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?
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 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.
"@type": "type.googleapis.com/ttn.lorawan.v3.ErrorDetails", "namespace": "pkg/gatewayserver", "name": "schedule", "message_format": "failed to schedule", "correlation_id": "695617d3e82c434c883f6f88d1ed69ef", "code": 10, "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/ttn.lorawan.v3.ScheduleDownlinkErrorDetails", "path_errors": [ { "namespace": "pkg/gatewayserver", "name": "not_connected", "message_format": "gateway `{gateway_uid}` not connected", "attributes": { "gateway_uid": "mikcatta-ttn-gw@ttn" }, "code": 5 } ] } ] },
And now it’s back to behaving itself (for the past 24 hours) without any change. Fingers crossed it says this way…
