LT-22222 with LPS8 gateway on Meshed AU915: repeated OTAA joins, no uplinks

@Sgrobler

Some differences - do they explain the problem I had before?

I don’t see anything referring to a frequency plan. Maybe it’s in the status messages? Or a change in some URL that the new firmware uses? I just read/remembered that AU915 and AS923 have their own endpoints on Meshed as well:

@Maj

AU915 UDP gateways should point to au915.thethings.meshed.com.au
AS923 UDP gateways should point to as923.thethings.meshed.com.au
AU915 and AS923 MQTT (and other) gateways should point to thethings.meshed.com.au (or router.au.thethings.network)

And as for:

@arjanvanb

For ttnctl gateways status , when invoked from Europe, I still see Last seen: 2020-09-29 14:14:39 and Frequency Plan: EU_863_870 like earlier.

I just read:

@Maj

Running ttnctl gateways info might show the incorrect band plan for your gateway. Don’t worry about this, it is incorrect. It’s because ttnctl doesn’t support the new V3 gateway offloader completely.

Though the latter is about info (which already showed AU915 for me), not about status (which showed EU868), maybe that still explains things.

Meanwhile, that very same gateways status, when using my EU868 TTN account, is giving me no results at all:

ttnctl gateways status eui-a840411eb93c4150
  INFO Discovering Router...                   
  INFO Connecting with Router...               
  INFO Connected to Router                     
 FATAL Could not get status of gateway. 
 GatewayID=eui-a840411eb93c4150
 error=Gateway eui-a840411eb93c4150 not found

But gateways info still looks good.
