Thanks @WIMorrison. I deleted the app and reinstalled- it is now connecting. I wonder if it was to do with a previous security update on the IPad? Now have to figure out how to get the layouts back in that I emailed to myself🤣. Cheers Alan

The only difference I can see is shown on the WiFi settings on the phone as follows. On the phone this setting end in 102 whilst on the IPad it ends as 101? My knowledge of wireless tech doesn’t make me any of the wiser as to whether or not this is correct or significant? Sorry!

Thank you @flockandroll but that didn’t solve the issue.

This is the address. Router has not been altered from original settings.

Hi Iain and thanks for your reply. Yes, it’s the original router. In the WiFi settings area on the Ipad it is showing that the Ipad is connected to the router (albeit that it says there is no internet connection which is of course expected). I have disconnected and reconnected this on several occasions and the IPad seems to find the router without issue each time. It’s when I open the Z 21 app it seems to think there is no connection. I tried going into the Z21 app settings area and hitting the reconnect button to ensure that the correct address was set but it always gives the “no internet connection” error. I’m unsure as to why the App thinks it is not connected to the WiFi?

Hi Due to work I haven’t been able to use my Z21 for some time. Today I was able to test some new Christmas locos and was able to connect my phone - IPhone 11 - and it worked fine. However, my Ipad would not connect. It was showing as connected to the router in the Settings area for WiFi but in the Z21 app there was no blue line and a a pop up error saying “Network Error”. I went to the Z21 app setting to reconnect but same message appeared. Given that the phone is working and I’m able to use the app successfully on said phone it’s clearly something to do with the IPad. Does anyone recognise this issue or have any suggestions? Many thanks

Desperation, really?I think you’ve over egged that pudding 😂🤣

I don’t understand this games comment. It’s still controlling a toy train at the end if the day.

Nobody is forcing you to buy Hornby decoders - other makes are and always will be available 😂 It’s not possible to support all legacy systems all the time.

Hi, not yet chipped. As far as I can tell it’s just the DT.

For various reasons just got my set on track for the first time today and I’ve got the same problem. Driving trailer hums on DCC but not on DC. Did you manage to get a fix for this issue? thanks

Yes, it was disappointing to hear that they had pulled out all the same.

So, in summary you’re speculating.

Interested to know how you know that Hornby don’t have any CAD/research for the Austerity🤷🏻‍♂️

I could be wrong.but I’m sure Hornby have had this project in the pipeline for a number of years. With this in mind I think it’s unlikely that they attempted to gazump Heljan in this regard - despite their recent efforts 🤦‍♂️Duplication is a much discussed topic but recent examples include Bachmann 55s and also Class 37’s compared to Accurascale. Punters make the choice at the end of the day. Maybe Heljan could have done an Accurascale and produced a cracking model at a reasonable price and given Hornby some competition? Just a thought…
