Well I submitted the issue to DJI but then I returned the PV+. Hadn't flown it or even put the props on yet. I would suggest that for any new PV owners, before the first flight do a wifi check by walking away from it and make sure you're getting a good signal from a distance.

Thanks, I haven't tried an older app although the tech support guy did say that the iOS version is lagging behind the Android due to it being stuck in Apple's approval queue. So maybe I'll give that a shot, if I can find it. Although if someone else wanted to take a wifi scanner to their...

Yeah, I agree that it's flaky Phantom wifi. I used a wifi scanner where it lost a connection (60 or so feet) and the RSSI between my phone and the range extender was quite good. But the app was still showing loss of signal and/or the loss of connection message at 60 or so feet. This was with the...

Do you have a new PV+ by any chance, that were just shipped in the recent batch?

I like to think there are only stupid answers, not stupid questions! I really wish it was a RTFM situation like that, but sadly no, I've been carrying the transmitter with me and just was doing a check before my first flight.

Well, spoke to DJI Tech Support and really the only thing it came to was to reinstall the app on my iPhone and try another device. My iPhone is pretty new and works totally fine with wifi on everything else, but I'll try a 4 in any case. If I turn on only the Phantom and scan for wifi signals...

Yeah, I get the "lost connection" sign on my iphone the second I walk about 50 feet away and everything goes to b/w -- no data or anything is coming through. Tried rebinding per the instructions, still the same. Updated the firmware on the PV+, still the same (this was new out of the box, so...

I guess a better question would be -- should I be able to walk more than 50 feet with my PV+ sitting while its sitting on the ground and still maintain wifi connectivity under normal conditions? I certainly cannot...

Thanks a lot, appreciate your response! Just tried the rebind and still it loses connection at 50 feet while on the ground and facing it. Since I'm a noob I'm pretty leery about flying it with the wifi being dodgy as it seems to be. Does your green system light on the range extender do a...

Hello everyone, First time with my Phantom 2+ here after learning on a Syma X1 and hours spent in Heli-X. Doing preflight checks of everything this morning in a big open field... If I walk about 50 feet from my Phantom (always facing it) it loses wifi connection to my Iphone 5s. It will do...
