Yes, basically here [https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/gateways/models/thethingskickstartergateway/](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/gateways/models/thethingskickstartergateway/) You dont need an EUI for the TTKGW. Just use your imagination wrt GW ID selection 🙂 Just stay below the 34 char limit… ---

Just make sure to use the latest firmware version otherwise it can’t connect. ---

Hi Jac just checking - it used to be 1.0.8 but was told some older 1.0.7’s would/should connect, but do I recall seeing that GW’s that weren’t live and getting FUOTA last year needed SD card based updates as a Security Cert had expired and needed updating before use? Asking as havent deployed a new TTKGW for a while and have 10 or so in stock that I might roll out to worthy causes in coming months to clear shelf space and need to check if I have to update them. 😉 ---

My experience is you need 1.0.9 (the version on the firmware page) for a connection to succeed. I tried with 1.0.7 or 1.0.8 earlier in the year and it wouldn’t work whatever I tried. Updated to 1.0.9 and connected immediately.
