The Things Gateway - will it work on V3?

Spurred on by a Twitter topic, I thought I’d have a go at getting my “The Things Gateway” to work on V3.
The Prerequisites list 1. The Things Gateway running the latest firmware (a minimum of v1.0.8 is necessary). However, I can’t find a newer release and my device says “No new firmware available”. Is it possible to make my gateway work or is it now a coaster?

Check this page for instructions on how to upgrade using sdcard.

No sure that worked, but ticking upgrade to beta seems to make it upgrade to v1.0.8.

My next question is, what should I use for an account server?

Got it! Had to use the address from the …cloud.thethings.network/console, think I am up and running :slight_smile:

And tonight it seems (without changing anything), my OTAA requests as denied (with no obvious reason as to why)… all I see in the logs is this, and normally a reboot of the gateway fixes it, but not tonight.

            "code": 5
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },

And now it’s back to behaving itself (for the past 24 hours) without any change. Fingers crossed it says this way…
