What encryption methods does Canon w-e1 support?
The camera supports the following encryption methods: WEP, TKIP, and AES. Make sure that the Canon Modem uses supported encryption methods.
Why does my Canon w-e1 say connection target not found?
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.
What to do if Canon w-e1 Modem wireless LAN connection is lost?
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.
How to fix 'Device with same IP address exists' error on Canon w-e1?
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].
How to fix Canon Modem wireless LAN authentication failed?
The Canon Modem supports the following authentication methods: [Open system], [Shared key], and [WPA/WPA2-PSK]. Also, ensure that the correct encryption key for authentication is set on the camera and register the MAC address of the W-E1 used at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the [General sett.] screen.
What to do if Canon w-e1 Modem selected SSID wireless LAN network not found?
To resolve this issue, try the following: Move the antenna of the access point to a position clearly visible from the point of view of the camera, bring the camera and the antenna of the access point closer together, check the SSID at the access point, then set the same SSID on the Canon Modem, turn on the power of the access point, or register the MAC address of the W-E1 used at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the [General sett.] screen.
What to do if Canon w-e1 Modem cannot connect to wireless LAN terminal?
To solve this problem with your Canon Modem, hold down the WPS button for the period of time specified in the access point’s instruction manual. You may also try establishing the connection when both devices are within reach of each other.
What to do if Canon Modem has found multiple wireless LAN terminals?
To resolve this issue with Canon Modem, wait a while before trying to establish the connection, or try to establish a connection in PIN code connection mode (PIN mode).
What to do if Canon w-e1 has no address assigned by DHCP server?
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.
What to do if Canon Modem shows 'Other error'?
If a problem other than error code number 11 to 69 occurred, turn off and on the Canon Modem’s power switch.
