No luck registering for me. I’m seeing it fetching the configuration: ```plaintext CNFG: Load online user config state change to 6 FREQ: APP_URL_Buffer: https://account.thethingsnetwork.org/api/v2/frequency-plans/EU_863_870

and @mschelter [two weeks ago](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/ttn-gateway-central/10976/92)), and seems to restart with `Reboot reason: 0x13`: ```plaintext CNFG: Load online user config

“Configure” while still connected to gateway’s AP. Next, when connected to the internet again in Step 4, “First message” the LEDs loop until 3 continous lights (“Activated”) and I see some LEDs flashing on the LoRaWAN board. I’ve repeated a few times by holding down the reset button while powering up. > [@rish](#): > > While on step 2 of the activation process - “Connect to the gateways WiFi access point Things-Gateway-XXXX”, make sure to forget the WiFi access point from your computer once you move to step 3. Otherwise it will keep interfering with the gateway. …@rish, but Step 3 needs this connection, doesn’t it? So, one should only connect to the internet after Step 3? > [@Leondegeling](#): > > The lora board seemed to be well in place but I found that with a little force I could wiggle it around slightly and push it in just a bit further. Did you do all that by only removing the white cover, or did you also remove part of the black casing? > [@Leondegeling](#): > > Can you push gently the LoRa module into it’s socket? En then power cycle the gateway. Maybe even keep a little force on it while running. Just to check if it might be cause by a bad connection. Any specific place or direction to apply that force? In my case [http://things-gateway/info](http://things-gateway/info) is accessible on my WiFi network and [says](http://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/5/516716e056b6e1e054e3d002d8daf5d28ffc757e.jpg) `Gateway Card: 868Mhz` and I see LEDs flashing, so it’s surely (partly) connected. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/ttn-gateway-central/10976)._
