    I finally got the RFM's working.

    I tested the range. The gateway was inside my house and i could walk around 70m away (outside). After that the connection dropped. I tested this also with the NRF's and the range is about the same.

    The RFM69HW 433mhz should be much better? I attached a 17.3 cm wire as antenna. Any tips to increase the range?

    Disabling the signing helped a little.

      Dont know if you have any connector for that, but found some interesting breakout boards for RFM69
