WiFi IP range (not getting dhcp from mavic in WiFi mode)

[BorisTheSpider]

Hi,

My phone is glitching and failing to get an IP address via dchp from my mavic, I want to connect with WiFi for use as a ghetto steadicam/gimbal for ground based video.

Can someone please take a look and tell me what IP address and subnet mask the mavic allocates so I can set an appropriate address statically.

Thanks

You can only connect one device at a time to the Mavic. This is to prevent abuse and hijacking mid-flight.

Thanks but you must have misread my post, I was asking what subnet the IP addresses are in.

For anyone else with a similar problem in future, I eventually got allocated an IP of 192.168.2.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Oops, sorry I did. Yes the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You rarely ever find a consumer internet connection with a subnet of something else. Unless it is an enterprise network. So I would really scratch my head if this drone used a different mask.

If it were truly limited to one device it would have a mask of 255.255.255.252

But, it's not standard, and you can technically still connect more than one device with that. You would still have 128 usable hosts.

That mask has 3 available IP's and 2 are reserved leaving 1 available

Whoops, you are right except you have 2 IPs that can be used as hosts, one is the Mavic and the other is the device. Unless you are counting the network address.
