Also, as looks like you have set Basic-Station (gateway mode sbs?) am unsure if that works with your earlier selection of ‘The Things Legacy - EU’ - what other options do you see for this that might work with B-S?

Also I know with other B-S GW’s (i.e. TTIG’s) there were issues with connection keep alive (that have evolved over the last year or two!) hence asking if there is a known good node in the area - it may be you need to see traffic - in your case to initiate connection vs keep one alive - perhaps others can comment on this…
