same here, issue has started to appear a couple of days ago. When I hard-reboot my TTN gateway it works again. My gateway is connected on wired ethernet.
Seems to occur more (see #ops slack channel)
Is there a way to remotely reboot the gateway over the network ?
After reboot just now, the situation seems to happen (not seen) within 2 minutes.
My gateway is forwarding (uplink) packets, and shows connected to broker but the packets seem to end up at /dev/null I think, as my test client cannot connect and do otaa.
Weird… Nothing has changed in my setup… Something strange in the backend ?
Hi All
Not sure how I can start my own topic on here, so asking this here.
Trying to activate my TTN-001-915 Gateway following the simple instruction.
Tried doing this on a Windows 10 machine connected via ethernet to my WiFi modem router and obviously this isn’t going to be easy, it would not detect the gateway as I don’t know ow to connect and log into it using Windows 10 in this way.
Ok, so I use my phone and connect the Wifi Gateway using the provided password, no problem, try the activate again (using a new device name because it won’t let me use the old one I have used before but haven’t setup!) and it still won’t connect. The LED’s are correct and flashing.
What’s up?
What am I doing stupid?
This is supposed to be an easy 5min setup, and yes I’m making video about doing this, and it’s not a great start.
Thanks

Ok I finally got it working on my Microsoft Surface via Wifi connection, but it fails to “checkin”, even though if I log in I can see my gateway is connected and I can map it etc.
What’s going on?
Thanks.
You mentioned having range problems elsewhere in the forum. Could it be that after reseating the LoRa board, that your antenna connector has come loose?
I have the 868 MHz version. I did check the antenna connection before, and incidentally did so again today. I can’t find anything obviously wrong with it. I can certainly tell the difference with/without the antenna connected.
The LoRa board is fitted under a bit of stress in the 1636D4 socket. The plastic pins connecting it to the mainboard pull it down, bending the board it seems. I was planning to reseat the board, but noticed that it involves removing the antenna connector first as it is in the way when taking out the LoRa board. That and the fact that the board seems to be fitted a bit awkwardly made me think twice, so I got a cup of coffee instead
Initially when the gateway wouldn’t connect to TTN it was sufficient to push and wiggle the board a bit to get it going.
In the meantime I have swapped the stock antenna for a GP 868 antenna and yesterday I did a more elaborate mapping of the signal. The range is limited to just over 550 m at SF7 in all directions, a marginal improvement over stock (edit: measured indoor in the attic, behind a typical Dutch roof with hardboard and rooftiles).
Let me know if I can assist in troubleshooting this further, thanks in advance,
Today I received a new second ThingsNetwork gateway. Works without any troubles!
I asume there is something wrong with the hardware by the rebooting gateways (like my first one)
Connected only by lan. I will check what is other…later.
