Bloody bold it seems that something may be flawed with your phantom from the beginning possible a bad wifi module or repeater. I would definitely take flptflyers advice and get the fpvlr dipoles. I too had an increase of about 4000 feet when I added them. However if you don't see substantial increases o would look to change out the wifi module or repeater. Do you have access to some else's wifi repeater and change it out to see if that has an effect. Perhaps try to narrow down the possible causes for low stock range. Are you aiming right at your uav with good los?
phantom13flyer and Flptflyer, first off thank you for your response.
I have some new flight findings to report, today I was able to achieve a flight of 2835 ft at an altitude of 210 ft. The differences of this flight were as follows;
- While looking through the settings in DJI assistant I enabled the use of cellular data as I just purchased a iPad mini 3 w/cellular for my new monitor screen.
- Also I changed the flight control method to naza and played around with the controls a bit before changing it back to phantom mode as the grand kids would be helping fly to day and want to be in a safe mode just in case. This may or may not have allowed the firmware to better take hold, this is often the case in control systems that are plc based but unsure if it applies here.
- The flight was done at the lake house over water something that would allow the wifi signal to skip allowing for a possibility as to my new found distance.
(edited) No I do not have access to another wifi repeater.
I have seen the posts relating to the fpvlr dipoles and will probably look at doing this mod as well however I look at my P2V+ as a trainer/stepping stone and am not interested it sinking a lot of extra $$$ into it but what the heck it's only money right and I thank you two for sharing your results. I am headed to CO for a photo workshop this coming week so it will be two weeks before getting around to implementing it.
