Tried to set up my new mini 5 this morning and can’t get it activated.
Says network not available.

Make sure YOUR Network is running without a hitch..... check all APP permissions.....Find a new Network, This could very well be a problem on DJIs side too..... Wait some and try agian...Try a new Network. NO VPN's.

If you're using a DJI remote controller with a screen, swipe down from the very top of the screen and verify that it's connected to your local network.

If using a mobile device running DJI Fly, like an iPhone, make sure that mobile device is connected to your local network.

It was happening to me as well. I used my phone as a hotspot at it worked!

Island Guy, did you sign up for an account with DJI before hand? This can be done from your home computer, tablet, etc.

Actually I had thought I had signed up for an account but I kept getting the message that my password was wrong. I asked for a reset and got the message that an email had been sent to reset but I never received it. Finally I just started from scratch and set up a new account. Then I was able to activate. At 75 I usually manage ok on technical stuff for an old guy but once in a while I struggle.

you're not old. I am 87 and just set up my mini 5 pro following the promts. The important thing was to have a DJI account , user name and password. I am "so so" on this tech.

Did you select the proper time zone? If you don't, you can't connect. Well, at least I couldn't.
