Parrot Bebop 2 - Manual (Page 27)

Location
Select the country you're in to fly the Parrot drone.
For the Parrot Disco, Outdoor mode must always be enabled.
Wi-Fi band
Connect the drone to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band allows you to expand the range of the Wi-Fi signal. It is usually more
crowded than the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, especially in urban areas.
The 5 GHz Wi-Fi band provides a more reliable connection between the drone and your
smartphone. Check the user guide or the technical specifications of your smartphone to see if
it supports connection to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. If this is not the case, only use the 2.4 GHz Wi-
Fi band.
*NB: the graph at the bottom of the screen shows the traffic on Wi-Fi bands.
Before you fly your drone, check for restrictions regarding the use of Wi-Fi frequencies in the
place where you are going to fly it. Certain frequencies may be restricted or prohibited.
Country selection and activation of the Outdoor option makes it possible to adapt the Wi-Fi
settings according to the legislation of the country selected. Based on these settings, all
channels may not be allowed. In some countries, for example, the use of the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band
may be prohibited outdoors.
If you notice a problem with the quality of the Wi-Fi connection:
1. Select
Manual mode.
2. Select a channel from the drop-down menu or tap an access point directly on the graph.
Give priority to a channel that's not very crowded (transparent) or free (no curve).
3. Make sure your Parrot Skycontroller is directed towards you drone. For this, refer to the
radar on the flight screen:
