Mavic Air Range Frustration

Go into manual channel mode, select a channel with low inteference.

It's almost as if either your phone is not up to it or the Mavic is faulty because that sort of performance isn't normal. It's about what you'd expect if you were just using the phone WiFi and not the controller to fly the drone?

Have you tried a straightforward wireless connection to the drone without using the DJI app? From memory if you press and hold the button on the rear of the drone (at least I think that step is necessary, I haven't done it for a while) until it beeps multiple times, then the wireless on your phone should be able to see the Mavic's SSD and you can connect to it using the password on the label on the side of the drone...if that doesn't work you might have other problems.

Hello!

So I've tried something out. The wifi doesn't pop up after 2 beeps, but it does after 3.
I've tried flying the drone with just my phone, and the 2.4Ghz connection stays (fairly) stable.
Especially compared to the 5.8Ghz connection (which is weird, since I'm in CE area and most wifi systems at home are on the 2,4Ghz frequency or so I thought).

I did a couple of test runs (on 5,8Ghz), and I was far from happy.
Winds were fairly hard but here's what happend:

Altitude: 20m
Distance: 161m
Problem: "High wind velocity" and crappy video transmition
Bars: 2/4

Altitude: 20m
Distance: 80m
Problem: "High wind velocity" and crappy video transmition
Bars: 3/4

Altitude: 35m
Distance: 136m
Problem: "High wind velocity" and crappy video transmition
Bars: 2/4

From here on, it gets interesting:

Altitude: 35m
Distance: 139m
Problems: "No signal"/grey screen" and "high wind velocity"
Bars: 2/4

Altitude: 35m
Distance: 140m
Problems: "No signal/grey screen and "High wind velocity"
Bars: 2/4

Altitude: 40m
Distance: 0,3m
Problem: "high wind velocity" and "strong aircraft interference" (like right above my house)
Bars: 2/4

Altitude: 40m
Distance: 155m
Problems: "High wind velocity" and "Weak signal: avoid blocking the antennas" and crappy image
Bars: 2/4

Altitude: 40m
Distance: 206m
Problems: "high wind velocity and crappy image"
Bars: 2/4

30 seconds later: "Aircraft disconnected": Image transmission lost. Return home now?

It went back to my house, and the connection re-established itself.
I'm far from happy with this, can anyone tell me what might cause the problem?

PS (edit); According to UAV forecast, the wind conditions were good to fly in:
10m: speed 15km/h, rushes of 19km/h
50m speed 22km/h, rushes 30km/h
