Okay, the brave new world isn't working out so far. I got my new wiu on pre-order and didn't use it until just a couple days ago. I took my tiu, wiu, and remote down to the dcs users group meeting to get the updates installed.
Now that everything is up to date I plugged it all in and waited for all the lights to look right.
Initially I was able to load one engine but it wouldn't move and the whistle didn't work. The whistle feature gave me a prompt saying I needed to buy the $5 upgrade, which I knew was foolish just to get one train working but I did it anyway. Still no luck.
Now during this whole process my tablet, a samsung tab 3, kept switching back to my home wifi. To alleviate this issue I actually made my tablet forget the home wifi and latch onto the wiu. Even with that arrangement my tablet keeps losing the wifi connection to the wiu and then telling me there is no tiu to find. All the while my tiu is working just fine with the remote . Is there something wrong with my wiu, or maybe just with set-up? I have it switched to mth mode.
I explored using the home mode but there is no wps button on my modem and I haven't gotten to a hard computer to try the advanced method yet. I am really concerned that I have a bad wiu unit, but I want to be sure before doing anything drastic. All help appreciated,
