I've been trying for almost 2 hours off and on on 4 different devices and 3 different browsers on my laptop to access this. Is it overloaded or am I doing something wrong?

192 IP addresses are local to your home network. What are you trying to access? Something on your local network?
A device on your network may be 192.168.1.143
MTH WiFi?
You can log into your router and find the ip address of the device.
You have to connect to the mth network first, if you're trying to update firmware.

if its useless why are you reading it

I'm following the directions for LUCI
Dobermann, that IP address is a class C network which is an internal IP address on a home network. If it's on an internal device within your network then my question to you would be would be what is your home network addressing?
By default most folks are on a 192.168.1.x network and if your on that then 192.168.143.1 will not resolve.
What is the IP address of a computer, phone, tablet, etc... in your house?

192.168.1.100
ok, it seems to me that you have to access the unit wirelessly to enter the LuCI. You first have to disconnect the TIU cable/wired network cable to isolate the unit. Then look for the wireless network MTH_DCS-XXXX. Join that network. Then type the 192.168.143.1 into your browser.

Correct, that is what I was referring to. But you're not if you're going through your home netwrok.
To upgrade firmware, it says you must use the MTH network, not the home network. (Full manual, page 9, #2 at top). My laptop addresses the WIU directly, without going through the home network
To upgrade firmware, it says you must use the MTH network, not the home network.
Although that's what the manual states, you do not need to be on the WIU's MTH network to access LuCI. You just need to know the WIU's IP Address.
The address supplied in the instructions are what you'd use if the WIU is in MTH mode, since that's its default IP Address. I signed static IP Addresses to al 3 of my WIUs before updating them. Now, to update their firmware, I just power them on and browse to their assigned addresses.
Barry, aren't you the guy who always says, "Read and follow the instructions?"
If he did, he wouldn't be having his current issues.
Robert,
Actually, what I've often said is "most people don't read and follow instructions."
Ipse dixit.

Barry or RJR (or anyone else that knows),
I don't have a PC that has Wifi. Can you connect to a WIU using a network cable connection or do you have to connect using only WiFi? Seems like a cable connection should work also work? I am still waiting on my WiFi unit, or I would just try it myself. If it's Wifi only, I will get an adapter my computer.
Sorry, rtr12, I don't have an answer. But the WIU does have an ethernet port, so my W.A. guess is probably you can.

Yes, you can. I used it that way for a while and it works fine.
Put the WIU into MTH mode, plug in the Ethernet cable between the WIU and you router, plug in the USB cable between the TIU and the WIU, and then power on the WIU.
Barry, is rtr12 talking about operating trains or upgrading firmware???? If the latter, you wouldn't connect the TIU
Robert,
If the latter, you wouldn't connect the TIU
Why not?
I've done the firmware upgrade both ways, and also in both MTH and Home modes.
