Just to confirm the latest firmware update for the LPS8 (lgw-5.4.1640315898 dated 24 Dec 2021) does not fix these issues. When configured as TTN Basic Station:
- the ‘LoRa log’ page does not show any Logreads, all empty
- the ‘Gateway Traffic’ page shows an empty graph
- the ‘System Log’ page shows LoRa log under section ‘Previous Log: station’, with many ‘Time sync rejected’ messages

However, the TTN console is showing my gateway is active, and i get 0% packet loss so it seems to be working just fine for the moment.
I upgraded my firmware (not preserving any settings) because with version 4-Nov-2021 my gateway crashed every other day; i hope the latest version fixes this.
