Mi app & Mi Repeater

[jam]

I have a problem to say the least. when trying to discover the
repeater it can not be found. I have reinstalled the App several
times. on the first try I once got the 25% loading and never again
and not blue. Now Mi scans and scans but now can't see diddly. When I
tap the repeater symbol it want to connect to the my local wifi. One
time I let it connect to the local wifi and I did get the blue light
but there was not a Tello-plus and it didn't make anything fly better.
Any one ever experience this? Any help will be great. Thanks

Hit the reset button for 10 seconds and try again..

I think you may have missed the first step, which is to name the Tello in the software with a password, then enter this in the step where you connected to local wifi. and keep us posted,,,,,

Yep, as suggested by my upper neighbours you should:

-Reset the drone
-Set a new password, make sure to validate the new password on your screen keyboard, a message saying that the password will be reset after restarting the tello shloud show.
-Reset the repeater
-Turn off the auto connection to your saved wifi
- open the Xiaomi home app
-add a new device ( select in the list if you wish)
- the repeater should show up as detected device
- it will ask you to connect to a wifi network (make sure the Tello is turned on)
-choose the Tello, type your password, the app will start to connect and done

IF the repeater still doesn't show up, try to reset it several times.
when the app tries to connect to the drone sometimes the process will be shown as failed but if you check your available wifi, the repeater may have been connected ... funny things happen you know.

It happend to me this morning and you just do 3 times the same thing, it doesn't work, and at the 4th... tadam.

Good Luck buddy

I also remembered having to set the server as Mainland China, this vid is correct but I had to do the setup many times before I succeeded,. My post of frustration is in here!! so keep at it,,,,,
