re: Got a drone awhile back. Just wanted to learn with it.

Drones work on a 2.4 ghz network signal. Have you checked your phone to make sure it is able/set to connect to both 2.4 and 5 ghz networks? It's possible to disable 2.4 network on a phone via the phone's operating system. So if your phone is switched to that setting it would not be able to connect. Many phones will connect to 5ghz networks by default because 5ghz is faster at shorter ranges. Have you tried to connect to the drone (far) away from your home or familiar networks to make sure you aren't getting "interference" from it? There are still lots troubleshooting to be done.

I'll still put my cards on operator error.
