Rc signal seems weak

[WreakingHavoc]

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the whole drone hobby. I did tons of research ono-one before purchasing my first drone which of course was the mavic pro fly more bundle. I've been flying it for about a week now and I can't seem to get the drone to stretch out more than 2200 feet before I almost completely lose signal. I've see tons of posts and videos of people who have gotten way further than this and 2200 feet is basically a walk in the park. Any ideas of the reason I'm not getting good distance or any idea on how to fix/ improve this? Is it user error? Thank you in advance for the helpful information.

Where are you flying? If its an urban area then your distance will be limited as opposed to someone whose flying over farm land or water. Trees or buildings can diminish the signal transmission also.

I live out near the country in some apartments. When I'm in the back of the apartments out by the open field I seem to get the furthest but it still seems like only 2200 feet. I went to a park and flew what I thought was an open field over water and maybe a few trees and I got a strong wireless interference warning. 2000 feet is still awesome to see I just don't know if it's performing correctly. I've changed a few times how I have the antenna set up. I see to have it at a 90 degree angle. I had it at 45 and though that it was better. I will continue to test with different locations and read up on more forums
