If you do your research you will learn a lorawan gateway needs a lorawan network server to work. Can you install/configure a lorawan network server on your gateway? ---

I am a new researcher, So could you please guide me? My aim is to capture LORA signal and sniff it using SDR and use this signal to do channel modelling. ---

Scroll to the top of the page and click on the learn section and start reading and watching. That should get you basic knowledge about the elements involved in a working lorawan network. Once you know about what makes a lorawan solution you can explain why you need a private network and maybe someone in the community will tell you how to do so even though you won’t be contributing to the community. BTW being a researcher does imply (to me at least) that you do the research. Not get things handed on a plate and not knowing why or how it magically works. ---

I am trying to login to the gateway using 168.168.168.253 ip addrees with admin admin username password. It is not letting me in. How can I factory reset it? ---

As you are trying to setup a standalone aka not TTN gateway and this is a forum for TTN, please can you answer Jac’s question regarding your need for a private gateway. And why the docs don’t answer what is typically in a FAQ ---

I want to sniff lora signal and transmit it using SDR as a channel modelling. I am trying to connect the outdoor gateway on things network now. but I am unable to login into ODU GUI interface.
