I am following the steps in the tutorial for setting up my Particle Boron, but when I get to the part where I am instructed to click “use this mesh network” it just has a rotating loading bar and goes no further.  
I am using my iPhone to connect it and the phone is all up to date and I have followed the video perfectly. Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately I have no iOS device to test, but the terminology “use this mesh network” doesn’t seem right for a gateway device.  
Usually a Boron would _create_ a network to be used _by other_ devices.

Are you trying to connect the Boron to _another_ mesh network? That wouldn’t work (yet).
