MTH WIFI PROBLEM

Is you WIU updated to the latest 1.1 firmware version?

MTH Firmware Upgrade Page

Any other sources that could be causing interference?

Every time that you run the app after previously shutting down and then powering up the layout, tap the Refresh button (curved arrow) on the upper left corner of the Engine Control Screen.

I either get one of the following two messages....

"No TIU Found. Make sure your device is connected to the same network your WIFI module is on"

or " Request Times Out"

All engines are suddenly in the "Inactive" mode" with no way to get them active.

Also note the following:

I can use my DCS Remote at Version 6.0  to run my trains.

Sometimes if I turn off my Iphone 7 and restart it, the system works.But it works for a while...not consistant.

Are you running in "MTH" or "HOME" mode on the WIU?  This could be being caused by your iphone especially when running in in MTH mode.  Your phone quickly discovers that the Wi-Fi connection your phone is currently connected to does not have internet access and it starts scanning for other  networks that can provide internet access.  Meanwhile, you phone will intermittently drop the connection to your wireless your MTH wireless network and so begins the problem you described earlier.

I troubleshoot this kind of problem all of the time with Apple devices. one thing you can try, toggle OFF the option in the Wi-Fi settings "Ask to Join Networks". Turning this off has served me well when users attempt to use Hotel Wi-Fithat require web authentication before internet access is granted. 

Thanks for all you guys help....My problem was two fold..

1.When I'm running my trains and leave the area with my I-phone, the MTHWIFI looses the signal and more important..

2.The I=Phone maintains a MTH window (now not responding) and when I return to the layout and restart, the Iphone memory brings up the now not working window.

Resolved by hitting the I-Phone Safari icon and Wing out the MTHWIFI....

H1000  your suggestion about the "Ask to Join Networks" was interesting...Thanks for your help!

Barry  your suggestion were helpful but Bob DeGarde of our NJHirailers hit the nail on the head.

Installed the Wifi everything worked fine.  Went back to run again and had to reinstall.  Could not activate engines.  Message to up grade to Premium app, and nothing works. Plus now I have keep reinstalling my internet.

$25 upgrade.  Will Barry's WIFI book show how to upgrade download from WIFI/TIU from computer or iPhone.

I had similar problem, mine was caused by a drop in voltage in which the battery was the culprit.

 The iPhone battery?

What exactly are you "reinstall"ing?

When did you get a message to upgrade to the premium app? I've never seen that pop up that I remember. You say nothing works, is that after upgrading?

Now, How do you reinstall your internet?

Is your phone the problem here? What is your controlling device exactly?

Why didn't you start a new post of your own?

If you power down the system and not the phone first, and go back, many times your phone or pad will revert to your houses router and not connect to the MTH WIFI.

If you power down the TIU and nothing else, you may have to refresh the app to talk to the TIU or you'll get a message. Is that what your describing?

The battery in the engines, proto 2. it would go dead and drop all the data. We had to add the engine all over again.
