## Hardware & Software Needed
26+
27+
- [WisGate Edge Pro or WisGate Edge Lite 2](https://store.arduino.cc/pages/wisgate-lora-gateways)
28+
29+
## Requirements
30+
31+
We assume that you already connected the gateway to your local network, and you can connect to it using your favourite method.
32+
33+
You can check out the needed steps on the [Getting Started tutorial](./getting-started).
34+
35+
## Instructions
36+
37+
### Download the Latest Firmware Version
38+
39+
Go to your gateway's([WisGate Edge Lite 2](../../hardware/wisgate-edge-lite-2#essentials) or [WisGate Edge Pro](../../hardware/wisgate-edge-pro#essentials)) Arduino Docs Product Page. On the page go to the Essentials section and click the **Latest Firmware Version** link.
40+
41+

42+
43+
You will get a zip file called `WisGateOS_<version>_ARDUINO_RAK.zip`. Unzip it and you will have the required firmware files.
44+
45+
### Connect to the WisGate Dashboard
46+
47+
There are different ways to access the WisGate (default values):
48+
* Connecting to its Wi-Fi Access Point (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`)
49+
* Ethernet cable from your Computer to the Gateway (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`)
50+
* Connecting your Gateway to your LAN, getting its DHCP IP (You will need to discover the device's IP)
51+
