Thanks Lars. That is good and bad news.  My home router is BT Home Hub 5.  I don't really want to change that.  I guess I need to get the Rocco supplied router and just have it set up for the model rail.  Thanks again for your quick reply

Maybe you should try Roco support first - they are very helpful.

I have an issue that has developed with my Z21.  Has anyone else experienced this?

 

I connect via an Android tablet.  After a short time, the app indicates that it is no longer connected although the

tablet still has a working wi-fi connection. The app has lost complete control of the Z21.

 

Under settings, I press "Restart Socket" which results in the message "Connection successfully" (sic)

 

But returning to the operational screen, the app is still not connected.  Closing the app and restarting does

not correct the problem  

 

I have another tablet with a different version of Android.  I can connect that to the Z21 and control the locos

which indicates that the Z21 is fully connected.  However, the same problem will shortly effect this tablet

 

Rebooting the tablets restores control but this is not an operational solution.  Any ideas?

 

I have had my Z21 connected to my normal home router since I bought the Z21 last October but this problem is new  

 

My Z21 software is up-to-date

 

Thanks in advance

I had the same problem - it has to do with connecting to your home router. I solved it by using the Z21 router as my home router, making the Z21 router work for both my compputers and my Z21. 

Good luck

Thanks - I have contacted Roco and waiting for an answer - I will be back with their answer.

I never had any answer from Roco! I managed to move the pages item for item as suggested by Alan:

"On my IPad I can move each accessory one at a time to a blank page by touching and holding the item so it can be repositioned. Then, still keeping it under my finger, move it towards the edge of the screen, say the left side, when the edge is reached the next screen slides across. So, you can basically slide each item between screens and reposition where you want them to be. It's a bit of a fiddle on and only one at a time can be moved. However it's probably quicker than setting them up again on a new screen."

Thanks to Alan - have a nice summer -- we haven't seen much of it here in Denmark!

Ah! No, you can't, sorry. Theoretically you should be able to do it, if you have a way to read the archive/data and manually manipulate it. But AFAIK Roco has not disclosed the format nor the method of creating/reading/manipulating the archives, so I'm afraid you're stuck, for now. Have you thought of asking Roco themselves? There's a contact on the Z21 website somewhere.

To remove stuff from the Z21 app, open the file manager in your device (phone and/or tablet), then navigate to the device storage -> rocoZ21-layouts or rocoZ21-backups. On my phone it's located at the /storage/emulated/0 directory. Select all files to delete and press the bin icon. Confirm and it's gone. Restart the app, or better: make sure the app isn't running while deleting stuff.

 

HTH!

Tried it - but not able to delete individual pages ?!

Hi Lars,

 

Sorry I haven't put that correctly. It's not a cut and paste operation at all, it's a move operation. On my IPad I can move each accessory one at a time to a blank page by touching and holding the item so it can be repositioned. Then, still keeping it under my finger, move it towards the edge of the screen, say the left side, when the edge is reached the next screen slides across. So, you can basically slide each item between screens and reposition where you want them to be. It's a bit of a fiddle on and only one at a time can be moved. However it's probably quicker than setting them up again on a new screen. I hope that helps and apologies for the incorrect info re cut and paste.

 

Cheers ... Alan

Thanks Alan - Yes that works on an ipad ☺ but not on android - so I will get on to it 

I had this problem. I think I ended up selecting all the objects, cutting and pasting them to an empty screen. Then repeat for any other screens so all the empty screens end up at the end and you don't have to scroll past them. Tedious but once it's done it's easier.

Cheers ..Alan

Hi Alan - how do you cut and paste the objects ? Please ☺
