The connection isn't established until you open the canon camera connect software. I have never been able to establish a connection through my router, only a direct connection from camera to phone.

So turn on wifi on the camera so acts like an access point. Connect to the Canon SSID that shows up on your phone, then open the canon camera app on your phone.

Thanks. That's exactly what I've done. The problem is that the camera still says "Waiting to connect". I posted images of all that above. A clue might be that on page 22 of the T7i Wi-Fi manual, it says to "Select Pairing" (for establishing a Bluetooth connection), but on my camera, "Pairing" is disabled.
