Dear all, I bought a new Mikrotik gateway and it’s been 2 days since I try to have a connection under TTN. My gateway is receiving the data, but I am not receiving anything in TTN. Currently it is connected in ethernet to my box. I followed several “tutorials” like: > [@Mikrotik Gateway - Offline - not reconnecting](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/mikrotik-gateway-offline-not-reconnecting/39197/35): > > I seem to recall intentionally mis-setting this in the past as an experiment and still getting a moderate amount of traffic through While you’re not wrong, the console logs of the current Semtech packet forwarder repo assume they can extract a device address from messages, too. One can’t read too much credibility into these things, but they can be handy for debugging when you see something you were expecting to. Also note that LoRaWAN should always use coding rate 4/5.

I suppose you need an external DNS Server. How can your Gateway resolve names like “router.eu.thethings.network” ?!? Something like > /ip dns static > add address=8.8.8.8 comment=externaldns name=GoogleDNSPrimary > /ip dns static > add address=8.8.4.4 comment=externaldns name=GoogleDNSSecondary You can choose the DNS Provider as you like. ---

thanks for your answer, and sorry again but I’m not an expert on network :). I add in the Ip dns static but it’s still the same ☹ ---

This was my fault… Static DNS ist not the right command to configure DSN Server. It is to map a name static to an IP Adress… ---

As writen in [the mikrotik wiki](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DNS) the right command is: > /ip dns set servers=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 ---

I found my problem, I just change one number of my gateway in my gateway and I recreates a others one in TTN. And now it’s working… but I don’t know why
