Urban areas with lots of WiFi

[Lon Snyder]

How does Solo perform within 300 feet of buildings in densely populated urban areas with lots of wifi? I've read lots of posts that mention wifi interference that makes it appear Solo is greatly affected by wifi routers compared to other UAVs. If wifi interference only reduces Solo's range from thousands of feet to hundreds, it still works for me.

Every environment is unique. You need to get a WiFi scanner and take a look to see how must potential interference is in your area.

Some people have no problems, others see a problem from time to time.

I use WiFi analyzer, just so I know what is happening. You could also just take it slow and try it. As long as you have good GPS, have set a good home point for GPS and your RTH is (verified) to be set correctly, it will just return to home if it loses connection.

I live in a neighborhood with all the WiFi routers you would expect (about a dozen) and have actually never had problems. I got a FPVLR antenna nearly at the same time as Solo however, so that could be part of it.
