Hi there, I hope this thread is still open. I am trying to do this without success. I am not very savvy with these things sorry. The info below maybe useful in seeing if you can help me.

I am on a mac. In the mac's wifi settings I can see and then connect to my camera. When I have disconnected the camera and reconnect with the mac I have to keep entering the encryption shown on my camera 750d

In airnef I don't know if I am using the correct IP - I have tried trying 'auto' and then the only IP address that I can see on the camera's display.

My phone has been off and on. On my camera I am choosing "smartphone" option in wifi function.

In airnef I have chosen view images to download in both camera and computer. It establishes a connection but it said my camera wont negotiate.

My camera screen tells me connection failed with ERR011 when its on camera and on computer I get ERR12 but I cant find anything about these errors.

I also have an iMac.  My T6s (760d) has wifi and my workaround is simple ... IF you have an iPhone or iPad.  Using either the camera's wifi or a simple SD to lightning connector card reader, I transfer my photos to my Apple device.  I usually use the wifi transfer for the phone, and the card reader for the iPad.  Then it's a simple matter to select the pictures I want on my iMac, wait a few seconds for AirDrop to recognize the computer, and then just hit the send button.  AirDrop is fast and reliable ... as long as you have AirDrop enabled.

Alternately, you can have your devices share the same iCloud account which will store your photos on all devices, although this can be quite a slow process.  If you're not hung up on a wireless transfer, there's always that SD slot on the computer itself.
