>>>AS OF THE UPCOMING FIRMWARE THIS MOD IS NO LONGER NECESSARY<<<
Also note that modding any file in the SoloLink system means that it won't update when you update the copter. To revert to using the defaults, SSH into both Solo and Controller and do: sololink_config --settings-reset
You will need to re-pair after the settings reset.
Note: @Judicator has automated this process too, the Windows program can be downloaded from here: Solo Tweaker
I've just finished this video today, it's relevant to the latest firmware as well. Amongst other things this allows the Solo to use any pair of channels from 1 to 12, whereas before the mod it is limited to using only channels 6 and 11.
This has increased my range in both congested and non-congested Wi-Fi areas. The cost of doing this mod is exactly $0.00.
The software to download to perform this mod is:
A hackable text editor for the 21st Century
Bitvise SSH Client Download
The IP address of the Solo controller is: 10.1.1.1
The IP address of the Solo is: 10.1.1.10
The username is: root
The password is: TjSDBkAu
The changes to make to the hostapd.conf file are:
acs_num_scans=8
#chanlist=6 11
beacon_int=999
wmm_ac_vi_cwmin=2
wmm_ac_vi_txop_limit=136
wmm_ac_vo_txop_limit=1
disassoc_low_ack=0
The command to run to update the MD5 is:
md5sum /etc/hostapd.conf > /etc/hostapd.conf.md5
