Converting The Things Indoor Gateway to an Outdoor Gateway

Convert TTIG to TTOG

The Mare and Gal Electronics blog posts about converting a The Things Network indoor gateway (TTIG) to an outdoor gateway (TTOG).

I bought used outdoor WiFi access point for couple of coffees. At first I wanted to use only the housing for conversion of the TTN Indoor gateway to outdoor gateway. But after some testing and factory reset of the AP I found out it is working and could be configured as stand-alone WiFi MIMO AP. Usually such APs require infrastructure, or at least some management server.

The conversion requires few steps:

  1. Attachment of the TTIG inside housing
  2. Connecting external antenna
  3. Providing the power supply
  4. Providing access to WiFi
  5. Configuration

See the post for the whole process. TTN certainly doesn’t make it easy.
