Hi all,

I'm delving into LoRaWAN but don't have much experience in it at all. I purchased an Arduino MKR WAN 1310 which I'm trying to get connected and according to the coverage map, I should be (barely) in range of Gateway ID: 154-indoor. But given that I haven't been able to connect to The Things Network I'm assuming that I'm actually out of range and may need a gateway of my own.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions for a low-budget gateway that I could purchase and set up? Are there any reliable resources that I can be pointed to?

Thanks!
