Reply to "MTH - DCS/WiFi gremlins!"

Update to my previous posts:

I've resolved one of my DCS WiFi connection issues. At home I was having problems with my phone connecting to the WIU. Turned out to be a quirk (or a feature maybe) of the iphone. My WIU is on my home network. The router is in one end of the house and the train room is in the other end upstairs. I was having slow or dropped internet connection in the train room so I added a WiFi extender creating two networks in the house. In the train room I had to use the extender network so the iphone needed to be connected to that network. When the iphone is connected to the extender network the connection to the WIU works fine. If I walked downstairs near the router the iphone would automatically switch to the router network and stay there. Going back to the trainroom and not realizing the phone was connected to the router network and not the extender network would result in a failed connection to the WIU. Now I just have to remember to manually connect the phone to the extender network first in order to use the WIU.

Over the holidays I had the opportunity to run trains on two different club layouts. On one I was the only person using the DCS/WIU when running and had no issues. On the other layout the only issue I had was when running two DCS engines at the same time. The app kept losing one of the engines and I had to keep re-adding it to get it back. Finally got fed up and took the offending engine off the track.

Has anyone else observed a problem running two engines simultaneously on the app and the app removing one of the engines from the active list while it was running?
