Test 1 -. Internal WiFi off, all throttles?connected through a router and LAN port on YD7001

• For the first 2 hours,? we had 10 throttles connected to the YD7001 and all were being very actively used.? Activities?were mostly switching in the 2 main yards and in the yards of towns on the layout.?
• With these 10 throttles in use the environment was very stable.? Throttles were primarily UWT-100s and UWT-50s, with one iPhone running WiThrottle.

Test 2 - Internal WiFi off, all throttles?connected through a router and LAN port on YD7001

• Same 10 active throttles as in test 1, but slowly connected additional throttles to the YD7001 over WiFi.? These additional throttles were simply connecting with no loco under active control.
• With 3 additional throttles?(13 in total) everything?was stable.? Two of these throttles were Wlanmaus, and one was an Android?cell running Engine Driver.
• As throttles 14 and 15 were added (just connected, not controlling trains - both were Android cell phones running Engine Driver), the environment became unstable.? At one point, all throttles lost connection to the environment.? Locos continued to run as they were before connection loss causing some panic, but the throttles were all reconnected within 30 seconds and control was regained.
• Backed off to 12 throttles, with 10 very active and things were stable again for the rest of the night.

For test 2, it is unclear if the YD7001 or the router caused the throttles to disconnect.? ?Since we were not prepared to gather problem determination data, none was gathered. Investigating this will take some time and planning for the collection of debugging information.

Overall we are steadily moving forward with the YD7001.? There will be some limit to how much traffic (active throttles it can handle), and we will continue testing to see if we can provide guidelines for this for an environment like ours.
