Just bought a bebop and I am liking all the mods I have found so far. This is a nice easy one to start. Thank you for posting. 😊

Hi I have just come back to Drone Flying I have a Bebot 2 I found this very interesting and a nice attitude video and what I was looking for thanks 4 sharing it Troy

[josephnaara]

Thank you my friend for the info I'm going to try it out

[joecandor]

Why do you sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger? I'll be-BOP!!!

I always have disconnect issues when using my iphone 6s as well and its even plugged into the skycontroller 2 with airplane mode on. Must be an iphone thing. Almost never have that problem with my lg

Nice video i bought the same extender, I don't really fly that far but the other day i figured WTH. So i flew 450 meters . not bad for a flypad and the extender :)

Nice video and instructions !!! Thank you

Nice video man, thanks for sharing. I just bought the same wifi extender. So have you tested out the maximum distance of it yet? I was able to get my Xiaomi Wifi extender with Iphone 6 Plus about 430 Meters away before the signal finally cut out and the Bebop 2 initiated the return to home function. I'm hopeful this wifi extender will be even stronger, so I'll be testing it out this week!

I have one but range is limited with phone so I may use your method of WiFi repeater, but I would need a 5.8ghz version

[ricpla]

Ok you’re flying with no other wifi interference, what about in an urban area

[dimagass]

Hey mad great video and I plan on getting one because I am selling my bebop to a good friend and the drone is a great drone but the problem I had was also the fact that mine could go less than 20 meters away before it disconnected and one time it did return to home and the gps was messed up because it almost flew into the pond but that scared me I also don't think it is worth it for the controller

[TheMobileLocksmith]

What sort of power output is this gadget? Do you know? And is this worth using with a Skycontroller? Interesting video though :)

[CamiloSerna]

sorry i have a bebop 1 and wifi+ and when i dot the scan for the networks don't recognize the bebop and don't know what to do

[matthewjbauer]

The only reason to do this "hack" would be that the WiFi output on the extender is much greater than that of the WiFi on a standard AC/N phone. I doubt you'd get much better range actually for 2 reasons.
1) The BeBop WiFi is limited distance (on purpose)
2) If you got increased range, you'd be out of line of site and possibly in the range of choppy video signal (if you took it far enough).

Is a netgear wireless-N duel band, the same thing as what you are useing? Or can I use that to boost my WiFi?
It’s what I use to stick in my laptop to get better signal.

Did you know how much distance you can reach with the Wifi Extender and if the XIAOMI MI is better or not than this wifi extender that you tried.
