Funnone said:I have an iPhone 5s and I notice the easiest way to connect to the phantoms Wi-Fi is to go into settings and forget any Wi-Fi that is connected to the phone and within seconds it finds the Phantom v2
Can't consistently connect to brandnew Phantom 2 Wifi that I bought from B &H photo.
I have the following problem. I turn on the copter....then I turn on the range extender. After I do this its "POWER" button turns solid green. The "SYSTEM" button next to it turns a blinking green light which lasts for maybe 45 seconds before it goes solid green. My new Iphone 5s cannot see the Phantom network at this point.
Then I wait. Sometimes its 5 minutes....sometimes its 15 minutes....(sometimes its never and I give up for that day) then suddenly the "System" light on the range extender starts to blink and all of a sudden the Phantom network pops up on my Iphone 5s and I can connect to the wifi and fly.
This is INCREDIBLY frustrating as it is a complete crapshoot every time I go out to try and fly whether I will be able to or not. The last two times that I got it to connect and flew it, I flew it about 200 feet away from me when it "Lost Connection" and flew itself home.
I am wondering if the Range Extender is bad. Has anybody else had this problem with a solid/blinking (not connecting/then maybe connecting) SYSTEM button in the manner that I have? Any suggestions would be incredibly frustrated. I am ready to throw this thing against the wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I just want to elaborate on this point
"This is INCREDIBLY frustrating as it is a complete crapshoot every time I go out to try and fly whether I will be able to or not. The last two times that I got it to connect and flew it, I flew it about 200 feet away from me when it "Lost Connection" and flew itself home."
I am also having an issue where I can't get any further than 80m which is about 250ft. I did a test where I turned off the range extender (as I believe the range extender is only to link the phone to the camera and has nothing to do with controlling the P2V) and anyway I still only reached 80 metres before it lost signal.
I tried the remote controller in FCC and EC mode and this made no difference.
I see you are also having range extender issues (not being able to connect to phantom wireless network) but this sounds like 2 issues one with the 5.8 network not giving any more range than 200 feet and also issue connecting to 2.4 network for camera to iphone.
Does anyone know how to confirm the remote controller is working correctly? Can it be connected directly via usb to DJI Phantom assistant RC app or the DJI Phantom 2 assistant app to have firmware reset or upgraded?
It is really annoying to see that the P2V can fly up to 500m and I am only getting 80m
I'm having the same issue. Keep getting phantom connection broken. Doesn't hold the wifi connection.
I can fly it. But app doesn't work. As soon as it takes off I lose connection. I tried it with multiple devices (iPhone 4s, 5s and 6).
Contacted Dji, the want me to send it to them. Wonder how long that will take to get back.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I've rebinded it. Restarted. Reset. everything.
