Reply to "MTH - DCS/WiFi gremlins!"

Also, another setting to try is turn on Airplane mode.

The logic and reasoning is, if that is one of the iPads with cellular data service, then sometimes even when connected networking to the WIU- the app data stream goes out to the internet over cellular instead of down the wifi to the WIU.

Turning on Airplane mode forces the device to only allow wireless network, thus forcing the app data packets to the WIU connection.

Especially true for when using a Phone, but can be true for tablets.

In the past when using my phone or iPad, I first go to settings and select the MTH_DCS wifi setting which replaces my home wifi connect.   So I tried it again turning on airplane mode.   When I selected the MTH DCS wifi it was selected and I was able to run an engine.   I have 4 engines  on the layout but it could only show two active, the other two did not even show as inactive.    I started up one and I was able to get it to move.  When I tried to add engines,  I get a connection failed message and the two engines went inactive.   The one I originally got to respond was still live but it showed up inactive on my iPad.  Had to turn off the power to shut it down.    At least I got rid of the No Internet connection.    Thanks for the airplane mode suggestion.   I still have gremlins but they will have to wait for another day.

I will also try the airplane mode for my phone because I have trouble connecting to the wifi, usually takes several attempts.   Putting it on airplane mode should help that.   Tomorrow, Tomorrow!!

Thanks again for the suggestions.  

Cheers, Dave
