    Hi I have (had?) the same problem as many of you have, losing WIFI connection when retracting the landing gear. Could it depend on the placement of the antenna in the cam? Maybe.
    Today I tested seven starts with the "H" rear towards me and the cam towards me too. In no start when retracting the gear I lost WIFI. Just pure luck or?

    I don't believe it is the antenna is more than likely a bug in the software, my reason to my thinking my EU version H has only every lost connection just the once when raising the undercarriage, when I lowered the undercarriage it re connected the wi-fi very quickly a few seconds maybe, and it has never done it since, and I have not change anything you would think if it was the placement of the antennas it would affect all eu versions, and this does not appear to be the case.

    I know there is a large firmware update being released within the next month to address a lot of issues users are experiencing.

    I now use an ITELITE antenna, do you think it will improve the WIFI not to disconnect?

    I cant comment on that as I don't use one, as said apart from one isolated incident losing wi fi when raising undercarriage, it has not happened since, and regarding range I'm well pleased considering its a EU version, when I carried a range test at 200ft altitude I when across open farmland and it reached 5384 ft and I still could possibly have gone further but I did not want to cross a road for safety reasons.

    Not once on did I lose wi fi signal until I turned around and started coming back after it had traveled about 300 - 500ft it lost the wi fi video signal momentary i raised the altitude towards 300 ft within seconds the signal re reconnected.

    My H is totally standard nothing has been changed, so I cant explain why some don't get a good range and good wi fi signal, if it was the antenna causing the issue why does it not cause problems for every Typhoon H, which makes me think there is a software bug in some of the typhoon H's.
