Find the gateway in the list for which you want to change the gateway type. You can search by name or by serial number.

> [!TIP]
> Hint!
> 
> The serial number is located on the gateway’s label.

If you have found the correct gateway, click on it. You can now proceed to the section [Change gateway type](/v1/docs/change-the-type-of-a-gateway#change-gateway-type) of this article. If you do not have the name or serial number of the gateway, you can find a gateway in another way. To do this, click on **Assets** in the menu bar.
