Issue: Unsure
Setup: RAK7246 - 915US, 1 antenna
Server: TTN
Details: My LoRa nodes won’t connect to TTN. They stay in “Activation” mode and never fully connect through the RAK7246 gateway. TTN shows the gateway as active and I’m running the latest firmware. I purchased this gateway less than a month ago.
