Open pmattia90 opened 6 years ago

pmattia90 commented 6 years ago

I found a problem using TTN GW, if i use my wireless network with wep encryption, my gateway become unstebla and start bootlooping. If with the same router i use the wpa encryption, all works.

@pmattia90 I believe it is more fundamental then WiFi encryption, as I opened my WiFi with no encryption and locked down to the MAC address; with zero success and constant reboots, hence I've now given up on this hardware working the way it is intended and opted for a cheaper more stable product.

@grahamehorner and @pmattia90: We have indeed had a lot of issues with the WiFi module in the past and most of these are directly attributed to the WiFi stack that we've used. over which we have no direct control. We are in contact with the vendors to find solutions to these issues and should soon be releasing patches.
