I have been having fun with Icab for a little while now. I have experienced a few problems, and wondered if there are easy solutions.
Problem1: Icab disconnects from the Lionel wifi. This happens in certain areas of the layout, where I really need to stand for operation purposes. It creates big problems when you lose control of expensive engines! (The distance isn't very far from the wifi unit, but my layout is in my office basement and I have lots of filing cabinets. I assume they are blocking the signal even though my home/office wifi broadcasts a signal right through everything).
Problem 2: When it disconnects my phone then jumps automatically onto my home wifi network so I then have to go in and manually connect to the LCS wifi all while the engines run uncontrolled. (My solution has been to tell my phone to forget my home network, but that is a lousy solution as I always end up having to put the network back into my phone after running trains).
Problem 3: My home router does not have a WPS button. I thought that I could solve problems 1 and 2 by running everything through my home wifi, which does reach everyplace in my basement, but I don't believe you can use the home wifi without a WPS button.
