There's many many issues that it can be. Do the androids keep a good wireless signal? (Have users check for their wifi strength at top of phone, when they have issues). If they lose wifi, then it's time to look at the wifi router
Do the phones lose their IP, or lose connectivity to 'outside world' Again, check the wifi strength, looking if there's an X in corner. This can be loss of IP (DHCP expiring) loss of connectivity to outside world (which may not be an issue in controling trains), and points fingers at the DHCP server and/or router(s)
Does it matter where people are? Bodies, and chicken wire scenery supports both make good wifi signal blockers Does it get better if you reboot wifi router(s)?
How many people are on wifi, and what type of wifi unit is it (consumer home units often have problems with more than say 4 devices connected at same time)?
If signal strength is good, but still lose connectivity to jmri server, can you? hit the JMRI webserver from phone web browser?? If you don't have it enabled, I think you can hit the withrottle port, but you'll get a ton of 'ugly' text, assuming you can hit it..
Unfortunately, figuring out what part of the network is having problems, and what the actual signs are can be difficult to find.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't recall if I saw your messages or not, but I'd imagine so as the static IP was something I read this morning as part of the troubleshooting. I don't usually steal locomotives as it's almost always just me operating, and my capacity for running more than one locomotive at once is limited, especially if they are doing separate things. The original reason I got into JMRI was that I had no clue what was happening inside my Digitrax command station and there were times that I sincerely doubted that it knew what was happening either; my use of JMRI was to try and get some visibility into what was going on in there.?
Steve,
Regarding locomotives doing separate things: I was just going to try that, and to that end, I was moving a train with a single locomotive in the Zephyr's slot 3, controlled by Engine Driver, out of staging and up the hill. I tacked a second unit, controlled by WiThrottle/slot 1, onto the rear end to act as a manned helper and as the lead unit crested the hill, the whole train came to a stop, even with the rear helper fruitlessly churning away. I went over to the computer to figure out what was going on and was surprised to find that the lead unit was in emergency stop. I pulled the system console and loconet logs. Unfortunately, I'd not timestamped all of the LocoNet logs, only the last three minutes or so. I present them here, truncated and concatenated, with system console messages in bold. I had a total of three old devices attached to the WiThrottle server: two Galaxy S5, each controlling a single locomotive, and a single iPhone 4, again controlling only one locomotive. One of the two Android locomotives was stationary in the yard during this maneuver. I will continue to play around with various devices, and this time have everything timestamped. I hope to have another operator in tomorrow as well. I have the complete system console and a partial loconet log available should you wish to peruse them. I will try the network tool you mentioned as well.
