I guess you need to add screenshots of what you have done.
The correct gateway id = hardware id was used?
The correct channel plan was used?
Did you add the server you are using to the lora device?
And did you enable the lora device?
You can check inside the WAP LR9 config (http/winbox) if you are receiving LoRa packets and/or via log if your outgoing UDP to TTN is working.
LoRa > Traffic: Shows your incoming LoRa packets.
Log: lora-dl: [server_name] Keepalive timed out, could show a possible connection issue (for example)
Also not sure if picking the wrong TTN server is geo-blocked, so be sure to pick the correct server for your region.
Hmm, maybe try:
a) an US TTN network server? You are using an EU TTN network server now.
b) check if your isp/modem/router doesn’t block the ports (udp 1700).
c) maybe read more info here: Mikrotik Gateway - Offline - not reconnecting
And try enable: Forward: Error for now, a lot more data gets forwarded then, to test.
Never ever forward error packets. That puts unnecessary load on the backend shared by the entire community.
It is not.
First change your network servers setting to ttn-router-us-west. Then read existing forum messages with regards to gateway status at the console and gateways (not) being displayed on maps. The short cut: the console status is not reliable and it takes time before a gateway shows on the map even when you have the privacy settings in the console set right.
You can provide the updates. At the top of the page there is an “edit index.md” button, feel free to hit it and create the update (with a pull request).
Don’t forget this is the community network so the community can(/is expected to) contribute.
actually I setup my lora wap kit with external antenna 6.5 dB behind my mikrotik rb3011 and rules are ok … simulate with udp client/src … more below.
i did a lot of tests … same bug … but i give you more informations with pictures
I want to know if my ISP denied udp 1700, so I used a udp client / srv between 2 computers from deferent ISP, no problem I can receive both side and I can a have a status with bytes
now time to use my udp software to capture the data from my mikrotik wap lora9 kit to my udp listener from another pc …
I put the good srv (US) and put everything like doc from this site and still have the same bug
only one side data not bith side, I know is a forwarder but is it normal ?
what’s wrong ?? i dont know ??
I can send/rx data with my Reyax Rylr896 by arduino com port to another Reyax but i dont have the arduino module to create my iot for now (still waiting my order)
I dont have a lot experience with lora, but with mikrotik it’s not the first one …
I configure the new RB2011 for you, easier for me.
I hope thet info can help you, if you need more let me know,
I keep this setup intact for next tests
Thank you for your help
my setup :
mikrotik RB2011 firmware 6.47.2 (new from box and basic firewall rules !)
mikrotik wap lora9 kit firmware 6.47.2 (new from box and basic firewall rules)
servers=ttn-router-us-west
I can’t post my RB3011 in production security reason.
print screen :

That is nothing to worry about. It might be Lora, not LoRaWAN, transmissions or random noise received by the gateway. Every gateway receives packets with crc errors.
The important thing is to not forward those packets to TTN as that will only cause unnecessary load on the shared infrastructure.
