GrindandClick Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi all,Was just wondering if there was a way to boost the wifi range for a drone? The likes of the new Parrot Bebop, and Inspire 1.I'll be using it from a boat at some point and hoped to get extra range, would probably need a way to boost the light bridge as well if possible?As said it'll be from a boat, so can be a big fixed place antenna that uses wall plug type energy if need.Admit I am new, and maybe going any further than the range they already offer is eating into the battery life for being able to return safely anyway, the "PSR"?Just hoped for some knowledge on the matter, many thanks for any wisdom.

Alex97 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Using a WiFi extender. Look on YouTube as there are loads of videos on how to do it and what parts you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindandClick Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Nice one. I thought those extenders were to put in house dead zones, it deterred me as wanted something that could just boost the signal from the source, which I guess you say the ones on youtube do. Will look into it, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshirley001 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 if you are making a diy quad, there are really easy ways of getting loads of range, just not really that legal in the UKi wanna use 433mhz 1000mw for my transmitter, and 800mw 900mhz for the video, with that setup, i should have a good 6-7 mile range if i use decent antennas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindandClick Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was looking at pre-built models, think I'll end up with a Parrot Bebop to begin, then Inspire 1 when the time's right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
