Range Extender Removal

[jwwgold]

Can the range extender be removed from the flow of data? Can I replace it with a generic extender or just connect directly to the V+ from my phone just to test if my loss of FPV is related to the extender?

I believe you can connect directly to the P2V+ but the SSID is hidden.
You can use a WiFi scanner app like inSSIDer to scan for the hidden SSID.

You may be able to do this but you are going to get extremely limited range if you go straight from the phone to the Vision+.

What's the problem?

I have the same ailment that has been going around. First 2 weeks great FPV next couple weeks freezing, after that no FPV at all. I've tried all the rebinding old app etc nothing works. I wonder if it's the extender cause it seems to go in and out a according to my S5.

I've done this ... you can find the Phantom's SSID while connected to the repeater... Open the DJI vision app and go to the Binding tab in settings... it is listed there...

You will be able to connect directly to the phantom but that's where the problems begin... without the repeater placed in line the connection will keep dropping... The phantom knows that the repeater is not hooked up and keeps dumping your connection... it will hold for awhile if you don't touch anything... but try to tilt the camera and boom... disconnect... or any other control for that matter ... same result.
