Trouble in WIFI Paradise... looking for help!

Robert,

First, some questions:

• Have you updated the WIU firmware and the DCS App to both to version 1.1? If your app happened to self-update and you didn't update the WIU, problems can result. You must do both.
• What device are you using for the DCS App?

Hi Barry ...thanks for the reply,,,,yes I definitely  updated the WIU to 1.1 ( I did it twice to be sure) ...I use an iPad....now all I did  was delete the app and reinstall it  so I spume that the newly installed app is the latest version. 

Also, I managed to get two engines into the active list...ran them for a few seconds and then when I tried to put another engine on the track and install, I lost the two engines previously successful installed engines into inactive world. 

Very frustrating and time consuming to say the least. For weeks, I've been chuckling to myself  like a little kid saying..."I can't believe this is working they way it should...this is great!" Now this...could it be a bad WIU? Should I do A factory reset? I no this is hard to discuss via this medium so I appreciate your time.

all I did  was delete the app and reinstall it  so I spume that the newly installed app is the latest version. 

That depends on how you did it.

If you deleted it on the iPad and then re-downloaded it directly to the iPad, that should have installed the new version of the app. However, if you did the same thing via iTunes and syncing, without first updating the app in iTunes, then you would have installed the same version of the app that you had previously.

You an  check the app's version directly from the app by going to the More... screen and tapping App Settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to Version. If it says v1.1.0, you're using the updated app.

One more thing...I just tried running the trains with the DCS remote...everything seems fine...so its not the TIU...and wow the wifi app is sooooo much faster...I have not used the the remote since I installed the wifi...its like going back in time. :-0

Yes...I do have version 1.1.0...I checked that screen as you suggested. Thank you.

Robert,

I'm reaching a bit here...

• Has a anything on the layout or your router changed since the app worked well?
• Are you connecting the WIU the TIU via USB or via the serial port?
• If you're connecting via USB, is there anything also connected to the TIU's serial port?

Regarding my home router....I don't believe anything has changed...I actually reconnected in just to make sure... I am connecting via the serial port with a USB- Serial adapter...perhaps it is the adapter. Barrry, shouldn't the wifi system work on the MTH signal eliminating  my home router? I tried that too as well, no response...

Robert,

What is the power-on sequence for your TIU and WIU. In what order do they receive power and how far apart?

Barry...currently they both receive power at the same time when straiten up....they are both plugged in to the same multiple outlet strip. I hit the main button and they fire up....interestingly, I have been running trains all day with the DCS remote while working on layout shelves etc... and just know before I turn in...I  figured I'd give it one more shot and one engine out of 4 that are on the layout  was read by the WIU ....I took another train and put it on the same loop to see why would happen and it too was read  but....I did not have full control of all the functions via the iPad app ...only speed control....no sounds or lights.   

Hi Barry,

FYI...I think the issue was my iPad....it is an older model.....I tried using my iPhone and everything is working great know.... thank you for the help!
