content: Ok, I've googled all over the place, and the only mention I found anywhere close to what I'm after was on this forum. Hopefully you guys can help.I have a cheap drone, model in the title, that streams video to your phone via a wifi connection. The camera module creates its own wifi "hotspot" which you connect to with your device and use the app to view/record the video/pictures.Here's my problem. On a whim, I decided to see if i could access the configuration page for the wifi access point. Sure enough, 192.168.1.1 led me there. There was a pretty basic settings page and it notified me that my username/password were weak (the default was username: admin with no password) and needed to be updated. Naturally, I changed the username and password, and upon trying to log back in, it will not accept my changed credentials either due to a typing mishap on my part, or some other reason. This would no be a big deal, aside from the fact that I can no longer view the video stream from the camera, just a blank grey screen.So my question is, can I reset the wifi module attached to the camera somehow physically? Is there some sort of reset pin that I can short or something to reset it to defaults? I've researched the wifi chip and here is the datasheethttp://www.datasheetcafe.com/mt7601u-datasheet-wifi-single-chip-mediatek/Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Apologies for the wordy post.kk4zwn

content: I'm working on finding an answer for you. In the meantime have you tried accessing the wifi again through the ip and simply trying the default login? Just a thought. If I find something I'll send it ASAP but I'm not sure what signal/pin is needed when a router reset is initiated.

content: I bricked my camera the same way. Called the company, they don't even offer a replacement camera, Sent my camera to a member on here, no-go. Went out and bought another skyviper with the camera that records to a memory chip. problem solved.

content: Ha, My post was a few more down.Need some help with a camera wifi connection« on: January 19, 2016, 12:26:01 PM »Hello all, I am coming here as I really messed up and Dave said that this is the best place to find help. I purchased a "Sky Viper Video Streaming drone" (around $100 US) so not a real loss. We had fun with it, but the problem I have is it requires a smart phone or tablet to download the app and capture videos. Only my Wife and Daughter have these devices, I only have a laptop. So every time I wanted to "play" I had to enlist one f them, and they don't want to come out in the cold. I got to looking on the internet about connecting a go-pro camera to a laptop and capturing video to VLC player. Great! I found I could connect to the camera with the laptop via (192.168.1.1) and get in with a login of "admin". I was able to see the video but had a 1 second refresh rate, not streaming. Now for the oops, It was complaining about ActiveX and I thought I was adjusting those settings, but I received a message that the camera was re-setting and not to power-down, so I didn't. I then lost the wifi connection and now nothing. I tried removing power for 30 minuets and powering up, nothing. So my question here, am I screwed? I have already committed to purchasing another one of these as they are fun, even without the camera, but I would like to try and get this one back.I am able to open it up if needed, I already have but not much inside (was hopeing for a re-set button)Yea I'm a nube, but I think I got close, but no dice. Here are some pictures.
