Yeah I tried connecting directly the CS3 to the PC and then entering the IP address in a browser and sadly I still have the same result (connection refused). The only thing I didn’t tried is with a crossover cable. I’ll need to buy one.

Actually I dont know if this is possible with this equipment, but in case somebody used the CS before you got it, or some firmware upgrade went wrong, many systems have a way of rescue by resetting everything to as when it left the factory. Even if there is no way of resetting like that, you could try to update the unit again. -Or even downgrade the firmware, -if such a thing is possible with the CS?!

TS did report that his latest upgrade was successful and CS3+ works normally. But it is good to try a test by reset CS3+ and upgrade again.

There are plenty of sites that show you. One last thing you may try if you have an Android phone handy??? Try down loading the CS3 app from the play store and see whether it will automatically connect to the CS3. The CAN gateway must be set to broadcast with destination address 255.255.255.255. Kevin

Yeah I already did a “reset” or kind off as it's not a real factory reset. Or maybe I missed something. I also did a full update via internet, via USB and also a forced update but nothing was successful.

But let me explain... After waiting for an answer from Märklin customer service for more than 2 weeks, I decided that I would try again. I still had an old router somewhere and wanted to try with it (without internet connection). I connected the CS3+ and the PC, and entered the IP address given automatically by the router in my Web browser. And for the first time I had a different message on screen "Märklin CS3 webserver fehler". I was really happy that it proved that the connection was there and it was what we thought. It was a problem with the web server. I did a research on Google with the message given by my browser and felt on this post https://www.marklin-user...t41168-Web-Server-Fehler I followed these steps : but before I restored my CS3 to factory settings - connected the CS3 to my other router with internet this time - Did a force update by pressing left speed knob and stop button at the same time for few seconds - The update went to the end and the CS3 rebooted. - After that connected the CS3 again to my other router without internet and tried to connect to the IP address from my browser... and you know what ??? it worked - Then I retried on my normal router and it worked also. I don't know why it didn't worked from the first try because I already did all these steps 2 weeks ago but the result is positive at the end and I feel lighter ;) I want say a big thank you to all of you for helping me and giving your advice of Märklin masters. All the best, BOOMer

I had to change a lco. address because it was the same as a new mfx signal and the loc. was changing the signal when I turned on the acc./dec/ delay function. Accessories are not supposed to activate lcoo. functions and visa versa.

Maybe a good point for the next software update from Märklin.

Does anyone know which speed the CS3 uses? I think the 2.4 speed is rejected by some of the newer routers unless some internal setting is activated. What you are referring to are the wifi radio band frequencies routers use for wireless communication, typically 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The newer 5 GHz band frequencies are a bit faster and more stable than the older and very crowded 2.4 GHz frequencies. This has nothing to do with the problem Boomer Ch had.
