Sir this is a king level video ... Thank you!!!!! I'm wondering something to put up a very powerful extender on my house roof will that have the same effect but work better? or can two mi2 be joined? In the area there is alot of interference ... don't get me wrong the mi2 totally changed the video quality for the better... but is it wrong to want more or a fixed home station? Bless D
It unfortunately looks like the Xiaomi Mi repeater is no longer available. I have not used it, but based on the research I've done this one will work as an alternative: amzn.to/3fFMrUq. If enough people like and/or respond to this comment I'll go ahead and do a setup tutorial.
I had despaired of actually getting my Xaiomi repeater working with my Tello. But after watching this (and some diligent work and a whole lot of swearing) I GOT IT WORKING! Thank you!
1. Connect to Tello and make WiFi password for Tello 2. Connect to WiFi extender 3. When WiFi extender asks what network to extend, choose Tello network
@@GadgetInspector Agree this was the only video that adequately explained the process. The device I got today did include instructions but they're worthless. Thanks so much for this help!!
I have probably watched ten or more videos on this extender setup and YOURS is the ONLY ONE that got the job done! Expertly explained ... clear concise and no BS. THANK YOU!!!
I know it's old, but this was super helpful. Just bought a Tello ryze and the MI Wi-Fi extender, everything was explained clearly and I'm really happy.
On Android and got stuck setting it up in Mi Home, connected to my Tello but it kept timing out and wouldn't go any further. Noticed my light was blue and checked my connects and had a Tello_Plus, and it worked fine! Skipped quite a few steps, somehow it connected everything itself, but I'm okay with that! Great video dude!
I'll try to provide updates in the comments as folks let me know about them. Xiaomi has updated this app a few times since I made this video, so some things have changed. Please check the comments below for updates. A couple of viewers have been getting errors even though the connection was successful, so as long as you see a blue light you know the repeater is connected even if the app gives an error.
It’s a RANGE extender. You place it 100 to 150 from you and it extends your range another 150’. If you place it next to you, you get minimal benefit. You get 100 to 150’ depending on wi fi range. You check range with cellphone so as not to risk your Tello.
My Galaxy 5s didn't need a password. I got the plus on the reboot and my FPV is much smoother. I ran my route through the kitchen 3 times in a row without crashing. TY man Love your stuff..
Okay, This worked. I got my range extender in the mail yesterday from eBay. I used this video for the set up. It wasn't easy and after about 90 min last night I gave up. Today with a fresh mind I got it. And like you said once set up you don't have to do it again. It works great and my signal bars and video transmission are much improved. Tomorrow I will add my Gamesir T1d controller to the mix. and test it further. I used an Samsung S7 Phone, one thing in your video that caused me some initial confusion was that you stated you were using an Apple phone. (I just ignored that part and proceeded with your instructions.) Thank You for this video.
Hi, I found this tutorial very useful. However it took about an hour to work out how to add a device in the Mi Home app. I finally discovered that you have to click the + sign at the top right of the page when you are in the room home page . . . Thanks Chris
Got it to work (eventually) but it's worth noting that the app shows an error once it's copied the Tello signal. My app said that it was "out of range." If you go back once you've received this message then all works fine. As soon as you see the solid blue light and the Tello_Plus wifi is available then it's worked
thank you kind sir, for the clear and comprehensive directions. After not using the extender for several years, I wanted to get back into it, and your video was instrumental. Wishing you a blessed new year!
Thanks for the great video. Now that my tello is set up it works with both the Tello and the Tello FPV apps. I've been to 99 feet and STILL have my Tello in one piece!
Thanks for the video saved me LOADS of time. I found the only problem was after setup and re connecting for normal use. From another video i found this work every time. 1 power up MI extender. 2 Power up Tello then wait for the BLUE connected led on the MI extender. 3. Select wifi ####_plus on your smartphone. 4 Start Tello app and your away. Thanks again for your time putting this together.
Thanks for the great video tutorials and reviews they are a pleasure to watch because they are easy to understand. I love my Tello. For it’s size and feature set it is by far the best drone out to date. I picked mine up for $100 and it came well-equipped with the quad, extra props, three batteries, a triple battery charger and other miscellaneous odds and ends. The video though 720p through WiFi is totally acceptable for making family memories and the wide angle photos it takes are simply outstanding. Obviously it’s not equipped to handle much wind but still for its size it’s amazing. I do use the Mi repeater if I am flying in an area larger than my backyard. I try to place the repeater central to where I’ll be flying and stand about 20-30 feet away.
Wow, now that was a great deal you got for $100. I usually give away most of my drones once I'm done reviewing them, but I won't ever get rid of this one. Big fan of the Tello. Glad the video was useful.
Thank You, a Whole bunch!!! -I was seriously discouraged, trying to get my Xiaomi Mi Wifi 2 extender, watching other "how to" vids, finally, after carefully following your clear direction, I am so very pleased that I had success with making use of the WiFi extender with my Hubsan H216A, Thank you for making this vid, -will follow and looking forward to liking more of your vids! Blessings and Shalom :-)
I have seen several videos on how to connect the wifi extender to the Tello, and they're all quite difficult to understand. Perhaps, it's in the way on how they present it. But yours, it's all as clear as crystal. Thanks, Gadget Inspector!
Tip I found out for better video, when connected to the Tello dont connect to wifi first. First open the Tello app and click on connect and it will open WiFi and connect. I use the same repeater. I have been getting better video quality by opening the app first after plunging in the booster cut the Tello on then open app and go from there much less dropp out with the video. Great video keep it it up.
I live in Brasil, São Paulo. I become your fan and Yesterday i get my new Tello. Your're great person!! Thank you for help me choice the best one for me. God bless you!!
Thanks for this tutorial. Just got my repeater in today and couldn’t figure it out fully by myself. My daughter is going to love me even more now. Off the subject I can’t wait till my Skydio 2 comes in around April or the second quarter of 2020. GAME CHANGING DRONE!!!
Between the Mavic Mini and the Skydio 2 releases, the Skydio is definitely the more intriguing drone. Glad the tutorial helped on the Tello. Still my favorite little drone.
Thank you for a very clear explanation,I had done it 6 months ago and somehow it needed to be reloaded again and not remembering the steps.So all works fine now.
Thanks for your great videos on gadgets, too! I had one major problem with the Xaiomi I want to let you and your subscribers know about. I wasted several hours, nothing seemed to work. Bottom line, I was trying to get this configured at my desk...right below my TP-Link router. It’s string RF signal was overloading the receive side of the Xaiomi. I moved everything to another location and everything went flawlessly. Wish you were my neighbor! Needless to say, I subscribed.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a Tello and one of these repeaters coming soon. Can’t wait to try it and because of your video I know I’ve got a good chance 😃 Have a great day and keep up the great work.
👀LOOK HERE It was just brought to my attention that the Mi Home app has changed slightly. You can still use these steps but some of the screens have changed. You have to click on where it says Home at the top then change your location to Beijing. Go back to the previous screen and select Tap to add a device. Then select Household sec... on the left side and then you’ll see the Mi Repeater 2 on the right. Select that and then this video will take you through the rest.
Gadget Inspector The app wouldn’t allow me to use my email address to register although the option was there. It repeatedly told me: “not available (indistinct)” ...so after about 15 mins trying, I have up and used my telephone number, and it worked. On another note, do I have to go through the whole - same - procedure before then setting up a controller to use with the Tello instead of my iPhone?
So I get to the part where in Mi Home I choose the wi-fi I want it to extend, and I choose my Tello. I click next, and it goes through the following steps: Connecting device, Sending message to device, Connecting device to network. I cant get it to connect to the network, that part always times out and then I cant carry on with the set-up. It just asks for me to try again. EDIT: Ok so this is because there is no internet access. If you just close the app (ignore it saying you'll be cancelling the setup if this appears) then it actually does work. Right now I'm connected to the drone through the extender. Now just gotta test the range increase :P
@@MrEye4get i kep ttrying and made sure the phone didnt connect to another wifi. in the end it said failed but the repeater showing a blue light and it worked!
🔴This was most helpful. Thank you! Otherwise to understand the complex Chinese software is a big irritation. Like anything from China, the hardware is good, software sucks. Simple straight explanation in the video helped a lot.
@@GadgetInspector yea..surely they could do this if they wanted. Maybe they are frowned upon by their peers if they cater to the Americans too much..don't get it. So many other Chinese products with great support.
Thank you so much! I had read in someone's review on Amazon, that you had the best video for explaining how to set this up. I followed your instructions to the letter and it worked beautifully. Who would have thought it?!! Great job!
Thanks Gadget Inspector for this video to set up the repeater! Only UA-cam video that explains it so well that it actually was easy! You asked the question about not having to enter a password when re-assigning a non-hyphenated name to your Tello: Well, after I typed in my new name for the Tello, I pressed into the password field and a blinking cursor appeared, but I didn't type anything, I just hit OK. A dialog came up asking me if I wanted to use a null password, and I said OK! That was that. After rebooting my Tello, the correct name came up in my WiFi choices and all was good!
Hi, you said that this wifi repeater was able to work with other drones, but my drone the Holystone HS110D has no password and because of that the Mi Home app wont let me connect to it. Do you have any idea how to fix this issue please?
Hi GI...still relevant and excellent video in June 2020! Going straight to buy you a coffee for the time I KNOW this video saved me. Thankgiving for the wise counsel. Peace.
first off, great video, got mine working, but didn’t extend range or make anything better infact it made the rage shorter, so far my tello has been a complete waste of money sadly, should of got a spark
I'm brand new at this... so my question is - what do you do with the wifi repeater now? Does it hook into/onto the transmitter? Nice video. Very seldom is much said about the 2.4/5.8 wifi signals and knowing which phone had which signal to work with the FPV camera feed. Thanks for sharing.
I usually just place it on the ground or if there's a table next to me. I angle the repeater so that it's facing the direction I'm flying the Tello. I did a test flight a while ago here: ua-cam.com/video/gxOUK3c0bIE/v-deo.html
Good job! Some screens were different in the mi home app on my phone (android S9), but essentially the same. Followed your set up and all is well. Thanks.
good tutorial, just an FYI for people with the DJI spark the Mi 2 will never actually connect to 100%. The app will always time out. It will still clone your settings but it won't offically work. Its annoying because it works but you will not be able to change it to wifi repeater mode in the app
Thanks! Your instructions still apply today (7/2019) with the most recent hardware mifi2, mi home app, and up to date Tello firmware. Note I selected “China” as my location not Mainland China or Beijing. I did use a password on my TELLO WiFi.
Thanks for this. Messed up the password connecting to the Tello. To reset the drone. turn it on, hold the on button for 5-8 secs until lights go off. That should reset the drone allowing you to try and do the password again.
Thanks so much for this great "How To Video" I followed right along and all is well. I did look at a few other charnels that did the usual "Just plug it in and turn it on BS" to no avail, what a surprise. Ii really apricate your time and effort to make this stuff understandable. Ben Herr
Glad to hear that Ben...that's exactly why I make these kinds of videos. If I have trouble with something and I can't find good info on it, I know others are in the same boat. Thanks for the feedback.
I have a holystone hs720 and the repeater wont connect to the wifi and says cant connect to public network or something like that and is greyed out. How do you connect this to my holystone hs720? Most videos I see only are for the tello and DJ min
H ey gadget inspector you said if you can connect without changing wifi name and no password ....to let you know I did and learned it from another you tuber I follow Quadcopter 101 he did it on his channel.... maybe they updated the repeater????? just thought I would let you know ...... your still my favorite reviewer on you tube...
Very good tutorial. I get to the point where it connects and shows 100% but the yellow light is still blinking. It says to reduce interference and try again. I take the phone, repeater and Tello away from any interference and do it again with same result Time to return this device.
Finally got it to connect. Delays in controlling the Tello make this totally useless. Not sure why this works for anyone. Merely going forward or back, up or down commands take seconds and video lag is unusable.
There must be something else wrong because I don't get any lag at all. If you're using a bluetooth controller, that will cause some interference and lag, but otherwise the repeater is boosting the signal so there should be little to no lag at all.
HERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE RANGE EXTENDER: ua-cam.com/video/4F1-pAUxg7s/v-deo.html. Just in case you can't find the Xiaomi Mi anymore.
Sir this is a king level video ... Thank you!!!!! I'm wondering something to put up a very powerful extender on my house roof will that have the same effect but work better? or can two mi2 be joined? In the area there is alot of interference ... don't get me wrong the mi2 totally changed the video quality for the better... but is it wrong to want more or a fixed home station?

What was the extended range? Was it more than 20 meters?
The Mi wifi repeater range extenders go for about $12. *Find it here:* amzn.to/2tRTYq7.

Thanks for the video it is very useful, the app isn't very intuitive an it was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
first off, great video, got mine working, but didn’t extend range or make anything better
infact it made the rage shorter, so far my tello has been a complete waste of money sadly, should of got a spark
Hmm, sorry to hear that. Very strange indeed.
I get to the very end where I’m about to connect and then it prompts me “ connection timed out” , anything you could give on that?
I also have this problem. But I think that it's working. LED on xiaomi repeater is blue, so it seems to be connected to the tello.
Thank you so much for the information!! This helped me immensely!! I hope you have a great day!!
Glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for the Xiaomi setup help video. Mine now works as advertised.
Excellent, glad to know it helps.
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, I really appreciate it!
You got it, glad it was useful.
I'm brand new at this... so my question is - what do you do with the wifi repeater now? Does it hook into/onto the transmitter? Nice video. Very seldom is much said about the 2.4/5.8 wifi signals and knowing which phone had which signal to work with the FPV camera feed. Thanks for sharing.
I usually just place it on the ground or if there's a table next to me. I angle the repeater so that it's facing the direction I'm flying the Tello. I did a test flight a while ago here: ua-cam.com/video/gxOUK3c0bIE/v-deo.html
You're the man! Thanks for the help.
Really helpful - going to be using this with my Osmo mounted on a cable cam, so thanks for getting me a head start
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
OUTSTANDING lecture. Be Blessed.
Thank you for this video. I'm going to try this with the Fimi x8 se 2020 once I find a portable 5ghz repeater.
Thank You for the instructions. They were very helpful even though I am an Android user.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it works for Android as well.
Good job! Some screens were different in the mi home app on my phone (android S9), but essentially the same. Followed your set up and all is well. Thanks.
Excellent, glad it helped.
Thank you so much for your very excellent step-by-step instructions. You rock!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks! This helped heaps! Works really well too!! Super happy 😃
good tutorial, just an FYI for people with the DJI spark the Mi 2 will never actually connect to 100%. The app will always time out. It will still clone your settings but it won't offically work. Its annoying because it works but you will not be able to change it to wifi repeater mode in the app
Thanks! Your instructions still apply today (7/2019) with the most recent hardware mifi2, mi home app, and up to date Tello firmware.
Note I selected “China” as my location not Mainland China or Beijing.
I did use a password on my TELLO WiFi.
Good to know it’s still working. Thanks for the update as well.
Very nice job! I think even my wife could have set it up with these directions!
Lol...
Thanks for this. Messed up the password connecting to the Tello. To reset the drone. turn it on, hold the on button for 5-8 secs until lights go off. That should reset the drone allowing you to try and do the password again.
Yep, great tip.
Thanks so much for this great "How To Video" I followed right along and all is well. I did look at a few other charnels that did the usual "Just plug it in and turn it on BS" to no avail, what a surprise.
Ii really apricate your time and effort to make this stuff understandable.

Glad to hear that Ben...that's exactly why I make these kinds of videos. If I have trouble with something and I can't find good info on it, I know others are in the same boat. Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent video! This Made it so easy for me. Would not have been able to manage otherwise! Thanks
Glad it helped.
Huge Huge Huge Thanks.. I tried a couple of videos.. Only did i get it after this,,,
Awesome. Glad it helped.
I have a holystone hs720 and the repeater wont connect to the wifi and says cant connect to public network or something like that and is greyed out. How do you connect this to my holystone hs720? Most videos I see only are for the tello and DJ min
H ey gadget inspector you said if you can connect without changing wifi name and no password ....to let you know I did and learned it from another you tuber I follow Quadcopter 101 he did it on his channel.... maybe they updated the repeater????? just thought I would let you know ...... your still my favorite reviewer on you tube...
Ok Mark, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. You're the best!
Thanks bro..it still works..😊😊
Amazing video! Thanks for the instructions.
Excellent, glad it helped.
Thank you! Works
Glad it got you all set up.
Your instructions were spot on. Thank you sir!
Excellent, glad it helped.
Thank you this would have been very hard without you.
Awesome, glad it helped.
Ty Bro! Great vid ;) Now its working thanx to you! I'llshare your video on several forums ;)
Wow, glad this vid is still relevant after all these years. Thanks.
Best video by far on you tube! Thanks!
Thanks Richard, I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Very good info. Waiting for the same repeater to arrive and will certainly use your guide. Thanks 👍
Thanks Glenn.
Thanks for such a clear and easy tutorial to follow
You got it Geoff, glad it helped.
Great video I have a repeater like this and can't get it to work I'll try your way tomarrow Thanks Rich
Let me know if you get it to work. It can be finicky with all of these darn steps.
I'm conflicted between Xiaomi Mi WiFi Repeater 2 and TP-Link TL-WA820RE. Which one do you think is the best choice and why? Thanks in advance!
I'm honestly not familiar with the TP-Link so I couldn't say.
@@GadgetInspector, thank you anyway!
Thank you very much!!
Very good tutorial. I get to the point where it connects and shows 100% but the yellow light is still blinking. It says to reduce interference and try again. I take the phone, repeater and Tello away from any interference and do it again with same result Time to return this device.
Finally got it to connect. Delays in controlling the Tello make this totally useless. Not sure why this works for anyone. Merely going forward or back, up or down commands take seconds and video lag is unusable.
There must be something else wrong because I don't get any lag at all. If you're using a bluetooth controller, that will cause some interference and lag, but otherwise the repeater is boosting the signal so there should be little to no lag at all.
