Wi-Fi CHANNEL.Connects Bebop 2 to the 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands.
Select Auto to automatically adjust to the frequency of the country selected on the Network settings
screen.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band enables you to fly your drone from a greater distance. Generally, it is also
more congested than the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band in urban areas.
The 5 GHz Wi-Fi band lets you have a better connection between the Bebop 2 and your smartphone for
streaming videos. Check your smartphone user guide to see whether it supports connection to the 5
GHz Wi-Fi band. Otherwise, use the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band instead.
To switch the Wi-Fi band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) manually without using the application, hold down the
on/off button for 5 seconds.
