I can connect to my spark using wifi. I can connect to the DJI controller using wifi. But when I pair them, the wifi for the drone stops transmitting. Any idea why? What am I doing wrong? Can't find any tutorials on this issue.
Spark wifi stops transmitting when paired to controller

It is fine, afaik. It should be like this, bc there’s no reason for drone WiFi to work, when it’s connected to RC.
What makes you think the Spark WiFi isn’t transmitting if it is operating properly?!?
Well, I have learned that it is transmitting, but not broadcasting its SSID. I need that to connect to the Spark so I get the video feed, right? At any rate, when I connect to the controller, I'm not longer connected to the Spark with my phone or tablet.
I need the phone to be connected to the Spark's wifi to get the video feed through Go 4 or Litchi, right? What am I missing here?

There are two different ssid's, one is for phone to AC, the other is for phone to rc. The rc connects to the AC and is not visible. I hope this helps. If you follow the proper DJI connection sequence, in other words using RC you should have no problems.
PS, the phone to AC ssid disappears when connecting with RC! You will only see the ssid for phone to RC.

That’s exactly how outs supposed to work.
ie: When your Spark WiFi is connected to the remote controller the aircraft will no longer appear on the phone’s WiFi list.
if you reboot and just turn on aircraft and phone you can directly connect again to WiFi of Spark with phone. That’s how you can control Spark using just phone instead of remote
Totally normal
Yes. I understand that.
I was explaining how it works in various configurations for better understanding of the WiFi behavior.
Are you not able to connect Spark and RC and phone all at the same time and operate the aircraft using RC while viewing the video feed?!?
This is a common issue. If you use the search tool there are several step by step instruction sets.
I have previously posted the procedure that fixed it for me. Here is the link
Hey! I finally got it working! Here's the tutorial that did it: Sync DJI Spark and Spark Remote Control Tutorial | Heliguy
I thought I had to connect to the Spark wifi for video during flight because I had connected to the RC wifi once before and didn't have any video - although everything else was working. Thanks for all your help!!
