I am running 3 Rev L TIU’s in super TIU mode. I am using 3 WIU’s with the MTH Wi-Fi network not my home network along with the DCS app. I want to replace one of the Rev L tiu’s with the new WTIU when it comes in. Will there be an issue running the single WTIU in conjunction with the 2 Rev L TIU’s and AIU combo in super TIU mode using the app or will I need to buy 3 of the new WTIU’s? I do not use the remote so that is not an issue.
Thank you

Any luck? I have the same question
I have not received my WTIU yet. It is probably with the second batch.
The guide says this should be doable. Page 5 of the guide.
My question is why do you want to replace your TIU with a WTIU if everything is working now?
I am having signal issues using the app with TIU 3. I have full control with TIU 1 and 2 . The trains continue to run when they enter TIU 3 district based on the last signal received from either TIU 1 or 2.Once the trains come back to TIU district 1or 2 I regain control.
I am interested to compare the results of the TIU WTIU combination using the app vs the remote.

Ok so you are thinking you have some sort if issue with TIU 3, it sounds like?
Did you take TIU 3 out of super mode and try it by itself? Only saying because if it's some other issue besides the TIU then buying the WTIU won't resolve it.
I am in a similar situation running two TIU with WiFi. In 2020, I ordered a rev L to replace my original rev g TIU, but that order was cancelled and became the WTIU. I do run them in super mode and using the MTH network. Once my WTIU comes in, I will replace my oldest TIU and use it for the holiday tree layout. I will test this out later this week.
When I asked Steve Nelson regarding super mode with the WTIU, he told me that super mode would not be available when using the WTIU. That is why (in addition to my desiring to use my 8 handhelds) I have ordered two WIUs.
My WTIU came in this week and I have been testing it. I run 2 TIUs using and the WTIU replaced my older rev G TIU. I configured the WTIU and my rev H (with WIU) to run in supermode. I had no issues in getting the engines to respond on both TIUs using the APP.
what is a track interface device ?
@Bob is cool! posted:what is a track interface device ?
Bob,
Do you mean "Track Interface Unit"?
Or, specifically "Track Interface Device"?
