5th controller doesn’t work

[HLE]

Thank you guys again!!!  Yeah I had some issues with my pixel tree that was because they upgraded the software and made some bugs for 4 users. But that’s all worked out and we are hoping for a great season. Hope your lights shine bright this season!!!

I read above that some of the 2nd gen controllers won't work with the third.  Is that an upgrade that just happened.  I am now running S5 and my networks are not working.  correct.  I have 10 - 16 channel controllers but the HU only recognizes the first one and it is a  CTB16D Ver 4.01,  the next one in line was a CTB16PC V1 that could not maintain a good network connection so i change it with a controller that is only a year old (it has a green network light).  This has an intermittent network connection.  and and the third controller now has not network connection.  Any clues  Maybe firmware upgrades?  Any help is appreciated.  I also have a 16 channel mini pixel tree that is not registering.

Gen3's support speeds and Enhanced mode that earlier ones don't.  The only limit is you need to only use Gen 2 speed and NO enhanced.

Now if you also have Pixies, they want fast speeds, so you need to get the Gen2 OFF that network, onto one that can run slow.

It’s been that way. Gen 3’s do not play well with earlier versions.

However I have read here that there is an update in S5 that will allow them to comm with each other.

I cannot conform that though so take it for what it’s worth.

Thanks guys, i do have all of my 16 channel controllers on separate networks from the Pixie and CCR controllers.  I am going to go back and swap the first box and see if that solves the problem.
