Can the DJI Neo fly without WiFi?

Hey everyone,

I just got my DJI Neo and I’m still figuring things out. It doesn’t have a remote, so I control it through the app.

The issue is that I can’t seem to fly it without a Wi-Fi connection. It also asks for Bluetooth and mobile data.

Is there a way to operate it in places where there’s no Wi-Fi available? Am I missing something?

I don’t have the Neo, but most DJI drones create their own Wi-Fi connection that your phone connects to. You shouldn’t need actual internet access.

If for some reason that doesn’t work, you could try using your phone’s hotspot, but that’s not ideal. It drains battery fast and heats up your phone.

The Neo makes a direct Wi-Fi connection to your phone. You don’t need actual internet to fly it.

I use mine in remote areas all the time with just the direct Wi-Fi connection. :slight_smile:

Yep, this is the right answer. I have a Neo, and it connects to my phone using its own Wi-Fi signal. No internet required.

You shouldn’t need an internet connection at all. What kind of errors are you getting when you try to fly?
