But the advance/pro use lightbridge not wifi, so why would the wifi in neighborhoods effect the adv/pro? I'm so confused....lol

It's not Wifi but it also uses 2.4Ghz frequency just like your Wifi.

Oh ok...so what gives the 5.8ghz greater distance? Are the antennas stronger or something on the advance?

Both of P3A/P's video downlink and RC use 2.4Ghz, which has longer range than 5.8Ghz.

Oh I thought that they just used a more powerful 5.8ghz antenna for the transmitter part

P3S does use 5.8Ghz for its transmitter and 2.4Ghz for video.

So are the two antennas on the advanced tx both for video/rc control? Where the standard has the one antenna in the middle for transmitter and two for wifi? I think I'm getting that right...

That's correct. The 2 video patch antennas are inside the Standard's remote controller. If you look at the front of it, there is a warning about not to cover it.
