WIFI Range Extender Easy Set Up for Ryze Tello Drone

[@topilot]

After seeing your video on the WiFi range extender, I jumped over to Amazon to order one. Seems like a great deal for $16.00. The little Tello sure is fun to fly and the fact that the video feed is so much better is so much better with the extender makes it worth the price alone. I appreciate all of your training videos and find them very helpful in flying all my drone fleet.

[@D7dronetech]

Yes, to fly outside, the extender is a must. The key with the extender used in the video the ease in setting it up. The other extender made by Xiaomi is so difficult and seems impossible to set up. I'm planning to make another video so you can fly higher, possibly 100 m instead of just 10m! Thanks for your nice comments about my videos. Do you own other drones?

[@topilot]

Yes I fly the Mavic Pro and Spark

[@topilot]

I received the range extender today and did the setup procedure. I now understand that after the initial setup and configuration, you never have to repeat it again and just use the second abbreviated part of your video. Thanks again, it does appear with the extender the video feed to my iPhone is a lot clearer.

I was/am so happy to find this KZbin video. I tried to make it harder than you made it as I tried to follow directions in the box and when the blinking connector lights didn’t fully turn green I was stumped. I should have turned to a KZbin first. I must admit,I tried the other Chinese product and personally, I couldn’t get it to work. Thank you for taking the time to show us your skill with this. I am subscribed to your channel but didn’t see this before. I fly the Tello,Spark,MAVIC Pro and Phantom 3S. I do like to vary flying these machine with the exception of PS3 which is my starter drone and is larger. Again,thanks for a very informative video.

[@D7dronetech]

That’s nice to hear this video was helpful! I have the Mavic Pro too, beast of a drone. Happy flying!

[@butchsalcedo5336]

Does connecting directly to the Tello's WiFi signal, and not from the Repeater while it is on, give you the benefit of an extended range? It is my understanding that you have to connect to the Tello's WiFi signal through the Repeater to get an extended range. Otherwise, being connected directly to the Tello's WiFi, would it not only give you its usual range?

[@D7dronetech]

The repeater gives you the extended range

[@Tactical_Response_Team]

I can't find one in stock anywhere

[@jaredwhite489]

Everyone links to the same range extender but it’s not in stock on Amazon what’s another one somebody can recommend

[@23ambrose1]

Watched your instructional video. It almost looks to easy. I too, have the Xaomi Mi extender, which I can't get to work. Question will the Meross Wireless Repeater work with when using the Gamesir T1d controller?

[@D7dronetech]

23ambrose1 Yes, they won’t interfere with each other. That controller works off of Bluetooth, not WiFi.

[@EloyBroder]

Perhaps you allready know the answer but yes I've one and it work fine.

[@Believer7154]

Hello and thanks for sharing. Great job, keep up the good works. I am new to this what are you plugging the extender into.What is the other device.

[@D7dronetech]

Nice to hear you liked the video, thanks. The other device is a power bank with a USB connector which the extender plugs in to.

[@Kana7782]

This WiFi extender you suggested is mo longer available. Do you suggest something else?

[@EloyBroder]

I agreed with you the xiaomi Mi is not only difficult to setup but when it is up and running the app you have to install on your phone first to make it work it is always running in the background and it wants to have access to your data files ,photos to everything also very fast my phone battery was drained, I didn't like all that so I uninstall it off my phone and got this new extender it works like a champ. Thank for the video I am sure there will be lots of people switching to this new Meross repeater and trashiing the xiomi Mi. Tanks again.

[@illyricvmnostrvm7703]

Hey man I wanted to ask you about a video I saw,there was a guy who connected two wifi extenders. The way he did it was using on otg cable to connect the wifi extender to the tello and basically mounted on top of it. And he also used a wifi extender from his position. Im a rookie and unable to understand how did he do it can you break it down for me. Thank you for your time in advance.

[@1mrstacey53]

Yes, it WOULD be nice to have this extender, but Amazon no longer carries it! I know - WTFrack?! Can you do a tutorial on a Pix-Link LV-EU02? The directions for it are murky, at best! Thanx!

[@swish9067]

Great review any difference in range compared to X2 and certainly looks much easier

[@D7dronetech]

Range is virtually identical. Thanks, and happy flying!

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

Does anyone know if you can boost one of these and get more range than just an extender will provide

[@TheZombieSaints]

seems like this isn't sold anymore, any idea where to get these from nowadays?

[@davestredulinsky]

Nice demo and looks like a useful device. I will be interested to see your range test results. Thanks for sharing.

[@D7dronetech]

Thanks. I'm working on the video now, so will be out in about a week.

[@D7dronetech]

Just posted a test showing the improved range and very clearly the improved live view quality and range. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJucloyfia15qJI

[@WildCaptures]

Will this range extender work with the VISUO Battle Sharks drone? Will the extender connect to unsecured networks that the VISUO transmits?

[@D7dronetech]

If that drone works off of WiFi, then it’s quite possible.

[@EricTobiasPhotography]

Thanks for posting this! I have a question. I bought this range extender and went to through the easy process of setting it up. I am having one issue tho. I follow your instructions starting at the 2 minute mark of your video an I get the solid green light. But after I have been flying for about 30 seconds the light turns red. Im only flying a few feet from me. Does this mean I'm not connected to the extender if the light turns red? I'm still getting the video feed to my phone. thanks an advance for any info you might have!

[@D7dronetech]

Eric Tobias Even with the red light, extender should be working fine. Try detaching the extender from the usb power bank and if your device screen goes blank then you’ll know in fact that repeater was working and connected.

[@peternorman677]

Thanks for this. I just got the repeater and mine does exactly the same thing. I pulled it from the power pack and the screen did indeed go blank. I think I’m good to go.

[@D7dronetech]

Yes, it’s been super easy to use and completely reliable

[@Jvnaasss]

Yes mine got red too. But when I pluck out the screen turns black

[@jasonkeeble8139]

Could you use this on a deeper sonar for fishing?

[@vidjock]

Seems that this wi-fi extender is no longer avaiable on Amazon and I found it on eBay going for $300, what happened!

[@D7dronetech]

Yes, unfortunately sold out, but may come back in stock. However, I did find another seller, bit.ly/tellorangeextender

[@mohammadazizulhaque324]

can i use any wifi-repeater (Mi repeater 2, tp link or others) with wifi-fpv camera only (except any drone) for extending range. Because Tello wifi need password whereas single wifi fpv camera don't need any password. Thank you.

[@D7dronetech]

Yes

[@mohammadazizulhaque324]

@@D7dronetech thank you.

[@samavella8831]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Compared to the Xaomi Mi extender which one gave you the farthest range? Thanks, Sam

[@D7dronetech]

I'll soon have a range test video done, so too early to tell. However, I'm expecting them to be about the same.

[@samavella8831]

Dragon7 thank you.

[@samavella8831]

Dragon7 hi, I ended up buying the same repeater and tried it in the house. I had no problem configuring it and connecting to the Tello, but after flying the Tello for a few minutes the repeater’s indicator light turned red. Is this normal or does it indicate that it’s disconnected and that the Tello is solely relying on its own signal? Thanks....Sam

[@D7dronetech]

Test if it’s connected with the extender by unplugging the extender from the powerbank (of course with the Tello on the ground). If the video on the app goes blank, then you know it was connected to the extender.

[@samavella8831]

Dragon7 Thanks, I’ll give ghost s try. If the Tello is still connected, I’ll reset the repeater and try to reconfigure it again with the Tello. Cheers...Sam

[@RuchiraPrashan]

Great video!! Thanks

[@D7dronetech]

Thanks, nice to hear it was helpful.

[@davepekarek113]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to post this. I too started with the Xaomi Mi and should have gotten the hint when I had to select mainland China for the set up. I spent two hours trying to get it configured and finally did, but while I was doing that I watched your video and ordered the MRE220 you describe. I got it today and it is in fact as simple as you show. I was connected and flying in 10 minutes. I always use videos to help me figure things out and assist in my buying decisions. Too often I get what I need and just move on. I just wanted to take the time to thank you and tell you how much I am glad that you too did not just move on, but took the time to post this. Dave,

[@D7dronetech]

Hi Dave, that is so nice to hear that this video was helpful for you, and certainly makes my day knowing that. Wishing you many happy flights!

[@CreatorJMViD]

Sir how about if there is no internet to connect in tello? Can i still connect to extender

[@D7dronetech]

Doesn’t need Internet at all. The extender improves the signal connectivity between the Tello and the phone/app.

[@hotdon1]

Iam new to this what are you plugging the extender into.What is the other device.

[@8dcphoto]

donald scarlett a usb power bank

[@steff5922]

nice i like this one better

[@tombroszz]

what is the maximum altitube you can go with than extender?i care about high altitube beach photos.

[@D7dronetech]

Altitude is limited by the Tello app, which is 10m. However, there are apps that allow you to increase that limit to 100m.

[@SinPenaNiGl0ria]

Dragon7 Hello friend, you know how I can upload it more than 10 meters high? Thanks

[@ghosttjr2]

SinPenaNiGl0ria search “Tello drone” in the App Store there are two apps that will override the stock 10 meters, but this won’t work if you don’t use a WiFi repeater (the range of your phone alone will not be enough to reach 10 meters +)

[@0Rthx]

can u use regular range extender that plugs into wall if u just wanna fly arround the house?

[@D7dronetech]

Sure!

[@skindoc786]

whats the point of extending range indoors??

[@keitharoo1962]

@@skindoc786 Flying from one end of a house to the other, through doors and around walls, can kill the wifi signal to the drone. Having an extender indoors about halfway across my house keeps constant contact with my drone no matter where I fly it in the house.

[@matth8205]

Hey there great video I got this extender the other day but a few seconds after connecting it to the drone it just shows a red light? I followed all your instructions do you know if I’m doing something wrong or if they have prevented this now in some way ?

[@D7dronetech]

Matt H It should work just fine. Easy way to verify is to disconnect the extender and see if Tello app screen goes blank. If it does, you’ll know it’s working.

[@matth8205]

Dragon7 thanks I’ll try it again and see if it stays connected. Once it’s configured to the Tello I don’t need to do that every time I fly do I?

[@D7dronetech]

Matt H No need to repeat set up.

[@matth8205]

Dragon7 thanks I just tried it on another network and it works fine. For some reason my tello just wont connect to it very strange

[@4Hendo]

Eveything work as shown however, as soon as I open the Tello app the extender light turns red. Any ideas?

[@4Hendo]

I did read the earlier reply that noted the light turned red......same as mine. I did turn the repeater of a got a black screen for about 2 seconds....the the app started working again.....did the app just reconnect to the Tello directly?

[@D7dronetech]

John & Cindy Henderson It probably is in fact connected via the extender. Disconnect the extender from the usb power and see if the Tello app screen goes blank. If it does, you’ll know it was working.

[@4Hendo]

Dragon7 ...I did turn it off and the app screen went black for 2 seconds than came back on. I was wondering if it was working then reconnected without it ....since it was off. Your thoughts?

[@samavella8831]

Mine does the same thing, but the question is “Is this normal behaviour?” To me, the device going from green to red would indicate that it’s disconnected and not a normal behaviour! Thoughts/comments from those of who are experiencing the same behaviour are appreciated.

[@peterkirk287]

How can i connect to the internet as the Meross extender has no internet connection ?

[@D7dronetech]

An internet connection is not needed to fly.

[@peterkirk287]

AT 1.05 you say go the Meross website , but how can you ? As your phone is connected to the repeator

[@user-jg3ly3fr6d]

It's not a website. It's the link that goes into the repeater, which is connected to your phone like you said. You won't be able to go on the internet but you'll be able to go to that "site"/your repeater's configuration.

[@dalebrown6460]

I just set one up and the video feed seems more laggy than just with my phone! I haven't tested the distance outside yet. If it is going to cause the video to be worse than I'm out.

[@D7dronetech]

I believe there's something wrong with your set up or the extender you're using. These wifi extenders without a doubt, help with live view feed quality and range. Check out this range test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJucloyfia15qJI
