Configuring my drone with mission planner

I have a new drone I would like to connect with mission planner. Do I need a special wifi? Cause when it says it’s connecting it pops up saying I need to connect to a certain wifi.

It’s probably best to connect using a usb cable if you’re just getting started.

You’ve had a peek at the wiki? http://ardupilot.org/copter/index.html
In particular the Optional Hardware >> Telemetry section probably has some helpful info: http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-landingpage.html

I’ve modified the category because this was appearing as a “blog” on the front page of ardupilot.org.

Thanks, but thats not realy what i was looking for. I have it connected to mission planner with a cable, but then it asked for a certain wifi. Not sure what it means…
