      I've spent hours and hours to get the W5100 Ethernet Module working on my Arduino Nano board and unfortunately without success. I'm using the MySensors version 2.0 with the Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.15 installed. I don't understand the issue at all. I cannot ping W5100 should, not if I use a static IP or if I configure to use DHCP. I've tested it with and without the NRF24L01 Radio connected and no luck. I've checked the wires already 10 times. This is the wire-ring info:
      W5100 <=> Arduino Nano
      VDD <=> Pin 27 / +5V
      NSS <=> Pin 13 / D10
      MOSI <=> Pin 14 / D11
      GND <=> Pin 4
      SCK <=> Pin 16 / D13
      MISO <=> Pin 15 / D12

      Is this the correct wire configuration? What else can I do to debug this?

      On the W5100 I see the link led blinking on a regular basis almost at the same time as the Rx led, but I read that this HW issue and doesn't influence the behaviour of the ethernet board. Is this correct? If not, how to resolve this?

      Looking forward to hints and tips as I'm completely lost on this topic.

        @rbighouse have you seen the wiring guide in the page linked in the first post in this thread?

          @mfalkvidd yes I've read that, even multiple times. I've check the wiring 10 times as well and cannot find a difference. Also changed to another W5100 board as well as a different Arduino Uno board to make sure it is not a board issue. The problem stays the same. What I've noticed as a difference is that my W5100 runs on 5V and not on 3.3V as indicated in the wiring table. Connecting the W5100 with 3.3V doesn't start (boot up) the board.

            Just thought I'd mention that I've had good experience with adding a capacitor between GND and VCC for the ethernet module as well.
            Same approach as for wiring the radio. https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio

            Previously had problems with GW disconnecting (Eth: disconnect) which is now reduced.

                  Had lots of issues getting this to work. The issue seems to be with the ethernet part, as I only have an ethernet board attached I removed the lines for the radio and the pin redirection. Still the code kept restarting all the time or just not being able to connect the controller.

                  AVR version of the Arduino 1.8.0 kit needs to be downgraded. I had 1.6.16 and downgraded to 1.6.11.

                  Open Arduino. Tools > Board: xxxxx > Boards manager... > Click "Arduino AVR Boards" > Select Version > 1.6.11

                  Recompile and you are good.

                    Hi @DallieNL ,
                    thanks for your tips,
                    I got the same issue with serial gateway, 1.6.11 is the best.

                    David.

                      Would it be possible to build an MQTT gateway using the ESP8266 WiFi Gateway?

                        Yes, the MQTT gateway works on ESP as well.

                            For the moment, i don't think there is an howto regarding w5500 as we're mostly using w5100, but maybe you can find some infos in this topic https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2901/my-ethernet-gateway-board-w5500

                              Hi All,
                              I have an ethernet gateway base on arduino Pro mini with NRF24L01 radio and Funding ethernet card with W5100 chips. (As per description of this page)
                              All works fine when I'm connected to it with Arduino IDE. Works for hours/days.
                              If I unplug the IDE (disconnect USB) and run it alone it stop working after for minutes or few hours.
                              I have only one sensor (temperature) to test. It send Temperature and battery level every 10s (testing). Led attached to Gateway to show the traffic lit up twice each time it receive the information from the sensor. The LED lit up twice like half a second when everything is fine. Easy to see.
                              When the issue starts, the led lit up time to time but very quickly, and even very difficult to see. Some time I can ping the Gateway, some time not.
                              Any idea from anybody ?

                                  Looks like the issue is related to the power supply. I just plugged a 5V to the USB and It has been working fine for 24h. Need to review the Power supply in place.

                                    The first one will not compile since the #include <SPI.h> is missing

                                        @WizarDEAD the information in https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2901/my-ethernet-gateway-board-w5500 might be useful.

                                          Hi Guys,

                                          I'm using a Wiznet W5100 Ethernet module.
                                          The pins are described as following (I added a numbering myself:
                                          0_1487281914650_upload-a05aa788-d1ac-4ef0-b42a-7ad6b28b6e9c

                                          The MySensors Gateway uses different terms, am I 'translating' them correctly?
