**Summary** _What is the issue you’re facing?_ I’m trying to connect my Dragino DLOS8N gateway to a TTN server but I’m not receiving any uplink messages. I followed the instructions [here](https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/User%20Manual%20for%20All%20Gateway%20models/DLOS8N/#H5.6.7System--3EReboot2FReset) to set up the gateway and the server. I have the gateway connect to my mac via ethernet, and also connected it to my WiFi as a WiFi WAN Client. The LoRaWAN and TTN configs are below. The LoRaWAN looks fine from the gateway UI, so not sure why nothing is being received on the TTN server. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/1/b/1b63b9a7f8080a764634735c2ea7724ee9093330.png) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/8/1/81624b165259c2647ff4f3f0510a16731b182e7e.png) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/f/c/fc77e4abfa8e9212844a790b45649f8bdc0a0cb3.jpeg) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/1/1/11605c9d570de4ca252fedaeb80c021a3a04bc85.png) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/1/5/15156abf69ba63943292f0d4be08db788c6cce1c.png) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/c/7/c712258c648f00c72df966bbe8600aca2c9477e8.png) **Hardware** _What device and/or gateway are you using?

> [@izzyzhu](#): > > connected it to my WiFi as a WiFi WAN Client WAN Client vs LAN client? Can you show the Dragino Network tab settings please? Is your GW configured as a WiFi access point itself? Rather than being a client to another WiFi Access point/Router. Can you see the GW listed as a client in your routers configuration/settings? ---

Actually if you do have your GW set as a WiFi AP you can log in from your Mac over WiFi to monitor local console/settings and just go wireline Enet to your router, which should (assuming GW set as DHCP client) then start passing traffic to the LNS…(always a good test anyhow as it avoids any issues with WiFi in 1st instance until you know its all working ok, then move GW onto WiFi) ---

This is my WiFi tab. I don’t have direct access to the router, so I’m connecting the gateway to the WiFi as a WAN client. The gateway isn’t connected to the WiFi through the ethernet cable, but I’m using the cable so I can open the gateway UI on my mac. I still need WiFi access on the mac while I’m connected to the gateway - is there a way to monitor the gateway without the ethernet cable or connecting the the gateway as a WiFi AP? Thank you both! ![Screenshot 2025-02-20 at 4.10.10 PM](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a0a7745195e0361f5869212d07231f458a9aba1b.png) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/f/f/ffe82adfe5d7b673af44f4ebff4d8a5f835ead43.jpeg) ---

It appears you are connecting to/from the gateway in three different ways - the poor thing won’t know which way to look or send traffic - if memory serves it will try to access through the ethernet as a priority - which will then disappear inside your Mac as that is very unlikely to be setup to do any form of NAT or routing. As you appear to have WiFi and you appear to be able to setup the gateway on WiFi, turn off the AP and unplug the ethernet cable. You can then access the gateway’s web console, if you actually need to, most of the time we don’t, via its IP address. If you don’t know the IP address, try LanScan, a free app that will scan your lan and report on what devices are around.
