TTKG - The Things Kickstarter Gateway

My TTG has been running for years, successfully moved to V3 about a year ago. 4 days ago all my devices stopped having messages forwared. In the console my GW still kept sending status messages. I went through the configuration routine of the GW, testing different wifi’s. All seems well (config correct: true, broker connected: true), but under " “Packet forwarding” no packets are registrered up or down. I have tested using another antenna. I will take my devices near another GW in my area to confirm they are transmitting, but at least 6 devices stopped having messages forwared at the same time. When I schedule downlinks, I see no response in GW live data. As the GW seems connected to the broker I am unsure what info to share. I think the status messages from GW seems suspicious, only memory usage has a value > 0.

My plan forward is to use an AirSpy to look for obvious radio pollution @868mHz, and to investigate if the gateway has a serial port I can listen to for diagnostics.

I will happily share more details if you will help me troubleshoot.
