Unusual Problems with a MTH Proto 2 Engine with New TIU's and Wi-Fi

I am having what I consider to be unusual issues with a MTH Proto 2 9-volt engine that has a BCR installed. 

First I can not get my tablet to find the engine, but my handheld does.  I have tried placing the engine on tracks that are in TIU #1, then again in TIU #2, and also in TIU #3.  I have removed all other MTH engines and the same still happens.  

And I have a section of track that is about 75 feet long that this engine does not respond to any command from the handheld.  It runs fine until it gets to this section of track and then nothing.  The track starts in one TIU and ends in another.  I was trying to research the problem today and took another MTH Proto 2 engine without a BCR and it ran perfectly through this section of track and never lost a signal once.

This is the only engine I have with a BCR installed, could this be the source of the problem?  I have three new TIU's with Wi-Fi installed.  I have TMCC and Legacy also and all other engines run fine, both MTH and Lionel.
