my Wifi network speed. He ended the call on that note. I contacted my ISP and they told me I need a dual band router...but that's what I have. So, they said I could run either speed on their network and to look at my current connection.  When I found it...it was running at 2.4 GHz. 

 

If the camera malfunctioning? Or is there some little tweak that will connect it?  

 

Why doesn't Canon include a USB cable with the camera?  Why?  Seriously. Why?
