I have two of these, and don't have any issues:
On my phone, I disable my home wi-fi, and then I get a lit of other networks available, I connect to the one Loco XXXX (I have now renamed it), once it is connected, I open my browser, and navigate to 192.168.4.1, the loco remote control page comes up and off I go.
The instructions are quite clear, but they MUST be followed line by line (until you know what you are doing), and it works.

exactly what have you done, and which part are you having problems with.
Ah that sounds better, similar to my Z21 that creates its own WiFi hub.I have two of these, and don't have any issues:

Yep, that is it exactly, I have a number of devices that are similar, but it seems to catch a few people out, often reading and misinterpreting the instruction, the fact you need to disconnect from your home network

If it has the pins for lights and sound, because you bought that model, just follow the instructions, however, if it did not come with the light and sound pins, that is it.

If you bought a Maxi with internal sound:
It should have come as a 'stack' of boards. - You only get horns with this option, and just plug an 8 ohm speaker to the board.
If you chose an external soundcard, was it a MyLocoSound? - This would probably have eight wires:
Two to power the card. - Can come from your battery, after the switch.
Two would go to the motor. - To sense the speed.
Two to the speaker. - So you can hear it.
And two would be triggers, for horn/whistle, and 'something-else'.

Agree with Phil, I have the on board sound (which I found disappointing), but there are three boards stacked, just follow the instructions, you just need to plug your speaker in.If you bought a Maxi with internal sound:

Thank you guys, I email Loco Remote and got a great reply
Do you see the loco remote WiFi on your Tablet or Phone whatever you are using?

no , It looks like the unit is not working , I get no little green light on it
Unplug the last things you connected, and see if it comes to life..
Perhaps you have a short circuit somewhere?

I contact loco remote I was told. If the red LED on the bottom green board is staying on then there is a fault, return the boards I will replace them, Apologies for the problem. top man
