Good morning guys ...
I would need to create a LoraWan Gateway for a set of 3 LoraWan sensors with a cheaper board.
Has anyone made such a project?
Could you give me a hand?
If its only 3 sensors why do you need a LoRaWAN gateway ?
Plain LoRa would be heaps easier to setup.
Define 'cheap'
I built one from a wemos d1 mini and an Rfm95 module. So only a single-channel "gateway", but it worked OK.

I need a Lora Gateway because I have to import into my supplier's Dashboard to read these values from the sensors. But I believe that Lora plain is the same.
I have already imported a purchased Lora gateway, but it can't cover the last part where these 3 sensors are, close enough.
I would like to have available a gateway lora connected to the local wi-fi network.
By economic, I mean an expense of € 30-40.

Great, can you share your project?

LoRaWAN gateways that are compliant are around 3 times that price as they need to have 8 channels.
The so called 'single channel packet forwarders' are not LoRaWAN complaint or supported and mess up connections to other users of LoRaWAN that are within range. Not a good idea at all.
Is this TTN ?
I still have the one I built but I no longer use it.
I purchased a N-Fuse mini-PCIe concentrator board and a USB adaptor and this is connected to a server running Ubuntu 20.04. The concentrator cost around 100 Euro, plus a little extra for the USB adaptor. The server I already had running as a file and media server.
