      If the encryption keys don't match when the authentication method for encryption is set to [Open system], this error can occur. The setting is case-sensitive, so check upper- and lower-case characters. Ensure that the correct encryption key for authentication is set on the Canon Modem.

      Amy GoodmanAug 22, 2025
      A 'Wireless LAN connection lost' error with your Canon Modem can occur if the wireless connection was lost and cannot be restored. Possible reasons include excessive access to the access point from another device, a microwave oven or similar appliance nearby interfering with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band), or influence of rain or high humidity. You can try to move the antenna of the access point to a position clearly visible from the point of view of the camera or bring the camera and the connected device or the antenna of the access point closer together.

      If another device on the camera network is using the same IP address as the camera, this issue can occur. Change the Canon Modem’s IP address to avoid using the same address as another device on the network. If the Canon Modem’s IP address is set to [Manual setting] in network environments using a DHCP server, change the setting to [Auto setting].

The MAC address can be checked on the [General sett.] screen.

    What to do if Canon w-e1 has no address assigned by DHCP server?
    • C
      christopherrossSep 8, 2025
      If no DHCP server is used, configure settings after setting the IP address to [Manual setting] on the Canon Modem. Otherwise, turn on the DHCP server, increase the number of addresses assigned by the DHCP server, remove devices assigned addresses by the DHCP server from the network to reduce the number of addresses in use, check the DHCP server settings to make sure it is working correctly as a DHCP server, or ask your network administrator to ensure the DHCP server is available.
