I recently added the DCS-WiFi to my layout and started noticing area's in my yard that it seems that I am losing connection to my engines. Now I have tested with several different engines from PS2/PS3 and all do the same most of the time, but not all the time. When running with the Wifi app the engine will just stop and shutdown and the app try's refreshing and I lose the engine and it goes to my inactive list. So I busted out the old DCS handheld remote and rebooted the DCS system and tried again with it. When it happens with the DCS remote I get an "out of RF range message" and the engine just powers down. I originally thought it was a power issue and checked my connection and there is definitely power there. I cleaned all the track and ran a signal test in the yard and it shows solid 10's until it drops the connection and shuts down. I have read some of the other posts with this message of "out of RF range" and my TIU/handheld are on the current 6.1v. I have an older TIU-when it reboots I get a single red light flash and it stays on after the reboot. Is it possible to have a bad TIU channel? Wondering if I should change one of my variables to fixed and run that section from there? Also, was not sure if trying the telephone cord connection with the handheld and TIU would do anything? Any suggestions please!
