Update. Tried to activate the gateway for a wired Ethernet connection. It goes into a reboot loop again, but the led-patterns are different. It displays “connect to the internet”, and then “activate”. I can see the device on my home network. Then, the first two leds are on, no flashing. Then it goes into a reboot.
I got this information reading the documentation published on the by The Things Network on their site, so if it’s I correct then they need to update it ? Only trying to use the information at hand to try and identify more info about this reboot issue and possibly root cause.
Thank @arjanvanb , I think this should be available on the FAQ page. When digging in an issue it is difficult to predict what will be useful as the bug is usually in a place that we expect to be clean
All well, but to my information, there are quite a few initial backers stuck with not usable TTN-gateways at this moment. Some information is becoming available in this thread. But it is mainly from backers, and without a clear identification of root cause and solutions yet. So, be prepared to answer questions from your initial backers as to how this problem is going to be taken up by The Things Network. I would like to see the problem being acknowledged by The Things Network, and a clear outline of the process that is going to be followed.
I would say we don’t know exactly at present, if the firmware/hardware reboot is caused by a edge case created by an,issue with backend issue or environment (isp) more information is needed.
there are 160 gateways more active then 5 days ago, active, not activated, many of them are new TTN gateways, how many I don’t know.
trying to figure how many are working correctly and why are they working correctly, its not that every delivered gateway gives problems.
I am surprised that enclosure of the gateway that has some relatively high dissipation components (I measured up to 50°C on some surfaces while ambiant temperature is below 25°C) has no opening and no efficient radiation surfaces (no metal plate or other radiators). I don’t think that it is related to our issue but it it is surprising to me.
Haven’t connected to my TTN-gateway via the serial port. On the home network gateway, it looks like the TTN-gateway is connected (wired or wireless). From the outside, and without proof, it could even be basic networking: like a failed DNS lookup, incorrect gateway address, or comparable. Do you think that can be checked?
so what happens when I select a SSID and enter a wrong WPA password, will it fallback to the previously working SSID or will I lose access to the gateway - who knows or tried …
Have not tried this. Based on documentation, I would say that the network connection is initialized once. When you want to do this again, you will first have to reset the TTN-gateway. Meaning: after restart you will start from scratch again. So, no fallback to “previously correct settings”.
