Are you saying that the 760D does not have wi-fi to a PC?

I'm a bit confused because I cannot get mine to connect to my Windows 8 computer. I have found info on connecting it to a smartphone but not a computer. The camera has a setting for connecting to smartphones, other cameras, printers, the web, and what appears to be a desktop computer based on the icon.

But the EOS Utility is not seeing the camera even after I connect it to my network.

The manual also shows that you can view the wireless LAN connection status but it doesn't show you how to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I think EOS Utility via Wi-Fi is simply not there.

70D Wi-Fi instruction manual specifically lists one of the Wi-Fi options as (4) Operate Camera remotely using EOS Utility.

760D Wi-Fi instruction manual does not list that as an option.

Hi,

Got my 760D yesterday, and now discovered, that I cannot sync my photos or control camera over WIFI to Windows PC. There is no EOS Utility icon in camera Wifi menu. ...

This feature exists on 6D, 70D

Product differentiation. 70D WiFi enables remote operation via EOS Utility. The lower featured, lower priced 760D/T6S and 750D/T6i do not.
