I use 640x480 30fps can get to around 400m with it no dramas, it's definatly your phone, go get an iPhone 6 and try

Click to expand...

Same here I was getting 420 meters yesterday without any boosting of signal.

I was going to try the booster but it was cold and I had enough for day.

I use a galaxy tab S 8.4

Took it out yesterday but I was only getting 20 or 30 meters, not sure whats going on. Was working fine a week ago.

Will try again sunday if I get my jobs done and the weather is ok.

I do have vented wifi module.

No one interested in this ??

BTW under no circumstances change the channel to anything higher than 11....

Odd..I've never had this problem before. With one click I'm set!

Faarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk yeah

I finally worked out how to console into the wifi module using a serial cable...
basically if you SSH in and screw it up you need to send wifi module back to DJI to get 'repaired'

Now you can just use serial cable and login and fix the issue yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont' need to use my 'failsale' script anymore!!!

will post up a how to.. It involves chopping up the 6 cable connector that plugs into the wifi module

yeeeehaww very excited.. been planning to try this for a while

its not my 'grand plan' however... thats still coming

Been using 640x480 30fps for a long time, and it works perfectly in my v+ v3. Using ipad air 2 as monitor, and I've gone about 425m alt and 500m distance without issues.

Justin00 I tried and had success ssh in to the phantom and repeater but when I tried to run that line " /etc/config/wireless"
It said as shown below

I don't know what you are trying to as I haven't read this whole thread.
But you can check the permissions on the file by executing "ls -al /etc/config/wireless". You should see the permissions listed first for that file. If it is not executable you can make it that way by executing "chmod 755 /etc/config/wireless". Doubt that is your problem though.

BlackTracer hello[emoji112]
And thanks but I tired that and still no luck what I'm trying to do it to gain access and change some of the wireless settings of the phantom and its repeater but I access to that line "
/etc/config/wireless"

maybe something here can help you?
OpenWrt/wireless – Gateworks
or here:
Wireless configuration [OpenWrt Wiki]
and here:
OpenWrt Wireless FAQ [OpenWrt Wiki]

It looks like it's not a command but a config file that you edit using vi or something similar...not sure what's contained onboard the small distro on the phantom...
so, get to the command line again and type "cat /etc/config/wireless" you will see the current settings and what you may need to change

justin00 · Jan 30, 2016

Yip you are correct its a config file and not an executable.... and yeah 'vi' can open/edit it.

I dont mean this in a bad way but its incredibly easy to brick the wifi module.. woukd suggest people only modify the file and others if they are proficient in linux.

I can provide assistance but as I said its very easy to brick the module e.g if you mispell a setting it might stop the module from loading and then the wifi wont come up and you cant connect/ssh back in to resolve the issue. I do have a failsafe script for dealing with such mistakes but setting it up also requires basic linux experience.

Dont take the above as me not wanting to help.. I just dont want to be responsible for costing people $200 for a new wifi module if they mistype something.

Thanks
