Xiaomi Mi Wifi 2 Repeater Range Extender | Full Setup Tutorial for the Ryze DJI Tello

ALTERNATIVE RANGE EXTENDER: • Tello Range Extender S... . Xiaomi Mi Wifi 2 Repeater Range Extender | Full Setup Tutorial for the Ryze DJI Tello. The Mi wifi repeater range extenders go for about $12. Find it here: amzn.to/2tRTYq7. You can also get it here: goo.gl/nToCnA.👀👀 It unfortunately looks like the Xiaomi Mi repeater is no longer available. I have not used it, but based on the research I've done this one will work as an alternative: amzn.to/3fFMrUq.This is a cheap way to extend the wifi fpv range of your Tello or any drone that uses a 2.4ghz wifi signal. I show you how to setup the Xiaomi Mi Repeater for both the Tello and another 2.4ghz wifi fpv drone in this video. I have been hearing from Android users that these steps work for them as well.
👀LOOK HERE It was just brought to my attention that the Mi Home app has changed slightly. You can still use these steps but some of the screens have changed. You have to click on where it says Home at the top then change your location to Beijing. Go back to the previous screen and select Tap to add a device. Then select Household sec... on the left side and then you’ll see the Mi Repeater 2 on the right. Select that and then this video will take you through the rest.
Find the Tello at the DJI Store: click.dji.com/ACWRzeVMP4HdyMCa...
Here's the video testing the repeater: • DJI Tello with Xiaomi ...
Setup for the Ryze DJI Tello is in the first part of the video and setup for another 2.4ghz quad is towards the end.

HERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE RANGE EXTENDER: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aneUXqN3it2abdU. Just in case you can't find the Xiaomi Mi anymore.

[@Derickandlannyfpv]

Sir this is a king level video ... Thank you!!!!! I'm wondering something to put up a very powerful extender on my house roof will that have the same effect but work better? or can two mi2 be joined? In the area there is alot of interference ... don't get me wrong the mi2 totally changed the video quality for the better... but is it wrong to want more or a fixed home station? Bless D

[@lifehackertips]

1. Connect to Tello and make WiFi password for Tello 2. Connect to WiFi extender 3. When WiFi extender asks what network to extend, choose Tello network

[@Pinonyan]

I know it's old, but this was super helpful. Just bought a Tello ryze and the MI Wi-Fi extender, everything was explained clearly and I'm really happy.

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it helped Joyce!

[@davidlowe5946]

I had despaired of actually getting my Xaiomi repeater working with my Tello. But after watching this (and some diligent work and a whole lot of swearing) I GOT IT WORKING! Thank you!

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Thanks brother, Thanks for this. I had mine for 7 months and needed help setting it up. God bless ya brother and happy flying.

[@GadgetInspector]

You got it. Glad it helps. Lots of trial and error but I finally got it to work.

[@Kingstonhawk]

What was the extended range? Was it more than 20 meters?

[@AlanBathurst]

excellent video th only 1 I have watched that explains exactly how to connect successfully great job

[@GadgetInspector]

Thanks Alan. I'm glad it helped. Surprising how they don't include any instructions.

[@michellem086]

@@GadgetInspector Agree this was the only video that adequately explained the process. The device I got today did include instructions but they're worthless. Thanks so much for this help!!

[@jodymarty3179]

No way i would have figured this out without your video. Killer job. Thanks man.

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it helped.

[@thesoulkeeper31]

Finally someone who can explain every step go the process. Thank you so much. You just gained a follower.

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, I'm glad it helped. Thanks for the sub as well, I appreciate that.

[@GustavoMiglioriniArruda]

Thank you very much for this very detailed tutorial !!!! I've just bought my Tello, but I'm already in love with it !!!!

[@ChristopherSengkey]

Thank you bro, finally my lil tello can fly farther then ever.

[@user-lt1rm3rm8p]

thank you kind sir, for the clear and comprehensive directions. After not using the extender for several years, I wanted to get back into it, and your video was instrumental. Wishing you a blessed new year!

[@GadgetInspector]

Hey thanks! I’m surprised and pleased that this video is still valuable.

[@eacevedo325]

Thank You, a Whole bunch!!! -I was seriously discouraged, trying to get my Xiaomi Mi Wifi 2 extender, watching other "how to" vids, finally, after carefully following your clear direction, I am so very pleased that I had success with making use of the WiFi extender with my Hubsan H216A, Thank you for making this vid, -will follow and looking forward to liking more of your vids! Blessings and Shalom :-)

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it helped, God bless and Shalom!

[@ftl900]

Thanks for making this video!! I watched a different one but it wasn't as well made as yours. I appreciate your time and effort put into making this!!

[@vineyardsaker6195]

Thank you for your explanations, I had a hard time with my Tello and your video solved my problem. Thank you!!

[@BionicRusty]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a Tello and one of these repeaters coming soon. Can’t wait to try it and because of your video I know I’ve got a good chance 😃 Have a great day and keep up the great work.

[@ajinoz1234]

Thanks for the video saved me LOADS of time. I found the only problem was after setup and re connecting for normal use. From another video i found this work every time. 1 power up MI extender. 2 Power up Tello then wait for the BLUE connected led on the MI extender. 3. Select wifi ####_plus on your smartphone. 4 Start Tello app and your away. Thanks again for your time putting this together.

[@Blizofoz45]

Thanks for posting this I don't think I ever would have gotten mine set up if it wasn't for your video.

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@jaycorrao6648]

Thanks for the great video tutorials and reviews they are a pleasure to watch because they are easy to understand. I love my Tello. For it’s size and feature set it is by far the best drone out to date. I picked mine up for $100 and it came well-equipped with the quad, extra props, three batteries, a triple battery charger and other miscellaneous odds and ends. The video though 720p through WiFi is totally acceptable for making family memories and the wide angle photos it takes are simply outstanding. Obviously it’s not equipped to handle much wind but still for its size it’s amazing. I do use the Mi repeater if I am flying in an area larger than my backyard. I try to place the repeater central to where I’ll be flying and stand about 20-30 feet away.

[@GadgetInspector]

Wow, now that was a great deal you got for $100. I usually give away most of my drones once I'm done reviewing them, but I won't ever get rid of this one. Big fan of the Tello. Glad the video was useful.

[@jkartouche]

Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, I really appreciate it!

[@GadgetInspector]

You got it, glad it was useful.

[@bensvideocollection]

Thank you so much! I had read in someone's review on Amazon, that you had the best video for explaining how to set this up. I followed your instructions to the letter and it worked beautifully. Who would have thought it?!! Great job!

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad to hear the steps still works. Xiaomi updated their app since then. Thanks for the feedback!

[@bensvideocollection]

@@GadgetInspector it is a little different but the basic steps still work.

[@1safariman]

Great review and demo I already set mine up way back but will save this to my favourites to jog my memory if I ever need to do it again 👍's up

[@gfp38]

Your video is excellent. I would never had thought to choose China, let alone all the rest of it. You're the best.

[@esuohdica]

Jesus that was complicated!! I needed the help of another video as well, but we got there in the end! Thanks dude

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad you finally got it. Enjoy!

[@nbkdraven]

Thanks for this tutorial. Just got my repeater in today and couldn’t figure it out fully by myself. My daughter is going to love me even more now. Off the subject I can’t wait till my Skydio 2 comes in around April or the second quarter of 2020. GAME CHANGING DRONE!!!

[@GadgetInspector]

Between the Mavic Mini and the Skydio 2 releases, the Skydio is definitely the more intriguing drone. Glad the tutorial helped on the Tello. Still my favorite little drone.

[@rjamian]

Thank you for a very clear explanation,I had done it 6 months ago and somehow it needed to be reloaded again and not remembering the steps.So all works fine now.

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@craigschumacher7544]

This video is stored in my library and once again proved helped me fix my inadvertent password mistake.

[@beachcomberflotsam1673]

Very good. I have a little different repeater but your video cleared the way for me to “get it” ! Thank you

[@GadgetInspector]

You're welcome!

[@hkitm]

Thanks to this tutorial, I got it to work! (The 1st time I did the copy step, the light didn't turn blue but the 2nd time it did!)

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, that's just what I want to hear.

[@ianraycanoygarcia]

I have seen several videos on how to connect the wifi extender to the Tello, and they're all quite difficult to understand. Perhaps, it's in the way on how they present it. But yours, it's all as clear as crystal. Thanks, Gadget Inspector!

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad to hear that; that's exactly why I make these kind of videos. Thanks for the feedback.

[@DiscoveryOwners]

Thanks for your great videos on gadgets, too! I had one major problem with the Xaiomi I want to let you and your subscribers know about. I wasted several hours, nothing seemed to work. Bottom line, I was trying to get this configured at my desk...right below my TP-Link router. It’s string RF signal was overloading the receive side of the Xaiomi. I moved everything to another location and everything went flawlessly. Wish you were my neighbor! Needless to say, I subscribed.

[@GadgetInspector]

Thanks for the sub Bob and glad the video was helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisdehoedt1982]

Hi, I found this tutorial very useful. However it took about an hour to work out how to add a device in the Mi Home app. I finally discovered that you have to click the + sign at the top right of the page when you are in the room home page . . . Thanks Chris

[@joncarlson475]

Okay, This worked. I got my range extender in the mail yesterday from eBay. I used this video for the set up. It wasn't easy and after about 90 min last night I gave up. Today with a fresh mind I got it. And like you said once set up you don't have to do it again. It works great and my signal bars and video transmission are much improved. Tomorrow I will add my Gamesir T1d controller to the mix. and test it further. I used an Samsung S7 Phone, one thing in your video that caused me some initial confusion was that you stated you were using an Apple phone. (I just ignored that part and proceeded with your instructions.) Thank You for this video.

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it worked for you.

[@davidlowe5946]

Thanks for the great video. Now that my tello is set up it works with both the Tello and the Tello FPV apps. I've been to 99 feet and STILL have my Tello in one piece!

[@GadgetInspector]

Whoa, sounds like you like to live dangerously 😂. Glad you got it all setup.

I live in Brasil, São Paulo. I become your fan and Yesterday i get my new Tello. Your're great person!! Thank you for help me choice the best one for me. God bless you!!

[@GadgetInspector]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@Truangel777]

Hi GI...still relevant and excellent video in June 2020! Going straight to buy you a coffee for the time I KNOW this video saved me. Thankgiving for the wise counsel. Peace.

[@GadgetInspector]

I got it my friend...blown away by your generosity. Thank you so much. God bless you.

[@jclust]

Good thing you did it the 2nd time you explain you had to connect to quad first before you do the connection to the xiomi app...Thanks great video..

[@Seerwealth]

OUTSTANDING lecture. Be Blessed.

[@quartelli]

Thank you for this, excellent explanation on how to connect even with the new Mi firmware I managed to figure it out. Thank you so much.

[@GadgetInspector]

You're welcome!

[@shanecinfo7415]

On Android and got stuck setting it up in Mi Home, connected to my Tello but it kept timing out and wouldn't go any further. Noticed my light was blue and checked my connects and had a Tello_Plus, and it worked fine! Skipped quite a few steps, somehow it connected everything itself, but I'm okay with that! Great video dude!

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad you got it worked out.

[@myskyviews]

Awesome thanks, I was able to set mine up following the instructions, now just need to do some range testing as I was only testing it at home.

[@GadgetInspector]

Great to hear! Glad it helped.

[@SkunkWorks2001]

Thank for you absolutely perfect instructions. I've been struggling with this for awhile and thanks to you, I was successful :)

[@GadgetInspector]

Excellent...glad it helped.

Very good info. Waiting for the same repeater to arrive and will certainly use your guide. Thanks 👍

[@GadgetInspector]

Thanks Glenn.

[@nickandersonco]

You're the man! Thanks for the help.

[@RRLouis]

Thanks Gadget Inspector for this video to set up the repeater! Only KZbin video that explains it so well that it actually was easy! You asked the question about not having to enter a password when re-assigning a non-hyphenated name to your Tello: Well, after I typed in my new name for the Tello, I pressed into the password field and a blinking cursor appeared, but I didn't type anything, I just hit OK. A dialog came up asking me if I wanted to use a null password, and I said OK! That was that. After rebooting my Tello, the correct name came up in my WiFi choices and all was good!

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome! That's just what I wanted to know. Thanks for sharing.

[@Angel-jh8fu]

Hello mate! Thanks a lot for the video. It was really helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it. I couldn't find any other useful way to set up my devices. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work

[@GadgetInspector]

Awesome, glad it was helpful.

[@almeisam]

Thanks for the tutorial. It took several tries to get it to take the password when connecting to the -plus repeater, but once it did, it worked.

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad it helped.

My Galaxy 5s didn't need a password. I got the plus on the reboot and my FPV is much smoother. I ran my route through the kitchen 3 times in a row without crashing. TY man Love your stuff..

[@GadgetInspector]

Yeah I've heard from a few guys that they didn't have to do all of the steps. Glad you got it going.

[@benherr2736]

Thanks so much for this great "How To Video" I followed right along and all is well. I did look at a few other charnels that did the usual "Just plug it in and turn it on BS" to no avail, what a surprise. Ii really apricate your time and effort to make this stuff understandable. Ben Herr

[@GadgetInspector]

Glad to hear that Ben...that's exactly why I make these kinds of videos. If I have trouble with something and I can't find good info on it, I know others are in the same boat. Thanks for the feedback.

[@xyZ846]

Thanks bro..it still works..😊😊

[@solarfry]

It’s a RANGE extender. You place it 100 to 150 from you and it extends your range another 150’. If you place it next to you, you get minimal benefit. You get 100 to 150’ depending on wi fi range. You check range with cellphone so as not to risk your Tello.

[@audigit]

Thank you sooo much. You have a voice for radio, and radio we all need to do this. Thanks.

Thanks for this man :) just curious how much battery does the extender use? Barely any? Because I was thinking of buying a mini powerbank so I can fit it all in my small case with the drone. Chers

[@GadgetInspector]

It uses very little power at all. Every time I've used mine I don't think my powerbank dropped one charge level even after several flights.
