Need help with Re-connecting Lionel Caboose Cam Wi-Fi

I don’t have the caboose, but I do have the CSX Theater Car with camera.  The theater car has a reset button on the bottom (without the manual handy I assume it is to reset the camera).  Does the caboose have a reset button as well?

The only thing I can think of is make sure you are connected to your home wi-fi connection. I connected both the Caboose and the Theater car with my home wi-fi and I can see them both using the App lionel uses to connect to your device. If all else fails reset the Caboose Camera and try again.

It almost seems like you changed the IP Address of the camera and did not connect it to your home Wi-Fi. So you may need to reset the camera anyways.

Thanks guys.  Yes, there is a reset button.  No, it didn't help my Wi-Fi find the camera.  I sure had high hopes that it would.

I can see my home Wi-Fi from the camera, and they are connected.  The camera doesn't show up on the phone, or the computer.  It used to show up on the phone, right away.  I will keep trying things, but the message from the Lionel app is that the camera is offline.  That means the app is working, but my phone can't find the camera code like it used to.   It must be a Wi-Fi setting that is blocking the signal from getting through.

I will keep trying.

I think, if I recall correctly you need to hold the Reset button for 10 seconds. Though I am not 100% certain since I can't find the manual on the work computer currently. I will double check when I get home from work though.

It may be something is blocking the signal or some security setting is causing problems. 

T, the manual says 3-5 seconds.  I don't think it's security.  The reset, if it's working properly, should put out the factory setting, negating anything I did.  I've been fiddling with it, but, everything with my phone continues to work as before.  I'll keep at it.

Thanks for your support.

Success.  It is working, as before.  Thanks TCochran and MrMoe50.

Having eliminated all variables with the Caboose Cam and it's software, I figured it must be my phone's Wi-Fi.  Since everything else was working with it, I simply hit the phone restart button.  Powered on, but, still nothing.  Held the Caboose's restart button for 10 full seconds, waited 2 minutes, and there it was.

I still can't get it to connect with my computer, but, I'll simply download good videos from my phone.   You gotta love the OGR Forum.

Jerry,

See my post on this forum area that Dave Olsen from Lionel replied. I could not get my ipad to connect but it showed the Lionel app opened. He said to touch the "t" or add button in the top right corner of the screen so the ipad gets added to the caboose.

Thanks, Ted.  These things are tricky for an oldtimer.  My problem was the camera would not load into my phone's Wi-Fi.  After much tinkering, I hit restart on my phone, and reset on the caboose.  All is well.
