I think you are correct because the gateway has since been online on LORIOT fairly reliably, I’m using cellular and I think the network strength is quite variable here. I see a similar pattern with a Multitech gateway we have deployed in Portugal whereby it is offline for a few minutes each hour due to variations in signal strength.
Thank you for your help.

If you are using a second connection, or you can add one, the new firmware support Backhaul Failover, where you can configure ping interval and automatic connectivity change. This can be useful for your case:

Hi!
I installed at 7249 the latest firmware “WisGateOS_1.1.1_RAK_20210712162902” and have now the problem, that I cannot change the gateway EUI in the “packet forwarder” form manually.
The UI shows “ac1f09fffe016618”, but for registration at Loriot LNS the 4 digits in the middle have to be “FFFF”. Because while registration of the gateway I can just enter the MAC address, which is autoamatically filled with FFFF after the 3rd byte.
So how can I change this EUI in the UI of gateway 7249?
Thanks in advance
Best, Andreas

@velev any idea how to change the DEV EUI?

@AndreasK You can not change the EUI of the gateway. The EUI of the gateway identifies the gateways in a unique way, the same as the MAC address. You can follow this guide here to register your gateway to the Loriot network.

sure. unique. but the EUI is the MAC address, after the 3rd byte of MAC address there is inserted a FF FE to create the EUI. So no problem if it changes from FFFE to FFFF. In the former versions of firmware this was easy possible. I would appreciate if this is possible again.

@AndreasK No this will not be possible. Loriot uses their own packet forwarder which manages all this for the RAK gateways. So, follow the guide, and you will manage to connect the WisGate Edge gateway/s to Loriot.

Can the RAK7249 support LoRaWAN 1.1 if Loriot or ChirpStack server (which both are LoRaWAN 1.1. compatible) are used as the back end?
Hi Velev (and others),
My previous gateway has been working well on LTE.
I am now having similar issues with a RAK 7268 Gateway. It briefly connected to Loriot but then fails to remain online. It is currently set up on wifi and has a good connection.
The ps command output is (minus my wifi password):
BusyBox v1.23.2 (2021-07-21 15:56:56 UTC) built-in shell (ash)

And the system log gives the following (below) which suggests that there are conflicting processes occuring, should I do a factory reset and start over?
