Hello -

System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Firewall --> Firewall Options --> Uncheck "Enable Stealth Mode"

Start the EOS Util, Click the "Pairing over WiFi/LAN" button, and a new window "EOS Pairing Software" should appear, with the Camera and MAC and IP addresses (or simply the window with no info).

After you've done this, on the camera side, you may have to turn off the wifi, turn it back on, then enter wifi-function --> Confirm Set, then exit all that. Wait about 5 seconds, and the EOS Utility window with Download and other options should appear.

In trying to get my 6D to connect, and getting this message, I found this forum.
