If you only power on the extender and not the Phantom (even if its not binded yet) it will not broadcast. I couldn't understand why this was necessary, but my experience showed me it was. I later realized that the Phantom actually has to be turned on and establish a communication path with the extender before the extender will broadcast this SSID to your wifi device/smartphone. Never throw away the original box!ģ) Initially I thought there was something wrong with my 2nd extender because it wasn't broadcasting an SSID to my iPad or iPhone. NOT the QR code on the back of the extender!!! Scan the QR code from the original box of the phantom for which you are binding the extender. I believe the latter is more probable but others feel free to chime in if you know for certain as i'm curious.Ģ) To bind the extender you need to scan the QR code. Either the phantom recognizes two different extenders from the previous bindings, or the extender itself stores the binding info. This requires me to have two extenders (one modified) that I can swap out between flights and fly the same route under nearly identical conditions.Īfter binding my second extender I came across some interesting revelations.ġ) No need to rebind the extender when switching between extenders. I want the tests to be fair and legit, so I wanted to do them back to back at the same location under the same conditions.
Dji phantom 3 wifi extender upgrade#
My purpose for the second range extender is to do some testing between a modified extender with the Stage 2 antenna upgrade from FPVLR and the stock extender with no upgrade and also with/without booster app.


For folks looking to bind a second range extender, i thought this info might be useful based on my own experience.
