I am having all kinds of issues trying to get this extender to link up to my android can you render some assistance? I have tried multiple youtube apptoaches.
There are some instructions on the forum, for me the app showed an error (I guess because the
Tello has no internet connection) but I was able to ignore that and it connected to the
Tello and appeared to work fine, haven't had a chance to test out the range of it yet though from what I heard it's about double.
From memory it goes something like this - you need the Mi Home app, set your location to "Other" or the extender won't show up as a supported device. Power the extender and it should be detected by the app when you try to add it, follow the instructions to set it up, it should ask you what wifi network to use at some point, then it goes through a rather long automatic setup, for me during this part the phone would first connect to the extender, then disconnect from it and connect back to the
Tello directly, and then eventually the app would show an error, but the LED on the extender showed that everything was OK (green LED if I remember correctly, means it's connected to the hotspot), so I connected to it manually after all that and it worked. Some people have said you can't use a password but that seems to be false. However, if you change the wifi password in the
Tello app while it's connected to the extender it seems to screw things up and some people have had to reset their
Tello back to factory settings to be able to connect to it again. I might be forgetting something important, but that's the gist of it.
