WiFi connectivity
-
I have a Sentinel with the 5G modem installed.
I have not put in a sim card yet and have been operating using the alpha WiFi antenna. I had my maiden flight today including doing a waypoint mission wiht QGC.
I had a lot of disconnect / reconnect announces. I was not flying far - 50m max and no more than 10m high.
I have a travel router taped to the top of my monitor as the connection point.What can I look at to see if the signal is fluxuating and really that weak?
Do I need to shift to 5G? (maybe the SANAV anntennas will make a difference?)I am also starting to learn how to use logs. If there is a good tutorial I can look at I will certainly spend time there.

@Paul-Carff WiFi is primarily for local debugging, it will not work well at range. It is heavily dependent on typical wireless interference issues and channel sharing as well as the modem at the ground station.
