Hi Clem: Have you upgraded your WiFi Interface Unit to 1.1 and your TIU and Remote to 6.0?

This is the link to the 1.1  /  http://mthtrains.com/wiu-11-fi...re-upgrade-available

Free Manual: http://mthtrains.com/sites/def...ction/50as13515i.pdf

I was able to get it all to work an an android, but I want to follow your plan and get an iPad.

Hope this helps: Gary, also feel free to hit me up with an e-mail.

Clem I feel your pain but for the likes of me don't understand why you are having so much trouble.  This should be easy as pie.  Do you know anyone in your area that has set up DCS wifi that can come over and help you figure things out?

Clem,

This is an issue I battle all of the time with Apple device that connect to Wi-Fi networks that do not have internet access. Your iPad quickly discovers that the MTH network doesn't provide internet access and start looking for other wireless connections that can.

Follow these instructions from Apple and your ipad should work with the WIU:

1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch

The above information is from Apple and can be found here.

Hi Superwarp

Anything with a computer or password  gives me trouble !!  I can't even get the iPad hooked up to my home system. Been on the phone with Apple support for three days and my internet company(frontier) two days.  I knew I would have trouble with this,  this why I took my phone, remotes and TIU down to the MTH dealer repair shop and they steered me though the purchase and setup. That worked, So far IMO the DCS remote is by far better. I'm trying the iPad because forum opinion is the iPad mini is the best for this application. Just need to know what password are they talking about? If I don't like the app, after the iPad. I will sell the app system and just use my remotes. And when the remotes no longer work, I get out of this hobby.

TYPE IN:         mthdcswifi          Make sure the switch on the WIU is on MTH.

Hi Gary

I tried that when you mentioned that on the beginning of this discussion, going to try that again right after i finish my sandwich

Clem

Clem,

Like Marty said:

TYPE IN:         mthdcswifi          all in lower case

OK this time that worked   

Now which buttons  

Where getting there apparently all that work with apple support did something

Clem

Back out and open the app and push "Run My Trains".  Do a refresh on the app (little circular icon top left) and you should be connected the WIU.

Thank you Martye     that did it

Thank you Barrry, Martye, Gary, gary, H1000 

Now to try out the BIG screen

Clem

I apologize for all the PIB I've been, I'm one of those people that just shouldn't own a computer and also I don't think my brain is working very well anymore.

Clem  

Clem,

You're still posting here, and you're willing to try out the newest of the electronic control for your trains. I'd say you're doing pretty good!! I wish I could get my dad on the same page as you.

Besides, Your question may be a question that someone else has someday and they can thank you for getting this information posted online.

Hi Clem: Congratulations: You Got It 

Gary

Still would like to know why it didn't work the first time I tried it last week
