Thanks, that did the trick. The board came up with DHCP right away. Then I enabled static IP and the board also came right up.

WeMos D1 mini won't start as gateway.
Just bought a WeMos D1 mini to use as a standalone gateway. I load the example sketch on to it and nothing happens. The router does not show a new device connecting. There is no serial debug, nothing shows up at all. I'm powering it from my computers USB. The rails are 3.31V and 4.95V. The mysensors library version is 2.3.2
To try and troubleshoot I added some blink code to the sketch. Nothing happens. If I comment out #include <MySensors.h> the light on the board will blink. I added some serial prints and they will send but only with the MySensors.h commented out. The issue seems to be with the library but without serial debug I don't know where to go next.
Here is my code.
/* * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes. * * Created by Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@mysensors.org> * Copyright (C) 2013-2019 Sensnology AB * Full contributor list: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/graphs/contributors * * Documentation: http://www.mysensors.org * Support Forum: http://forum.mysensors.org * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. * ******************************* * * REVISION HISTORY * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex, * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de> * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support) * * DESCRIPTION * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link. * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network. * * VERA CONFIGURATION: * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device.
