No WiFi SSID showing

[Deleted member 62848]

HI Yip rc lights are normal I think it something to do with your WiFi set up,,,,do you have a saved phantom on your device,eg phone,,"phantom3_xxx" 12341234 this is default password which needs to be saved in WiFi networks for phantom to connect if you been connected to this you should have it saved in WiFi, ,,,

Yeh control should go green ,,yellows lights it's waiting to connect through wifi

Sorry I missed this thread until now.

No matter what, With only the remote turned on you should see the WiFi from the remote with any mobile device including a laptop.

Linked, linking, Phantom on or off, registering, registered has nothing to to with remote and its WiFi signal being available.

As @RodPad says, the registering has nothing to do with this.
Out of the box, you should able to turn on the RC and your Android device should see the Phantom's WiFi network.
Here is what I noticed after the few first flights. If I open my Android device's WiFi setup first, and the turn the RC on, the Phantom's WiFi will never show up on my device. Can't say why.
But if I turn my RC on and wait 20 seconds, then open my device's WiFi settings, it will show up every time.

Is that without the remote being on?

Sorry you guys, ive being filming, I missed your replies. I'm getting my last shots now then I'm gonna jump back to troubleshooting this thing. Sad I can't use it for this video

 

[illyrock]

That still didn't work. I'm gonna try a manual firmware update, if that doesnt work, I'll take it hobby shop and let someone take a look at it. I haven't the slightest idea what's going on

Sorry, but I don't understand your question.
The RC I am referring to IS the remote.
(RC = Remote Control)

Have you dropped the controller? I had this issue and I just opened up the controller and found a connection had came undone so i popped it back in and closed up the remote and was good to go.
