    Here you go it will go out over a mile but it doesn’t have enough battery to make it back

    WIFI+S Range Extender vs Xiami WIFI Repeater and Tello Channel choice

    Any repeater takes some time to reconnect because of the Wi-Fi and sometimes you have to go back into the settings and reconnect to that particular Wi-Fi network. However, the camera on the Tello has so much lag that it’s nearly impossible to use it to fly without crashing. If you want to have...

    WIFI+S Range Extender vs Xiami WIFI Repeater and Tello Channel choice

    I use the xiami repeater with 2, 4 watt boosters, 2 biquad antenna, and a 200 mw fpv camera and can get out a mile on flat ground. The signal strength in the fpv goggles acts like a locator when I goes down, otherwise it is gone first time the signal is lost.

    Xiaomi WIFI repeater external antennas mod

    I do put a Marco Polo drone tracker on the Tello because when I fly out over 3000 ft (1K), most times something goes wrong and i have to go get it. I also fly 100 ft high, so the wind is a major factor on it not making it back.

    Xiaomi WIFI repeater external antennas mod

    if you do the antenna mod to the repeater, you can put any antenna you want. A double biquad also works just as well as the 4Hawks. A cloverleaf circular polarized antenna seems to work just as good even though others have reported the Tello antenna is vertical polarized. However, looking at...

    WIFI+S Range Extender vs Xiami WIFI Repeater and Tello Channel choice

    I had a new personal best with my Tello a few months ago at 3,072 feet with the rig in the photos. I am planning to add 2-2watt power boosters to get out to a mile. See this post My personal range record

    My personal range record

    DJI also says the Smart Controller is good fo 4.8 miles, it will vary do 4. I saw Dustin Dunnill do it on his channel. Great channel so I thought I’d try it and it will do it. I also have a Marco Polo tracker just in case. You have to have 0 to no more than 2 mph wind and go out into the wind...

    My personal range record

    I took the insides out of the MI range extender, soldered SMS connectors on the antenna spots on the board ( there are two) soldered an old usb cable for power, put the whole mess in a plastic project, box, added an old 4Hawks antenna I had laying around and now I can easily go out over 1/2 mile...

    Tello PCB and antenna reference, to help fellow crazy modders ;)

    I had a 4Hawks panel antenna laying around and I took the board out of the Mi extender, added SMA connectors to the board, put everything in a project box, and I can get out almost 1/2 mile with no mods to the aircraft.
