Solo Not Connected to App/Wi-Fi after multiple failed attempts

[jwrae]

Sorry for the double post, mods. Didn't realize I posted in the wrong section. ---


I was gifted the Solo by my brother and cannot get the Solo App to recognize that my phone is connected to the Solo's Wi-Fi.

I've tried multiple times to restart/redownload/reset my Wi-Fi connection to the controller/Solo, but nothing seems to work.

I went through and did a Factory Reset, Paired the Controller, and have downloaded the "First-Flight Update", but the App will not connect to the controller to transmit the Update to the hardware there (Stuck at step #3).

Any suggestions on what I may be doing incorrectly, or ways to troubleshoot this?

Many follow a start-up sequence to get all the components handshaking properly. Myself, I start Solo to tone, then the controller to "connected to Solo" and then start the app. Seems to work for my initial startup. Changing batteries thereafter, I just reboot Solo.

As well, back when, sometimes the controller will hang up. Unplug the battery on the controller for a few seconds then reinstall, reboot controller...

Since you reset Solo, don't forget to perform a level calibration.
