Try not to laugh. FYI, I tried 2.4G vs 5.8G and found that 2.4G signal drop rapidly while 5.8 G was much more stable. I flew in a very wide area, nothing within 500 m. radius.

Yes I understand your point,  but how can the app show Wi-Fi interference in a place that is kilometers from civilization with no cellphone signal no antenna nothing....Dji tricked us Wi-Fi shows random results that are no real... I will speak with a layer....

I also think that this violates the CE standards so I will sent a letter to this authority in Europe...

To be honest, I doubt that dji would go to the trouble of faking wifi signals.  I am guessing that there is another explanation, hidden in the environment.

I know that there are two channels in use when using wifi, phone to rc and rc to craft.  There could be more.  Just a guess, but some of the latest autos have built in wifi.

Can you post a screenshot of the report?

i think the way wireless signal works is magic..  i tried to study and apply RF theory to my flight.. i always come up with more questions than answers..  i simply think its like magnetics..  just magic, only way i can honestly explain it..

joking aside though, i have had it happen with my mavic pro a few times too.. probably the environment.  its very inconsistent when it happens..  sometimes ill get a massive lag spike and drop in signal sometimes i just drop bunch of signal, other times make same pass only seconds later and full signal..

Not picture taken here is the coordinates of the location 37.075160, 22.295698 .Not even cellphone has signal .Wifi analyzer pro shows nothing also....I am pretty sure that this is just random wifi interference so dji can justify signal loss or weak image due to a bigger problem that lies in spark itself ....

Yes - they are out to trick us.
Talk to a 'layer' and see what they say.

You always must look out.....they are watching us....always

Could you make a screenshot of the app showing the interferenxe?

Please check if you switched on the Bluetooth or you had worn a watch at that time. Bluetooth would be a strong interference to the WiFi signal. Or please try to fly in another place, if the problem persists in many different places, please provide us with a screenshot of the WiFi Settings, thank you.

Could we please have an official cable connection available between the controller and Go4 device?  I don't know why it wasn't offered from the outset.  If controller and phone are cable connected you can just put the phone into Airplane mode and I'm sure a lot of these problems will just go away.  Seems crazy to be using a wireless link when the devices are actually touching.

My first two flights - I had terrible signal loss and lots of errors - I thought there was a defect - but then I remembered another flyer suggested you go Airplane mode and enable WIFI only (on your phone) - this completely fixed it - massive improvement - the third battery flight was flawless.
