The
Product Name
option can be used to edit the name of how the MiniDrone
will be seen by your smartphone and other Wi-Fi devices. The name change will
take effect once the MiniDrone has been restarted.
The MiniDrone network name can only contain numbers, letters and underscores
("_"). It must not exceed 32 characters in length.
Check in your smartphone's instruction manual (or technical specifications) to see if
it supports connections to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth. If this is not the case, use
only the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.
The 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth generally obtains the best performance for the
MiniDrone, especially fro video feedback, whereas the 2.4 GHz bandwidth is more
congested.
The
Choose Your Country
field lets you select which country you are in.
Activate the
Outdoors
option if you are using the MiniDrone outside. Deactivate
this option if you are using it indoors.
Depending on the mode (indoors or outdoors) and the country selected, not all
choices may be available. In some countries, for example, it is not permitted to use
the 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth outdoors.
In automatic mode, FreeFlight3 automatically selects a channel depending on the
country, mode (indoors or outdoors), the Wi-Fi bandwidth selected, and channel
congestion. If you notice a problem with the quality of your Wi-Fi connection:
1. Select
Manual
mode.
2. Choose a channel that is not overloaded by referring to the information
displayed in the diagram: each curve represents an access point and the height
of the curve represents the strength of the signal. Therefore, you should opt for
a channel where you see no curves or one which has a weak signal strength.
