Hi everyone! I purchased the LPS8 gateway back in February and it worked great for the college project that I was working on. When the semester ended in May I moved back home and only recently have I started it back up again. The biggest problem that I am having now is that I cannot connect to the gateway’s portal as the wifi is not showing up. I have also tried hardwiring it with an ethernet cable and it still will not appear. Because of this I cannot access the dragino LoRaWAN portal so that I can get the device EUI to be able to link it up to The Things Stack and use my sensors… Any help would be much appreciated. I have pressed the reset button on the gateway and that did not work either! ![IMG_20211015_195002](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/a/d/addea886d5134d8cb998f947e1c147f18f7f12df.jpeg) ---

I would recommend the use of a network-cable and the fall-back IP of the LPS8. Look into the manual chapter 10.3.
