I believe they are 14 DBI ,I hope to do some midnight Skunkworkes to night. The wind is light rite now, so if it stays that way I plan on flying.

I steel have my P2, that is a tough bird. I think I have gone throu 4 shells ,2 ESC, 2 Motors.

Did go flying last night. Did not go well, I some how fried the transmitter on the bird. Well I think that is what happend. I lost video signal and went into RTH. Made it back but could not get signal on the goapp. I could start the motors and move the gimboll. My tablet say disconnected. I tried a different cable on the tablet, still disconnected.I had no video.
When I got home , I took the camera off and all cables where good. I took the module for transmit and receiver off ,no loss wires.
I have a P3P for parts so I swapped out the module. Works now. Just need to test fly.

I tell you what I am becoming a P3 expert.

Dig the cable modem does not have antenna's. The router will. You may have a combo modem/ router. It should go cable in to the modem,RJ45 cable comes out and goes to computer or router need to know your setup.

its a combo, its an ARRIS TG862G-CT Wireless gateway. i've found a few articles on hacking the wifi antenna in it and thats what i hope to do.

I'm away from my house. Till tomorrow. I'll look up that model.
Are you hoping to increase your coverage or pickup someone else's signal.

we live in a cul de sac, my mother-in-law lives across the street in the cul de sac and needs wifi. i'm hoping to extend the wifi across the street. i know there are easier ways via a router or a repeater, but this seemed fun :)

Did you find out what cause it to lose power like that.
I have no idea! Battery was fully charged and the externals were balanced and charged... we did another test yesterday and when moving forward and turning left or right its drops altitude. .even if i throttle up while doing it

have you did an IMU calibration. I'm not sure if that does a ECS calibration. It sounds like the ECS boards are not working correctly. and maybe recalibrate the controller too.

Pro did that have any type of slow response. I'm wondering how the data rate is. That may be setup with the transmitter.
