ADR is on but DR stays at 0 (SF12) with loraserver 2.5.1 (working with loraserver 0.18.2)

I have a node running STM32LRWAN 1.2.1

If I connect the gateway to lora-server/lora-app-server 0.18.2 then the DR is managed correctly (it goes to SF7) while if I connect the same gateway to lora-server/lora-app-server 2.5.1 then DR is stuck to 0 (SF12). With lora-server 2.5.1 I see that the network server is instructed to send DR=5 request:
Mar 06 09:44:11 y-server loraserver[1485]: time=“2019-03-06T09:44:11Z” level=info msg=“adr request added to mac-command queue” dev_eui=0101010101190015 dr=0 nb_trans=1 req_dr=5 req_nb_trans=1 req_tx_power_idx=3 tx_power=0 anyway the node stays at DR=0. I don’t understand why it was working with old (0.18.2) loraserver.

LORASERVER 0.18.1

What is the max DR value in your service-profile?

In loraserver 0.18.2 I had 0 for min and 0 for max and ADR was working.
In loraserver 2.5.1 I tested 0 for min and 0 for max and also 0 for min and 5 for max with no luck.

This is a screenshot for loraserver 2.5.1:

P.S: I discovered I’m using loraserver 2.5.1 and in theory right now I can update to 2.6.0 if you think can be helpful

There is an ADR related change in 2.6, but that is for tuning the device back when it uses a DR higher than allowed by the service-profile.

A lot has changed since the 0.x version and I suggest you to set the max. allowed data-rate properly and re-activate your device to be sure.

I discovered that with Lora 2.5 and 2.6 my node is not receving any message from the gateway, my node is LoRa 1.1.x

In LoRa 1.1.x I have the following paramters (OTAA):

#define LORAWAN_DEVICE_EUI               { 0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x19,0x00,0x33 }
#define LORAWAN_JOIN_EUI                 { 0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01 }


#define LORAWAN_APP_KEY                  { 0x2B, 0x7E, 0x15, 0x16, 0x28, 0xAE, 0xD2, 0xA6, 0xAB, 0xF7, 0x15, 0x88, 0x09, 0xCF, 0x4F, 0x3C }

#define LORAWAN_NWK_KEY                  { 0x2B, 0x7E, 0x15, 0x16, 0x28, 0xAE, 0xD2, 0xA6, 0xAB, 0xF7, 0x15, 0x88, 0x09, 0xCF, 0x4F, 0x3C }

Can you spot something wrong?
