Mavic Air WIFI channels all bad signal

[Craig__1991]

Hi all,

I took my Mavic Air for a flight today, everything went as normal until I took off, just a few metres away and lost signal.

I checked my Wi-Fi channel and it was really bad, so I landed it and swapped to a better channel.

Flew it a few hundred feet away and same again, lost connection!

I then realised all Wi-Fi channels had terrible interference. Bringing it back was a nightmare.

My friend flew his Spark just before with no issues. The flight took place over a beach and sea, nothing notable that would interfere.

Had anyone else had similar issues? I'm yet to try it at a new location.

Thanks

Did you try switching to 5GHz? That's what the spark uses by default and probably why it worked better.

Thanks for your reply!

I used both 2.4 and 5GHz. Tried several channels.

This is the first time in over 90 flights that this has happened.

Also had an issue with the left stick showing input on the left stick when I tough the right stick!

Did you shut down and reboot everything including phone? Sometimes stuff just screws up.

I did, flown it elsewhere, a little better but still the signal isnt great.

Bluetooth on the phone?
Smart watch?
