wow awesome job you have done
my idea to build this repeater is about how can we makes our phantom flew arround the city while we controlled at living room not at roof top at the house
its cold and its windy
i want to flew phantom with relax sit on sofa drink cofee and see video feeds at my 60" tv screen, oh thats awesome
but i think with no clue for howto expand RC signal (5.8ghz) that will be hard to do
it become useless we can expand 2.4ghz without 5.8ghz
connection still disconnected when rc lost with the ac
even 2.4ghz still have a strong signal
in other word i'm still have to flew phantom at roof top because still can't repeater the rc 5.8ghz signal, yes it can be done with long RG cable from the roof to living room but what a mess :lol
I am not sure where you live, but in the states the FAA rule says that you can only fly your drone within Visual line of sight (VLOS). You cannot use any devices (binoculars, scopes, etc.) to visually see the drone.
Also, they higher the frequency, the shorter the range. The only way you can boost the range is to get an amplifier. You can get one like this to help: 5.8ghz amp
I did tried to use repeater mode of AP (Xiaomi youth router and D-Link Dir-806M). It was one more thing that I use wired lan connection with otg usb lancard. But, Ojcze Nasz mod is enough to get good video transfer. So, I didn't use repeater any more.
Here is another suggestion that might help your outdoor range issue: 10-15km outdoor Wi-Fi antenna

Two wireless connection are existed. (Body and RC Controller, RC controller and Mobile Device). Sometimes, the wireless connection is unstable data transfer rate between RC and mobile device. It also make signal lost. So, I thought the more stable connection between RC controller and Mobile Device.
I did work.!!! But, it is very limited solution. Nvidia shield tablet supports external usb wired lancard by otg. The other mobile devices didn't supported it. So, I forgived to use this kinds of connection because it is not common cases. I don't need to explain how to set repeater mode. Please refer AP product manual.

I tried this mode too with Xiaomi Nano router ,but extended only maximum 100 m I think about that to add to copter maybe itt will be better
does this do what you want to do?
REDbird - 5.8ghz RC Repeater for DJI P2V+ - PLEASE RE-WATCH BERRYs DEMO VIDEO
Hi. I'm new for this, do you have any instructions available for this. Step to step? I'd like to build one my self.oke guys this is my maiden flight report so far
1. RC txpower down to 17dBm enough to prevent noise because no need a lot of power on rc anymore
2. AC txpower up to 25dBm
3. RC with stock 2.4ghz antenna + patch 5.8ghz 11dBi
4. Repeater use 2.4ghz 9dBi omni + 2.4ghz 11 dBi patch
5. Repeater powered by 2s (8.4v) low for reqirement the router need 12volt
6. test on urban area with a lot of interference
7. many high building and BTS tower
result:
1. only get 1.5km it because RC signal knock out but signal 2.4ghz never lost still full
2. battery router 10 minutes running drop into 7.6volt (3.80/cell)
conclution:
are you guys kidding me? its working !!!
next project extend my 5.8ghz!!
note for point 5 i'm using 2s battery only 3x2cm not with generator
max range before RC 5.8ghz knock out

equipment, RC with 2.4ghz stock antenna + 11 dBi patch antenna for 5.8ghz

Do you have some step to step instructions for this?edited!
#1
not cons but i mean pros
so embarrassed, english is not my mother language
another pros
its compatible with all dji phantom firmware! no need updagrade / downgrade
leave it as what is was
note again!
its all about 2.4ghz for phantom video feeds, not for extend rc (5.8ghz)
good luck
#2
For easy way just create client from the router, and connected into phantom ssid, after connected then ADD again with Access Point (WDS) from the router, that OpenWRT call it REPEATER MODE, but why i'm not doing that easy way because router need to connected into RC 1st before broadcast for repeater mode active
if i'm doing that i can't show you all devices bind together into router, because all devices is on RC range makes all devices prefer to connected into RC rather then into ROUTER, but if the AC lost connection with the RC it begin connection into router (repeater)
#3 Repeater PART 2 without connecting a single cable
Sorry but the member you quoted hasn't been on in over a year and this thread was last posted in Sept. of 16.Do you have some step to step instructions for this?
