Tello Range Extender Setup Tutorial | TP Link N300

TP Link N300 Wifi range extender for the Tello is an alternative to the Xiaomi Mi repeater that is either no longer available or difficult to find. I take you through setup step by step because there are no instructions for this. If you want to get more range out of the Tello, or just improve the video feed, this should do the trick. Find the TP-Link N300 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router here: amzn.to/3gbWEXY or here: amzn.to/329ky3i. Model number is TL-WR802N.

Best tutorial ever.2023 and still going on...Love the Tello, love the quality, for it's money, and your video just made things simplier.Thank you!

[@GadgetInspector]

Hey thanks, what a great comment. Glad it was helpful!

[@jeffersonianbynaturevideos5500]

Just wanted 2 thank you. Bought the extender and wow what a difference. Thx a bunch man, great video and commentary too BTW. U rock!

[@bendaniel6245]

Thanks for the short and sweet ‘how-to’ It may be a year old but it’s still perfect!

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it was helpful!

[@giancarloandrada7227]

iv been looking for this tutorial. thanks a lot. i just got my tp link setup for my tello

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad it helped.

This really helped me man thanks ! Love from Germany

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad to hear that.

[@BuddhaGalz]

Hey wanted to thank you man! I've been going through your whole catalog of Tello vids over the past couple of days and have since bought this repeater and the power bank you recommended in the description to go with my Tello that I'm still waiting for in the mail! I'm so excited to fly and thank you so much helping me with that.

[@GadgetInspector]

So sorry I missed your comment. Glad the videos helped. Hope you’ve been enjoying the Tello. I still have mine and fly it from time to time.

[@BuddhaGalz]

@@GadgetInspector Thanks!! Still use everything thanks to your vids 😊

[@lucrativestance]

Great video man!! Im new to repeaters, just purchased this one, hopefully it works for me. Im trying to use it for my DJI rs2/3 gimbal

[@stephenoja8882]

Your videos on the Tello convinced me to buy one a year ago and I've really been enjoying it ever since. Honestly such a quality drone for the price

[@GadgetInspector]

That’s good to hear Stephen. Glad you’ve enjoyed it. I’m going out to fly mine in a little bit.

[@clcasperjonker1594]

Thanks a million looking forward to fly mine.

Thanks, man! Great help!

[@GadgetInspector]

No problem!

[@jesuscabrea]

Thanks for the video

[@philkennedy342]

Nice work my friend👍 Just got a Tello.. Did exactly the same setup with my parrot bebop 2 to get the range. Thanks for sharing nice intuitive presentation I’d love to know what your findings flying through the repeater👍👍👍

[@Tydyjav1]

I know this little drone can’t do all of the stuff that the much more expensive drones do, but the camera is good enough to see if my gutters need cleaning instead of getting out the ladder. And the hold position is good enough to hover just under a wasp nest and get some laughs.

[@GadgetInspector]

Very true. Such a stable little drone.

[@r.santos4600]

I bought this drone just the other day because my 84 year old dad wants to climb a ladder to inspect his roof. Won't let us do it because "it's too dangerous" 😂

[@ianprice1376]

Fantastic video so easy to follow

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, that's what I like to hear!

[@asdaven1]

Try the AC750 by TP-Link...its similar to this one on the video but a slightly bigger box. Ive tested the N300, the AC750, and the Xiaomi Mi Wifi+. The AC750 is best of the three for range and dropped frames and bitrate. Reason being? The TP Link AC750 is DUAL Band. This means while you cant change the Tello's signal to 5G. You can take the Tello's 2.4GHZ signal into the AC750 and boost and output the signal to 5G to your phone. The repeater/router is going to be closer to your phone than the Tello so 5G is a stronger signal up close. My footage is smoother with this setup. The AC750 is not much more than the N300 on Amazon and setup is very similar to this video except when you select the router in your phones wifi settings to connect, select the 5G wifi signal over the standard 2.4ghz. This application is better in a WiFI RICH environment. In a more rural setting, the two repeaters might have little difference although 5G has faster speeds from the repeater to your phone.

[@horizon42q]

Good information

[@TempleGuitars]

I like your style.

[@GadgetInspector]

Well thank you!

[@asdaven1]

If you use a Wifi extender, it reduces the Tellos dropped frames. And also sometimes you can take the Tello up to 25m and it somehow is able to hold position with enough light and light to no wind. The MiTu couldn't do that. Also, more battery life on the Tello. It is the BEST non-gps drone in my opinion even today. Maybe the HoverAir is better but for the price of a more expensive GPS drone like the DJI Mini 2SE, that HoverAir drone is overpriced unless you produce a lot of videos. The Tello is like a "Budget" HoverAir especially if you employ the TelloMe and TelloFPV apps.

[@GadgetInspector]

👀➡🔥DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE RANGE TEST: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mneZp3-Lg6ahi9E

[@daniel050-G27]

Have a T1s arriving today. Do you have any pointers on set up with the Tello? And will the extender with the T1s cause a problem if using OTG connection?

[@MarcBossYT]

will it work with the tp link archer t4U plus?

[@rlbutterfield]

Well done video, and great explanation. Can’t wait to see your field test vid. Does this wireless router allow you to increase your altitude also?

[@GadgetInspector]

I think it's mainly for horizontal range, but I imagine if you could somehow position the repeater between you and the tello vertically...it might work? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@PM-qp5he]

all right. ill come back after the holiday and if it worked ill give that thumbs up and everything. i wonder if you can set up through your computer instead of your phone. and if you do set up through your phone and it goes wrong im guessing the light will flash red and not green? you said to put the extender between you and the drone which makes sense. how far would be a good distance? 50 yards maybe?

[@karlc9773]

Is this an upgrade on the MI repeater as I have one of those, Is it worth buying one to re place my MI?

[@grantwinn54]

How is it with altitude? The horizontal range is great but I also thinking about the altitude. I saw another youtuber get close to100ft with a Meross extender and a app.

[@TheSAMTHOO]

Hey Gadget Inspector, thanks for the video! I followed your instructions but for some reason I'm not able to connect to the video feed of my tello Please advise :) Thanks!

[@ezequielvega9363]

Do you know if Tello is compatible with other repeaters and if so which one other then the one You made a video with.

[@sampatialvi4749]

Am i be able to go to 30m altitude with stable video and without connection error with this extender?

[@theslushygoldfish]

GREAT VIDEO! You've been very helpful, and have finally convinced me to buy a tello haha. Only thing is, I can't find the TP-Link repeater. Will any repeater work? as long as its USB powered?

[@GadgetInspector]

You can try newegg: www.newegg.com/tp-link-tl-wr802n-ieee-802-11b-g-n/p/N82E16833704245?item=N82E16833704245&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-pc-_-pla-_-network+-+wireless+routers-_-N82E16833704245&gclid=CjwKCAjwoNuGBhA8EiwAFxomA_gtQ3cFlDaeupU5wEGS5HPa2p-IBfM9fLrWz04C8AQib1MyOUIeTBoCgnEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds or even eBay. I'm sure there are other repeaters out there, but since I haven't tested them and not too familiar I wouldn't want to recommend. Hopefully they restock on Amazon soon.

[@theslushygoldfish]

@@GadgetInspector you’re a good man! Thank you!

[@Rewiree]

Does this work with SJRC drones? Has anybody tried out?

[@TheTomygunspartan]

Hi. My name is Vincent from Spain. I have an Idea37 with a 5Ghz wifi. Do you know a wifi repeater like you are showing for my drone? I would like if you could help me. Sorry for my english and a very Big hug from Spain.

[@Hayzie3]

Do you think this would work with the TL-WN821?

[@GadgetInspector]

Not familiar with that one.

[@mdabusiyam]

Would you recommend LYZRC L900 Pro over Tello?

[@GadgetInspector]

Haven't tested that one.

[@calinvlasceanu]

Does it work with any model? i found a tp link n300 with model TL-MR3020

[@GadgetInspector]

Not sure, but in theory, it should be able to link with any drone that emits a 2.4ghz signal.

[@tommyg957]

One thing I have always wondered about the tello is, how long do those tiny brushed motors last, and how easy are they to replace.

[@GadgetInspector]

Mine still has the original motors. Can't say that I fly it everyday, but I only had brushed motors burn out on me one time and that was because I kept doing back to back flights. Usually if I wait 5 minutes or so between flights and let the motors cool down I get pretty good life out of them. Replacements are cheap but you gotta solder. Glad I haven't had to do that.

[@Bergwacht]

I've heard from several KZbinrs who had to exchange them, but I don't know how much flight time they had there. I fly 6 to 12 battery charges every day and I'm a bit afraid that they'll dead after a lot of months. But its okay, they cost nearly nothing and easy to replace.

[@dejaesharp]

Can I do this with my Mini?

[@GadgetInspector]

No need.

[@MrWhiteenglishman]

Hey man.. Awsome tutorial.. If u had the choice.. Mi.. Or TP..?. Many thx

what if you hit the option "clone from root ap" ? while creating link ? Then both networks have the same ssid? how does it work? My TP Link is in the mail today, I'm excited. thanks for the video Buy a cheap selfie stick, attach the TP Link to it and ram it into the ground before flying! ;)

Haha fly to the moon...u make me laugh,anyway great review & guide...tq..i will fly my tello to the moon like u said😄😄😄

[@the_stefo]

Is the range as good as the range with the Mi Repeater 2 or even better?

[@GadgetInspector]

I haven't compared but this is one of the things TP Link specializes in. I would think they are just as good if not better.

[@the_stefo]

@@GadgetInspector Thanks!! Just ordered one!

Can I still fly with a controller if connected with the TP link? 🧐🤷‍♂️

[@GadgetInspector]

I believe so. Most controllers use Bluetooth.

[@TWKfam_STUXN3T]

can you update this video again ? With different / newer one :D ? also , how much distence do you actualy gain ? :D

[@GadgetInspector]

This one is still the best out there IMO. Here's the range test I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mneZp3-Lg6ahi9E. How far would you actually fly a Tello? You can barely see it after 75 feet or so. I'd be afraid to lose it flying super far and it's so light that you wouldn't want to fly it too high as the wind could impede you getting it back. I say grab a GPS drone if you want super long distance. The repeater is intended to give you a better video feed while flying further than the stock config allows.

[@TWKfam_STUXN3T]

@@GadgetInspector tnx for the reply , i did notice the vid cuts out if you go a bit further , i only asked due to fact i couldn't find this one , so i was guessing its same as xiaomi mi 2 , but 30 minutes deep into scrolling i found one !

[@GadgetInspector]

I did a range test in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mneZp3-Lg6ahi9E. Can't remember how far I got but it was definitely far enough where I couldn't really see it anymore. I could have gone further.

[@jeffersonianbynaturevideos5500]

@@GadgetInspector so I'm often getting a wifi interference alert on the tello fpv app... I use a t1s which cable connects to my note 20 ultra so I don't use Bluetooth and phone and watch r in airplane mode. Even where there really isn't much in the way of near by wifi networks. Definitely not high enough I can't see it. I think around 30m...any advice?

[@GadgetInspector]

Not sure how well this will work for altitude because you have to make sure the repeater is always in between you and the Tello. No clue how you'd manage that one. This is mainly to extend distance.

[@hs7ehfheuezdhji]

I tried this one and other 2 different tp link routers. Don't work. Find the signal so slow that the drone overheats or the battery goes empty. Garbage all. I bought the xiaomi that works good and another no name chinese with 2 antennas, that's also okay. Forget these crap routers

My experience with this drone is that without an onboard micro SD DVR these TELLOs are a way overpriced piece of GARBAGE.

Buying this 'extender' is just throwing more good money on top of a bad purchase in the first place. .
