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](https://github.com/TheThingsProducts/gateway/tree/develop/firmware) 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?

- **Account Server** : The URL of The Things Stack. If you followed the [Getting Started guide] this is the same as what you use instead of `https://thethings.example.com`. **Trying to follow the guide on : [The Things Kickstarter Gateway | The Things Stack for LoRaWAN](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/gateways/thethingskickstartergateway/) and have no idea what this means?**

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

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.

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