DJI Smart Controller Not Connecting to WiFi Work Around

DJI Smart Controller Not Connecting to WiFi Work Around!

[@OlafDDCSmartinspections]

For everyone experiencing issues connecting to your mobile hotspot, please check if you have WPA2 personal enabled or WPA2/WPA3-personal, not just WPA3, as that most likely won't work.

[@amberbest1989]

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to connect to the internet, but now I do

[@coconuttelegraph321]

Thank you for showing me that the screen is “swipeable” 😊👍🎉 success I’m not connected and could unlock for my flight

[@LifesLaboratory]

I had the same issue. I had no idea that option screen existed!

[@Notdinolove]

thank you so much for this video, I literally had to talk to customer support and watch 2 video in order to figure out that it will only connect to mobile hot spot and not wifi. Now I have to uninstall and install the dji app.

[@kjarl99]

Thank you for doing what DJI doesn't, which is tell you how to connect the RC remote to your wifi network. No where in any of their instructions or videos does it tell you how to access the wifi network setting on the controller. Thanks again.

Thanks for this- literally have my mavic 2 zoom with smart controller and shocked to see it could not connect to my home router! With all due respect this is most definitely an issue with the wifi in the controller as all my home devices can connect to the router no issue. In the end had to tether to my phone to activate. Hopefully the firmware update resolves the wifi connection issues...

[@maxflight777]

A tad verbose ….but useful…thanks

[@mjrootz]

I noticed an Ethernet connector on the controller, seems to me you can just plug your router into that...

[@DungarooTV]

Solution fix: down swipe and go to settings - for some reason, the Wifi is disconnected (although shows on) - click on your Wifi and enter password again, then go back to activation and it should now work perfectly! Looks like a bug!

[@anush7326]

Yep!

[@BRO-vk7oi]

[@ejiroogagah2476]

Thank you

It’s got to a point in society where drone cameras look like phones.

[@JacobGolds]

4 years later with a new DJI RC pro for the mavic 3 pro and still the same issue. Unbelievable. It would connect to my phone's Hotspot but not to the home's wifi

[@kajimakerz8493]

Absolutely terrible. I would just go with the regular controller

[@JacobGolds]

​@@kajimakerz8493and don't forget the lifetime it takes to share little videos from the remote to a phone it takes forever.

[@realtorchrisraines9684]

dude you saved me!

[@OscarAldama]

Hola, a mi me pasaba lo mismo. Pero he ido dentro del menú wifi a la configuración y en el menú "usar wifi en suspensión" cambie a opción "siempre" y ahora ya me funciona bien. Hello, the same thing happened to me. But I have gone inside the wifi menu to the configuration and in the menu "use wifi in sleep" change to option "always" and now it works fine for me.

[@kajimakerz8493]

English?

[@jcw232000]

What kind of Wi-Fi security does it use what do you need to change your router to ? I just changed the settings for my Wi-Fi security and it now works unfortunately my new modem has a more up-to-date security but it doesn’t seem to be compatible with my smart controller

[@Mazdatechsenior]

2019-2021 still happening ?? No update ??

[@AbdulBasit-jz5km]

Lol my problem was that I dint know there was a drop down menu

[@kajimakerz8493]

You swipe down

[@RGRossi0103]

I have the same setup, Asus GT-AX11000 and the Smart Controller. There is a 1-12-2021 update to the Smart Controller Software, version v01.00.0880, that fixes this by providing "local data."

[@kajimakerz8493]

Dang that took 2 years

[@pcysneros]

Still doesn't work for me.. I have to connect to my phone's hot spot all the time

[@Cozydrone]

My screen does not swipe ,I have the new dji air 3,any advice would help😊

[@johngodfrey3427]

hi i have put my smarcontroler back to factory setting canot use it now can youv help john

[@davidfitzpatrick7399]

DJI Mavic 3, some have the password on the front leg but mine doesn't have the wifi password. It was working for about 4 flights and now no connection. Says on the phone connected via the fly app and then another connection says password not correct. when I try to switch it tells me connected to another mobile device. Having no luck.

[@peterdolkens669]

Connect - it fails Turn leave device powered on for a while Turn device off Turn device on - it should automatically be connected, no hotspots or split 2.4/5GHz needed.

[@Shanakadon89]

did work for me thank you

[@MrSwanley]

I kept getting an error when attempting to bind, so I switched the WiFi from a 5GHz connection to 2.4GHz, and then it bound first time.

[@JosephJozwik]

Does this work in an area with no internet?

[@kajimakerz8493]

Yea

[@davidpainn973]

I’m having this same problem……

[@AntonDrugoy]

The same problem

[@jerryfly5237]

Same problème

[@philipchong6273]

Thats why I never update my router firmware. I did it before and my WiFi weight scale, my printer, my webcam, all stop connecting. I roll back and it work again. I dont have a fancy router. I use Tomato firmware. You can use DDR-WRT too.
