Wi-Fi
Select the Network settings screen.
Note: Before flying the Parrot Bebop Drone, please ensure that you comply with the
Wi-Fi frequencies restrictions of your place of flight. Certain frequencies may be
restricted or forbidden. Selecting the country and activating the outdoor option enable
FreeFlight 3 to adapt the available channels according to the legislation of the selected
country. For example, in certain countries using the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band may be
prohibited in outdoor mode.
You can connect the Parrot Bebop Drone to the 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi bands.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band enables you to fly the Parrot Bebop Drone from a
greater distance. It is generally more congested than the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band in
urban areas.
The 5 GHz Wi-Fi band enables you to obtain a better connection between the
Parrot Bebop Drone and your smartphone. Check your smartphone user guide
(or the technical specifications) to see whether it supports connection to the 5
GHz Wi-Fi band. If it does not, use the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band only.
Consult the diagram at the bottom of the screen to know the state of the Wi-Fi
channels.
