installed Pasp Pi with Etcher, Installed Raspi first and Etcher RAK2245&RAK831_based_on_Raspbian_OS_V2.8R_20190509.img second, putting SD card in Raspberry Pi 3+ and booted-up and stopped at:
rak-gateway login, What is the gateway User and Password ? Checked all over Internet can’t find User, Password to rak-gateway.
How do I get into Rasp-Pi to setup Password and SSH ?
It does not go into Rasp Pi OS first is this normal ?

1.You only need to install RAK2245&RAK831_based_on_Raspbian_OS_V2.8R_20190509.img, no need to install Raspi
2.The default username is “pi”, and the default password is “raspberry”.
3.In the Raspberry Pi, after the file /etc/resolv.conf is changed, if the operating system is restarted, the file /etc/resolv.conf will automatically be restored to the default.
4.The gateway has two connection methods, refer to the following picture:
I have similar a looking problem.
On correcting resolv.conf to point at my router on the LAN, names are resolving, but I still can’t ping addresses on the internet (“Destination Host Unreachable”)
My issue may be related to:
1/ I’m using a RasPi2. Is that supported? (I wish to connect via Ethernet)
step5 : Wait a moment and the installation is complete.If your gateway uses a wired connection, please reconfigure the LAN’s IP address using “sudo gateway-config” after the installation is complete.
Thank you for checking in. I did do this, and the device is accessible by ssh on the local 10.0.0…x network.
I rebooted, and did it again, but the network can’t access the outside world (breaking apt, ping etc).
I apologize if the questions seems dumb, but did you manually configure the IP Address of the Ethernet interface and the Outgoing Gateway (probably your router) IP Address in the configuration dialog, point 6.
The one you get via the sudo gateway-config command?
Thank you for carefully checking.
I did not put my LAN router address in the box labelled “LoraServer_IP” (point 6.2 in the "Get Start… doc)
(… because I was intending to run up a server on localhost). Now I understand that’s what is needed for default setup, I have tried it, and it works.
The RasPi with RAK gateway setup now does DHCP client on the LAN, can ping the 'net, and apt works.
Thank you for your time. This was most helpful.
Here is the fix that worked for me:
I was trying to login using Windows, Remote Desktop - does not work.
a. Install PuTTY on Windows machine and WhaLa, its fine.
b. After installing the following on the Pi, Remote Desktop ‘Almost’ works, but then still chokes, so I’ll just use PuTTY and be done.
Naturally you need to be sure you have SSH started on the Pi, there are other articles covering this and also how to test the SSH from the Pi , logging via via SSH to the local box.
